You must sign this Letter of Transmittal where indicated below.  Please read the instructions set forth below carefully before completing this Letter of Transmittal.

The undersigned acknowledges that he or she has received the prospectus, dated                       , 2013 (the “Prospectus”), of Penske Automotive Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and this Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which together constitute the Company’s offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange an aggregate principal amount of up to $550,000,000 of the registered 5.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 (the “Exchange Notes”) of the Company for a like principal amount of the Company’s outstanding unregistered 5.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 (the “Old Notes”). Both the Old Notes and the Exchange Notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings given to them in the Prospectus. Where the context requires, references herein to the Exchange Notes and the Old Notes shall be deemed to include references to the associated guarantee (the terms of which are described in the Prospectus).

For each of the Old Notes accepted for exchange, the holder of such Old Notes will receive a new Exchange Note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered Old Note.  The terms of the Exchange Notes are substantially identical to the terms of the Old Notes, except that the transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions relating to the Old Notes will not apply to the Exchange Notes.

The Company reserves the right, at any time or from time to time, to extend the Exchange Offer at its discretion, in which event the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the latest time and date to which the Exchange Offer is extended. The Company will notify the registered holders of the Old Notes of any extension promptly by oral or written notice thereof.

This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by a holder of the Old Notes either if certificates are to be forwarded herewith or if a tender of the Old Notes is to be made by book-entry transfer to the account maintained by The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Exchange Agent”) at The Depository Trust Company (the “Book-Entry Transfer Facility” or “DTC”) pursuant to the procedures set forth in the “Exchange Offer” section of the Prospectus. Holders of the Old Notes whose certificates are not immediately available, or who are unable to deliver their certificates or confirmation of the book-entry tender of their Old Notes into the Exchange Agent’s account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility (a “Book-Entry Confirmation”) and all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date, must tender their Old Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the “Exchange Offer — Guaranteed Delivery Procedures” section of the Prospectus and Instruction 1 herein. Delivery of documents to the Book-Entry Transfer Facility does not constitute delivery to the Exchange Agent.

The undersigned has completed the appropriate boxes below and signed this Letter of Transmittal to indicate the action the undersigned desires to take with respect to the Exchange Offer.

List below the Old Notes to which this Letter of Transmittal relates. If the space provided below is inadequate, the numbers and principal amount of the Old Notes should be listed on a separate signed schedule affixed hereto.

PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Company the aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes indicated above. Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for exchange of each of the Old Notes tendered hereby, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Company all right, title and interest in and to such Old Notes as are being tendered hereby.  The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned (with full knowledge that the Exchange Agent also acts as the agent of the Company) with respect to such Old Notes, with full powers of substitution and revocation (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest) to (i) present such Old Notes and all evidences of transfer and authenticity to, or transfer ownership of, such Old Notes on the account books maintained by DTC to, or upon the order of, the Company, (ii) present such Old Notes for transfer of ownership on the books of the Company, and (iii) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Old Notes, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer as described in the Prospectus.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Old Notes tendered hereby and that the Company will acquire good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all liens, charges, claims, encumbrances, adverse claims and restrictions of any kind. The undersigned hereby further represents that (i) any Exchange Notes acquired in exchange for Old Notes tendered hereby will have been acquired in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving such Exchange Notes, whether or not such person is the undersigned, (ii) neither the holder of such Old Notes nor any such other person has an arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in the distribution, within the meaning of the federal securities laws, of the Exchange Notes in violation of the federal securities laws, (iii) neither the holder of such Old Notes nor any such other person is an affiliate, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of the Company or any Guarantor and (iv) the undersigned is not acting on behalf of any person or entity who could not truthfully make the statements set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above.

The undersigned also acknowledges that this Exchange Offer is being made by the Company based upon the Company’s understanding of an interpretation by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, that the Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than any such holder that is an affiliate of the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act), without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders’ business, and such holders are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of such Exchange Notes and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such Exchange Notes. However, the staff of the SEC has not considered this Exchange Offer in the context of a no-action letter, and there can be no assurance that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to this Exchange Offer as in other circumstances. If a holder of Old Notes is an affiliate of the Company or any Guarantor, or is engaged in or intends to engage in a distribution of the Exchange Notes or has any arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of the Exchange Notes to be acquired pursuant to the Exchange Offer, such holder could not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary resale transaction. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes, it represents that the Old Notes to be exchanged for the Exchange Notes were acquired by it for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledges that it will deliver a Prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes; however, by so acknowledging that it will deliver, and by delivering, a Prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act.

The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Old Notes tendered hereby. All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal and every obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. This tender may be withdrawn only in accordance with the procedures set forth in the “Exchange Offer — Withdrawal of Tenders” section of the Prospectus.

Unless otherwise indicated herein in the box entitled Special Issuance Instructions below, please deliver the Exchange Notes in the name of the undersigned or, in the case of a book-entry delivery of Old Notes, please credit the account indicated above maintained at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility. Similarly, unless otherwise indicated under the box entitled Special

INSTRUCTIONS

Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of
the Exchange Offer

1.Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal and Old Notes; Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.

