AutoNation is launching its transaction website SmartChoice Express in South Florida today that allows consumers to shop for and reserve a vehicle online before picking up their car at the dealership.

After its debut in Florida, the program will be rolled out nationwide in 2015.

According to a video shared by AutoNation, the process involves five steps.

First, the consumer can shop at www.autonation.com. Once the shopper finds the car of choice, he or she punches in basic information and receives an AutoNation SmartChoice price on the car, plus vehicle details, final price and payment options.

The shopper then gets a price certificate on the car, which they can view or print, and have it sent to a smartphone or email address.

Next is reserving the car and setting up an appointment. The consumer puts credit information in through PayPal.  There is an authorization hold on the card. The shopper sets an appointment with the store, and once the store confirms, it takes the car out of its inventory and holds it in a reservation area until the appointment.

The consumer then has 48 hours from reservation time to visit the store, review the paperwork and test drive the car. Once that is final, the car is theirs to take home.
