Cazoo / Cinch etc., 11:15 - Aug 27 with 1902 viewsZx1988

Is there a reason for the sudden proliferation of national second-hand car dealers? It just seems strange that these two in particular have suddenly popped up out of nowhere and are desperate to get as much exposure as possible.

I've got a hunch that they're likely to be more concerned with selling finance to people, and that selling second-hand cars is just the most profitable mechanism of achieving this?

2nd hand car market is really strong at the moment, partly due to the difficulties getting new cars, so in a way, it makes sense that people are trying to jump into that market.

Its a market that scares a lot of people, so the value of a national brand, with the "security" of servicing and warranty plans, will appeal to a lot of people.

Probably just a combination of it being a buoyant market and that people are more open to buying this type of thing online/from home these days.

It is the online version of the car supermarket type dealerships, the big advantage they have is that they have the best price advertised for the vehicle. No haggling, like it for the price you buy it, if not look elsewhere. Whereas a garage forecourt will charge you a higher price if you are not a good negotiator, even if you are you never know for sure if you have overpaid. That is a big plus for many people, knowing a car is already priced at it's lowest.

I think they may be reactions to each other to at least some degree. Cazoo is a completely new entrant to the market whereas Cinch is owned by British Car Auctions. Cazoo came first which may mean Cinch is an attempt by BCA to defend their market position.

Just like everything else, it's the way things are going. More and more people are willing to buy even vehicles online. I work for another new Online vehicle selling platform. yesauto.co.uk have a look if you're in the market for a car.

Just bought my SUV from a main dealership. No more expensive. Personally I’d buy from a dealership, at least they having specialist knowledge in the make. Rather than Cazoo or Cinch knocking out ex rental vehicles that have been thrashed, uncared for and got battle damage with limited knowledge of each particular make. Just my personal thoughts FWIW.

The finance they offer is extortionate, so they will be making a killing on that. The used car market is pretty bad all round to be fair, as is the leasing market. My lease ends July 22 and just hope it settles down by then as the deals are far worse than the one i got three years ago.

BCA also own webuyanycar, so they're getting both sides covered.

It was an idea waiting to happen.

Buying new or nearly new cars should be easier than it is and hopefully these new companies will facilitate that.

Thousands of second hand motors knocking around as all the middle aged women have traded theirs in to get range rovers on PCP. It's the horrific effects of TOWIE.

I’ve just purchased a new car and to be fair the dealers actually gave me a better price than any of these websites, on average they were offering almost 3k less across the boardDon’t loose faith in your local showroom or dealer.

Or maybe they just like the car and it suits their needs?

No haggling! That sounds dodgy...
