Used Cars and Remarketing

Expand your sales territory to all of Europe – without risk.

Cross-border remarketing is only just beginning. Working with internationally active remarketing companies such as AutoProff, BCA or OPENLANE, you connect your regional used-car business with all European markets and take advantage of differences in demand and price, both when selling and when buying.

    good reasons to take your used-car business international

End customers are your dealership’s most valuable asset. That is why your full attention belongs to their trust, their enthusiasm, their long-term loyalty and their recommendations.

Used-car dealers from your region are clearly your competitors, including in the important after-sales business. They often disrupt conversations and sales opportunities with your end customers.

Their proximity to your salespeople and sales managers is also unacceptable for compliance reasons. Do not lead your employees into temptation.

Vehicles that you do not sell to end customers in your market area find the right buyer across Europe via international platforms, compliance-safe and at good market prices.

Why go international

Five good reasons for auction platforms across Europe

Expanded customer potential

Across all European markets, you reach a far larger number of buyers. You expand your sales market and maximize your sales opportunities.

A greater variety of buyers

Auction platforms and international traders address buyers from many countries directly, without detours via online car marketplaces, including for sought-after models and specifications.

A competitive environment

In the alliance of AutoScout24 with AutoProff, BCA, Auktion & Markt or OPENLANE, you make your vehicles stand out with price, condition and dealer warranty.

An efficient sales model

Vehicles sell quickly. This increases revenue and reduces inventory.

A first step abroad

With your trade-ins, you gain experience in cross-border trading and open up new markets for the future.

The right platform for your company

With decades of experience in the used-car business, I help car dealerships, dealer groups and service businesses systematically expand their market area beyond national and brand borders. Local “home-turf” markets are a good basis for regular customers; international markets broaden your opportunities.

Every platform is unique. I examine case by case which remarketing platforms and systems suit your company.

  • Good selling prices through the right marketing concept
  • Fast payment processing and logistics
  • Secure export handling

Fleet consulting

Your fleet: often the second-largest cost block

Alongside personnel costs, fleet expenses are the largest cost block for many companies, and the administrative effort is often not taken into account. As an independent partner, I analyze the total expenditure and structure of your fleet with you and point out real optimizations, for example by outsourcing administration to external service providers.

Together with my network of professionals, I look after your fleet from selection and procurement through to remarketing, including maintenance, repairs and the handling of accident damage.

What potential lies in your vehicle inventory?

In a conversation, we will find out whether cross-border remarketing is a real lever for your dealership.
