Autobörse Deutschland - In search of the dream car

The car market is booming! This is a fact that you as a car dealer can confirm with certainty. According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority, a total of 3.6 million cars were registered in Germany in 2019. Unfortunately, it is not possible to determine how many of them bought their car online at a car exchange. What is certain, however, is that around half of all Germans are prepared to buy a car online.

In a survey conducted by the industry magazine AUTOHAUS, it was also found that around 56% of the leads in the car dealership are acquired via the car exchanges. Reason enough for us to take a close look at the concept of the car exchange. How does a car dealer exchange actually work, which car exchanges are there and which is the best car exchange in Germany? We answer these and other questions in this article.

Die Auto Online Börse - Sell used cars on the Internet

A car exchange is basically a trading platform that brings together buyers in search of their dream car and car dealers. In addition to the car dealer portals of the manufacturers, there are several independent car exchanges in Germany, such as Autoscout24 or Mobile. This is what you need to know about the dealer exchange for cars:

This is how the car exchange concept works

• Car exchange for consumers: As a consumer, you can find cars for sale at a car exchange and put a car up for sale privately (usually free of charge). When buying a car, you have numerous filters at your disposal so that you can choose a car from the exchange from the offer.
• Dealer exchange car for the car dealership: As a car dealer you have the opportunity to present your new and used cars on car exchanges with pictures and technical data and thus generate new leads or even sales online.

How to benefit from a car exchange

For a long time there was a discussion in the automotive industry about whether the "Auto Börse" model would challenge the traditional business model of car trading. In fact, however, it combines numerous advantages and is therefore a valuable addition for every car dealership:

• Car exchange as a digital showroom: Those who cannot spontaneously drop by your dealership can also find your offer online. With an innovative app such as the picdesigner you can create professional vehicle images inno time at all, even without Photoshop skills.
• Theyalso become visible nationwide: advertising campaigns such as posters usually only reach potential buyers in your region. Online, on the other hand, you will also be visible to buyers who live further away, but who are sure to take the journey for their dream car.
• Make contact online, do business offline: online and dealer information combined are crucial for sales success. With a presence in a car exchange, you are at least one click ahead of the competition.
• Linking vehicle management and online sales: A car exchange is worthwhile if the offer creation process is straightforward. A modern car dealership software, such as the AUTOMANAGER, makes vehicle management easier for you. Smart interfaces update your offer on over fifty car exchanges with just one click!
