Volkswagen Financial Services recently backed the UK launch of Heycar, an online marketplace for the used car market.
It launched in August with an inventory of more than 100,000 listed vehicles from over 50 automotive brands at 1,400 dealerships.
Every vehicle listed on the platform comes with a warranty, has less than 100,000 miles on the clock and is less than eight years old.
Mat Moakes, chief executive of Heycar said: “The UK car industry is worth £50bn, yet it works inefficiently for consumers and dealers. Buying a used car can be like a lottery, you don’t know what you’ll get. Existing websites are often cluttered with ads, eroding consumer trust. Dealers are burdened with rising fees for listing used cars online, which squeezes their margins without a guarantee of leads or sales being generated.”
He said Heycar solves these “pain points” with a simpler, more effective solution for used car buyers and dealers.
