THE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, AT THE END OF FRIDAY, JULY 27, 2012, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED OR EARLIER TERMINATED BY THE COMPANY.

The undersigned acknowledges receipt of this Letter of Transmittal (this “Letter of Transmittal”) and the Prospectus, dated                     , 2012 (the “Prospectus” and together with this Letter of Transmittal, as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Offer Documents”), constituting an offer (the “Exchange Offer”) by Sonic Automotive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to purchase all outstanding Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer Documents. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, holders of Notes who validly tender and do not properly withdraw their Notes prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the Expiration Date, will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of such Notes accepted for exchange, Offer Consideration with a value equal to (i) $495 plus (ii) the Average VWAP (as defined in the Prospectus) multiplied by 60.5274. The Offer Consideration will be paid by (i) a fixed cash payment of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer and (ii) a number of shares of our Class A common stock equal to the quotient of total value of the Offer Consideration less the fixed cash payment, divided by the Average VWAP. As discussed below, cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares. In no event will the total value of the Offer Consideration paid in the Exchange Offer be less than $1,000 or more than $1,631 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer.

Holders whose Notes are accepted for exchange will also be entitled to receive a cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but excluding, the settlement date. We will not issue fractional shares of our Class A common stock in the Exchange Offer. Instead, we will pay cash for all fractional shares on the settlement date based upon the Average VWAP. All amounts payable pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be rounded to the nearest cent. For further information regarding the calculation of the purchase price and for calculations of illustrative purchase prices, see “The Exchange Offer—Principal Amount of Notes; Price” in the Prospectus.

All questions as to the form of all documents and the validity (including time of receipt) and acceptance of all tenders and withdrawals of tenders of Notes will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The Company’s determination will be final and binding. Alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will not be considered valid. The Company and the Exchange Agent reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders or withdrawals of Notes that are not in proper form or the acceptance of which would, in the Company’s judgment or in the judgment of the Exchange Agent or its counsel, be unlawful. The Company and the Exchange Agent also reserve the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender or withdrawal as to particular Notes either before or after the Expiration Date (including the right to waive the ineligibility of any security holder who seeks to tender Notes in the Exchange Offer). A waiver of any defect or irregularity with respect to the tender or withdrawal of any Note shall not constitute a waiver of the same or any other defect or irregularity with respect to the tender or withdrawal of any other Notes except to the extent the Company may otherwise so provide. The Company will interpret the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer and the Company’s determination will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Notes for exchange must be cured within the period of time the Company determines. Tenders of Notes shall not be deemed to have been made until all defects or irregularities have been waived by the Company or cured. None of the Company, its management, its board of directors, the Dealer Managers, the Exchange Agent, the Information Agent or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in any tender or withdrawal of Notes, or will incur any liability to any holder for failure to give any such notification.

All tendering holders, by execution of a Letter of Transmittal or this Voluntary Offering Instructions form or a facsimile thereof or hereof, or delivery of an Agent’s Message through ATOP, waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance for purchase of their Notes.

NONE OF THE COMPANY, ITS MANAGEMENT OR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE DEALER MANAGERS, THE EXCHANGE AGENT OR THE INFORMATION AGENT MAKES ANY RECOMMENDATION TO ANY HOLDER OF NOTES AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER ANY NOTES OR REFRAIN FROM TENDERING NOTES IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER. NONE OF THE COMPANY, ITS MANAGEMENT OR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE DEALER MANAGERS, THE EXCHANGE AGENT OR THE INFORMATION AGENT HAS AUTHORIZED ANY PERSON TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXCHANGE OFFER OTHER THAN THE INFORMATION AND REPRESENTATIONS CONTAINED IN THE PROSPECTUS OR IN THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.
