Sirius has announced an introductory three-month trial for Mercedes Benz Certified pre-owners, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of the satellite radio service that is offered by the factory installed device in the latest Mercedes Benz models.

Called the “SIRIUS Everything” package, this special feature can be availed of as a monthly subscription after the three-month trial period. But while that can be decided on later, check out if the service is something you would love to have on your car for the mean-time. You have three months to decide!

“We are delighted buyers of SIRIUS-equipped Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned vehicles will now be able to experience all that SIRIUS’ exceptional service offers,” said Mark Webster, Manager, Pre-Owned Operations, Mercedes-Benz USA.

To help in the immediate sale and disposal of their new and pre-owned vehicles, iBidMotors has announced that it will give all GM & Chrysler dealers the ability to advertise their inventory at no charge for 60 days. iBidmotors has been going great guns as of late, hitting $100M in sales online and acquiring Monster Motors. This latest move is bound to further bolster their credibility although their main focus is to aid the many dealers who are going to be cut off soon by the two giant car manufacturers from the US.

“iBidMotors’ commitment to GM and Chrysler during these turbulent times is unprecedented,” said Bob Schiff, iBidMotors Founder and CEO. “Over 8,000 car dealers are affected by this bankruptcy, and by offering to advertise their inventory online for free, iBidMotors will help viable dealerships continue to thrive and contribute to saving jobs in communities across the country,” said Schiff.

iBidMotors has hired additional staff to accommodate the influx of new clients that they expect will take advantage of this extraordinary offer. Dealers have until June 30th to sign up for this program.

While most car manufacturers are trying to cope up with the times and devise schematics to avoid falling into the financial hole, BMW is enjoying great tidings with its pre-order offering.

The demand for BMW’s certified used vehicles in the U.S. has jumped off to an excellent 2009 start. In the first two months of 2009, BMW Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) sales are up by 24 percent to 19,000 units and the company is on track to beat last year’s record number of 104,000 units continuing to lead the premium segment of the market.

In the current economic climate, BMW Certified Pre-Owned vehicles have become a significant source of revenue for BMW dealers, not only balancing new car sales but also generating additional aftersales and warranty business.

Every Certified Pre-Owned BMW comes with a protection plan that is designed to exceed customer expectations, since only the best pre-owned BMW vehicles — recent models with less than 60,000 miles or less than 60 months old — are selected for certification. In addition, BMW provides warranty coverage for every Certified Pre-Owned vehicle for a total of 6 years/100,000 miles (whichever comes first) from the vehicle’s original in-service date.
