Carhuna introduces a world of safe and secure car sales
THE ONLINE CAR SALES marketplace is booming, giving the car-buying public a wide array of options to buy and sell cars. The way people buy cars today is vastly different from what it was a decade ago, and with Carhuna, a community built around dealers, there’s a new, safe way to buy – either via a traditional listing, an auction, or Carhuna’s innovative Power Sell feature.
With a focus on dealers, through Carhuna buyers get the security that comes with buying from a bricks-and-mortar outfit, though from the comfort of their own homes. Warranties, service history, and all the confidence you get from respected dealers are all built into the Carhuna community.
What does Carhuna do differently? Carhuna empowers dealers, and focuses on giving the trade the tools it needs to put their stock in front of as wide an audience as possible, while providing an easy-to-use service for private users. While the platform may be new, it has already partnered with known, respected dealers such as Alexander’s Prestige, DK Engineering, Duncan Hamilton Rofgo, Joe Macari, Redline, Sasso Automotive, SuperVettura, VVS and more.
On Carhuna, the trade’s valuable position in the car selling and buying journey is put up front, and presents its stock to as wide an audience as possible, providing a simple, transparent and safe platform for both sides to use. It’s not just for dealers: don’t worry, anyone can use it.
Andrew Hall, Carhuna co-founder, explains the dealer-led approach: ‘The dealers on Carhuna are some of the best in the world. Giving them space to run their own auctions and communicate directly with customers in one place makes perfect sense.’
The online sales space has some challenges, and Carhuna addresses them. Partnering with respected dealers opens the market up to a greater variety of cars, while the platform’s quick turnaround times mean dealers can buy and sell cars with greater ease – giving them time back that’dusuallybespentsearchingforconsignments.
Thanks to an intuitive interface, uploading cars isn’t a chore – it’s quick and easy. With Carhuna’s detailed listings, buyers can be confident that the car they’re looking at is exactly what it’s supposed to be – there are no hidden surprises. When it comes time to sell, bidders are vetted, which means sellers are in direct contact with the bidder for the transaction, preventing delays to payments. Once money’s changed hands, the car will be fully prepared by the deal
