Auckland, 21 April 2005

Today go auto launches go auction, an exciting new addition to its interactive car sales network.

go auction enables users to buy and sell vehicles through an online auction at www.goauction.co.nz. Vehicles are promoted through go auto’s fully integrated advertising platform, go auto tv (SKY Channel 205), go auto magazine (on sale weekly) and, for the first time, in the Herald on Sunday.

The integrated platform gives greater opportunity for buyers and sellers to be connected over existing traditional auction systems and the relatively new online-only alternatives.

The launch of go auction will be supported by an extensive media campaign on TV and Radio.