This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by holders of Old Notes either if certificates are to be forwarded herewith or if tenders are to be made pursuant to the procedures for delivery by book-entry transfer set forth in the “Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering” and “Exchange Offer — DTC Book-Entry Transfer” sections of the Prospectus. Certificates for all physically tendered Old Notes, or Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case may be, as well as a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof) and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Exchange Agent at the address set forth herein on or prior to the Expiration Date, or the tendering holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth below. Old Notes tendered hereby must be in integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount.

Holders of Old Notes whose certificates for Old Notes are not immediately available or who cannot deliver their certificates and all other required documents to the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date, or who cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer on a timely basis, may tender their Old Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the “Exchange Offer — Guaranteed Delivery Procedures” section of the Prospectus. Pursuant to such procedures, (i) such tender must be made through an Eligible Institution (as defined below), (ii) prior to the Expiration Date, the Exchange Agent must receive from such Eligible Institution a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form provided by the Company (by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery), setting forth the name and address of the holder of Old Notes, the certificate number or numbers of such Old Notes and the principal amount of Old Notes tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the Expiration Date, the Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), together with the certificate or certificates representing the Old Notes to be tendered in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal will be deposited by the Eligible Institution (as defined below) with the Exchange Agent, and (iii) such properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), as well as the certificate or certificates representing all tendered Old Notes in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, and all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal are received by the Exchange Agent within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the Expiration Date.

The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, the Old Notes and all other required documents is at the election and risk of the tendering holders. All questions as to the validity, form, acceptance, withdrawal and eligibility, including time of receipt of tendered Old Notes, will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any and all Old Notes not properly tendered, to reject any Old Notes if acceptance of them would, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, be unlawful and to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Old notes. Instead of delivery by mail, it is recommended that holders use an overnight or hand delivery service. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure delivery to the Exchange Agent before the Expiration Date. No Letter of Transmittal or Old Notes should be sent to the Company. Holders may request their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or nominees to effect the tenders for such holders.

See the “Exchange Offer” section of the Prospectus.

2.Partial Tenders (not applicable to holders of Old Notes who tender by book-entry transfer); Withdrawals.

If less than all of the Old Notes evidenced by a submitted certificate are to be tendered, the tendering holder(s) should fill in the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes to be tendered in the applicable box or boxes above entitled “Description of Old Notes — Principal Amount of Old Notes Tendered,” as the case may be. A newly reissued certificate for the Old Notes submitted but not tendered will be sent to such holder promptly after the Expiration Date. All of the Old Notes delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise clearly indicated.  If not yet accepted, a tender pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date. To be effective with respect to the tender of Old Notes, a notice of withdrawal must: (i) be received by the Exchange Agent before the Company notifies the Exchange Agent that it has accepted the tender of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer; (ii) specify the name of the person having tendered the Old Notes to be withdrawn; (iii) contain a description of the Old Notes to be withdrawn, the certificate numbers shown on the particular certificates evidencing such Old Notes and the principal amount of Old Notes represented by such certificates; and

9

(iv) be signed by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on this Letter of Transmittal (including any required signature guarantee). The Exchange Agent will return the properly withdrawn Old Notes promptly following receipt of the notice of withdrawal. If Old Notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to be credited with the withdrawn Old Notes or otherwise comply with the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s procedures. All questions as to the validity of any notice of withdrawal, including time of receipt, will be determined by the Company, and such determination will be final and binding on all parties.

3.Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal; Bond Powers and Endorsements; Guarantee of Signatures.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder of the Old Notes tendered hereby, the signature must correspond exactly with the name as written on the face of the certificates without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a participant in DTC, the signature must correspond with the name as it appears on the security position listing as the holder of the Old Notes.

If any tendered Old Notes are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

If any tendered Old Notes are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate copies of this Letter of Transmittal as there are different registrations of certificates.

When this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder (which term, for the purposes described herein, shall include the Book-Entry Transfer Facility whose name appears on a security listing as the owner of the Old Notes) of the Old Notes specified herein and tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate bond powers are required. If, however, the Exchange Notes are to be issued to a person other than the registered holder, then endorsements of any certificates transmitted hereby or separate bond powers are required. Signatures on such certificates or bond powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (as defined below).

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder or holders of any Old Notes specified herein, then certificate(s) representing such Old Notes must be endorsed by such registered holder(s) or accompanied by a properly completed bond power signed by the registered holder, as the registered holder’s name appears on the Old Notes, and an Eligible Institution must guarantee the signature on the bond power. If the Letter of Transmittal or any certificates of Old Notes or separate written instruments of transfer or exchange are signed or endorsed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and unless waived by the Company, evidence satisfactory to the Company of their authority to so act must be submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.

