Autorola introduces ‘guaranteed takeover’
Autorola is offering dealers a “guaranteed and correct” purchase price on the trade-in of a potential buyer’s vehicle – and this within 30 minutes.
The online remarketing specialist is able to make this offer - for now available in Belgium only - thanks to INDICATA, its in-house software programme that analyses real-time data from European used-car markets. Combining this analysis with its own remarketing expertise allows Autorola to offer dealers a quick, guaranteed bid on acquiring the vehicle of a potential used-car buyer.
The offer is Autorola’s response to the market need for a ‘deal closer’ for used-car sellers. Crucial for closing a deal is the dealer’s ability to offer a near-immediate bid for trade-in, within the first showroom visit. This is especially urgent as the average number of showroom visits has reduced from 4.5 times in 2008 to 1.3 visits in 2019 – increasing the challenge for dealers to get a signed order in the showroom. The ‘guaranteed 30-minute takeover bid’ provides a correct valuation, thus increasing the chance of sales success.
