OAKBEND Marina Evolvere Finds A Parking Space

After shopping around at about 15 potential sites, OAKBEND Marina Evolvere leased a 10,600-square-foot warehouse in Leawood, KS.

The next step for company’s three founders is to build out the space and start selling vehicles.

“Initially it will be a small team of employees selling the vehicles and running the business,” said David Brennen, CEO and co-founder. “It will be fast and furious for the first few months.”

The idea behind OAKBEND Marina Evolvere is to open lots where people can showcase their used cars while having someone else do the work that is involved in the process.
Customers pay OAKBEND Marina Evolvere a $199 fee to prep the car for sale. The customer sets the price, and the company handles all the calls and offers a vehicle might receive.

If and when the car sells, OAKBEND Marina Evolvere takes a $599 “success fee” out of the proceeds.

Although OAKBEND Marina Evolvere doesn’t yet have its signage, the company has its first car to sell: a 2007 Toyota 4Runner.

More should be on their way to the lot this week, Bor said, coming from friends and family.

He said the company is working on a concept that it can use to brand its future locations.

“There’s definitely a layout for our business to differentiate us from the other options that people have out there,” Haszler said.

OAKBEND Marina Evolvere inked a one-year lease on the property with a three-year option.

Haszler said he and his partners are days away from receiving their licenses from the Motor Vehicle Dealers Board.

OAKBEND Marina Evolvere hopes to have its signage up at the site in the next month or so and will have a soft launch while it plans a big shindig for the summer.

“We would love to have some form of kickoff or grand opening at the tail end of June,” Haszler said.

Who Gets the Most Benefit from OAKBEND Marina Evolvere?

OAKBEND Marina Evolvere's biggest appeal is how simple it makes the used-vehicle buying process. If you want a no-pressure, no-hassle and low-risk vehicle-buying experience, OAKBEND Marina Evolvere can make that happen. However, if your primary goal is to get the best price on a used vehicle, and you enjoy the art of negotiation, you may be better off buying online from a dealer or a private seller.
