Carmigo Partners with CarBucks to Offer Flexible Floor Plan Pricing
CarBucks offers flexible, long-term floor plans for the purchase and holding of your dealership’s inventory.

Carmigo now accepts floor plan pricing through CarBucks. No more waiting to reserve the necessary stock you need for your dealership due to pricing limitations.

CarBucks is a viable solution if you are a dealership looking for quick cash flow, and offers great terms that you won’t find with other floor plan financing. They have a simple application process, transparent pricing, and competitive terms. In fact, their plans have no curtailments for maximum cash flow–up to 180 days.

Carmigo is excited to partner with CarBucks to offer these flexible finance options to our dealers. We believe their transparency and “customer-first” approach aligns well with our own company values, and will further aid us in making wholesale as easy as possible for dealerships.

Carmigo announces promotion of Austin Hille to Director of Marketing

Carmigo announces promotion of Austin Hille to Director of Marketing

Hille has served in the company’s leadership for more than two years, and is now taking on a new role and responsibilities

Carmigo has announced the promotion of Austin Hille to Director of Marketing. Hille left his role as Manager, Marketing Strategy at C Spire to join Carmigo in November 2021. He was the company’s first full-time marketing hire. Since then, Hille has taken on a wide range of responsibilities within the company.

“We originally brought Austin onboard to build out our consumer marketing strategy, but as Carmigo has taken on more of a dealer-to-dealer focus, we needed him to step outside of his original role,” said Andrew Warmath, CEO and Co-Founder of Carmigo.

“While marketing is still his primary responsibility, we’ve all been impressed with his ability to serve the company’s goals wherever we need him.”

Hille has managed projects within product, sales, and operations. Most recently he oversaw the launch of the company’s new wholesale platform – Carmigo Turn.

He’ll now work alongside other departments to ensure the company’s growing salesforce has the support it needs to scale their dealer network, and will continue to build out a dealer-focused marketing strategy.

“2024 will be a massive year of growth for us,” said Hille. “I am happy to help in any way I can to help us realize our goals this year. It’s been a privilege to work with the team at Carmigo thus far, and I am excited about what the future holds for us.”

Carmigo launched Turn alongside a suite of improvements for its users on February 1. In the first quarter of 2024, the company has more than tripled its salesforce and is anticipating unprecedented growth throughout the year. Visit carmigo.io to learn more.

Carmigo elevates Chris Michael to Vice President of Operations

Carmigo elevates Chris Michael to Vice President of Operations

Michael is a nearly three-year veteran of the company, and now serves as a Vice President alongside new responsibilities

Carmigo has announced the promotion of Chris Michael to Vice President of Operations.

Michael started at Carmigo in April of 2021, just three months after the company’s founding. He has remained a foundational member of the Carmigo team, and has lead its operations department across multiple company wide initiatives.

Carmigo started as a solely consumer-focused platform with in-market inspectors across the Southeast. Michael oversaw the inspection and post-sale teams when they were in-market, managed the transition of those teams to headquarters based roles, and is now in charge of managing in-market operations for Carmigo’s growing dealer-to-dealer network.

“It’s hard to imagine Carmigo without Chris,” said Andrew Warmath, CEO and Co-Founder of Carmigo. “I asked him to join the company when there was no promise of a future. Since then, we’ve thrown a lot of changes at him, and he’s handled each one with precision and candor.”

Michael’s newest set of responsibilities come following the launch of its wholesale platform – Carmigo Turn. Carmigo has more than tripled its salesforce in the first quarter of 2024, and alongside this growth comes a need for operational support in markets across the south.

“We’re seeing a growing need for inspector and post-sale efficiency as our network grows and our sales increase,” said Michael. “It’s all about perspective. Our dealers demand a level of service and support on par with our national competitors, and we must meet those needs in order to stay competitive.”

Michael will be focusing on rapidly growing the Carmigo Inspection Team as they eye expansion across the southeast throughout 2024.

Tharp left his role as General Sales Manager for America’s Auto Auction – Baton Rouge to join Carmigo, and has also served as a general sales manager and used car director at the dealership level.

“Carmigo is in a prime position to help dealerships’ evolving inventory management needs,” said Tharp. “Carmigo’s wholesale platform brings a lot to the table, especially as the market is challenging used car managers like never before. After I got to know the team, I knew I could play a role in serving and growing their dealership network.”

Tharp has joined Carmigo immediately following the launch of its wholesale platform – Carmigo Turn. He will be working alongside the company’s product and marketing teams to bring the platform to new dealerships across the southeast, and use their feedback to shape its future offerings.

“John has joined our team at the perfect time,” said Andrew Warmath, CEO and Co-Founder of Carmigo. “We’ve already seen how Turn can help dealerships protect their profits and navigate a never-before-seen used car market. John is going to help us bring that to more dealers and serve the buying and selling needs of those in our network.”

John will also be focusing on rapidly growing the Carmigo Sales Team as they eye expansion across the southeast throughout 2024. Carmigo has already tripled its salesforce in the first two months of the year, and they anticipate even more growth in the months that remain.
