“I am extremely pleased to join the WebBuy team because it affords me the opportunity to play a role in the exciting and dynamic world of digital retail with an organization that will reshape the face of this industry,” Clark said.

Clark said he is excited to bring his sales and technology experience to WebBuy’s dealer-centric web application, which allows buyers to choose a new or used vehicle, lock in a price, get an instant trade-in offer, and arrange cash/finance/lease payment. They can add a co-buyer, choose rebates and then complete the deal – all online.