Signature(s) on a Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution unless the Old Notes tendered pursuant thereto are tendered (i) by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled Special Issuance Instructions or Special Delivery Instructions on this Letter of Transmittal or (ii) for the account of an Eligible Institution. In the event that signatures on a Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, are required to be guaranteed, such guarantee must be by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or another eligible guarantor institution within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (an “Eligible Institution”).

4.Special Issuance and Delivery Instructions.

Tendering holders of Old Notes should indicate in the applicable box the name and address to which Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer are to be issued or sent, if different from the name or address of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal. In the case of issuance in a different name, the employer identification or social security number of the person so named must also be indicated. Holders tendering Old Notes by book-entry transfer may request that Old Notes not exchanged be credited to such account maintained at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility as such holder may designate hereon. If no such instructions are given, such Old Notes not exchanged will be returned to the name or address of the person signing this

10

Letter of Transmittal or credited to the account listed beneath the box entitled Description of Old Notes.

5.Tax Identification Number.

To prevent backup withholding on any payments that are made to a holder with respect to the Exchange Notes, the holder is required to provide the Company (as payor) or other payor with such holder’s correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on Substitute Form W-9 below or otherwise establish a basis for exemption. If such holder is an individual, the TIN is his or her social security number. If the payor is not provided with the current TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, such tendering holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, and all payments that are made to such holder may be subject to backup withholding. For further information concerning backup withholding and instructions for completing the Substitute Form W-9 (including how to obtain a TIN if you do not have one and how to complete the Substitute Form W-9 if the Old Notes are held in more than one name), consult the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute W-9 (the “W-9 Guidelines”) attached hereto.

Certain holders (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. See the enclosed W-9 Guidelines for additional instructions.

To prevent backup withholding on reportable payments of principal and interest, including any additional interest, by the Company (when acting as payor), each tendering holder of Old Notes must provide its correct TIN by completing the Substitute Form W-9 set forth below, certifying that the TIN provided is correct (or that such holder is awaiting a TIN) and that (i) the holder is exempt from backup withholding, (ii) the holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that such holder is subject to a backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends or (iii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the holder that such holder is no longer subject to backup withholding. If the tendering holder of Old Notes is a nonresident alien or foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, such holder must give the Company a completed Form W-8BEN Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding, or other appropriate Form W-8. These forms may be obtained from the Exchange Agent. If the Old Notes are in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, such holder should consult the W-9 Guidelines for information on which TIN to report. If such holder does not have a TIN, such holder should consult the W-9 Guidelines for instructions on applying for a TIN, check the box in Part 2 of the Substitute Form W-9 and write “applied for” in lieu of its TIN. Note: checking this box and writing “applied for” on the form means that such holder has already applied for a TIN or that such holder intends to apply for one in the near future. If a holder checks the box in Part 2 of the Substitute Form W-9 and writes “applied for” on that form, backup withholding, currently at a rate of 28%, will nevertheless apply to all reportable payments made to such holder if such holder does not provide a TIN by the time of payment. If such a holder furnishes its TIN to the Company within 60 calendar days, however, any amounts so withheld shall be refunded to such holder.

Backup withholding is not an additional U.S. federal income tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service.

6.Transfer Taxes.

Holders who tender their Old Notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection therewith. If, however, Exchange Notes are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of the Old Notes tendered hereby, or if tendered Old Notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Old Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer, the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted herewith, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.

Except as provided in this Instruction 6, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the Old Notes specified in this Letter of Transmittal.

11

7.Waiver of Conditions.

The Company reserves the right to waive satisfaction of any or all conditions enumerated in the Prospectus.

8.No Conditional Tenders.

No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering holders of Old Notes, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal, shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of their Old Notes for exchange.

Neither the Company, the Exchange Agent nor any other person is obligated to give notice of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of Old Notes nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.

9.Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Old Notes.

Any holder whose Old Notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed should contact the Exchange Agent at the address indicated above for further instructions.

10.Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies.

Questions relating to the procedure for tendering, as well as requests for additional copies of the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal, may be directed to the Exchange Agent, at the address and telephone number indicated above.

11.Incorporation of Letter of Transmittal.

This Letter of Transmittal shall be deemed to be incorporated in and acknowledged and accepted by any tender through the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s ATOP procedures by any participant on behalf of itself and the beneficial owners of any Old Notes so tendered.

IMPORTANT: This Letter of Transmittal (or a facsimile hereof), together with certificates representing the Old Notes and all other required documents or the notice of guaranteed delivery, must be received by the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date.

Privacy Act Notice. Section 6109 requires you to provide your correct taxpayer identification number to payers who must file information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, and certain other income paid to you to the IRS. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes and to help verify the accuracy of your return and may also provide this information to various government agencies for tax enforcement or litigation purposes and to cities, states, and the District of Columbia to carry out their tax laws, and may also disclose this information to other countries under a tax treaty, or to Federal and state agencies to enforce Federal nontax criminal laws and to combat terrorism. Payers must be given the numbers whether or not recipients are required to file tax returns. Payers must generally withhold 28% of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not furnish a taxpayer identification number to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.
