Disrupting Australia’s $55 billion used car market?

Calling itself the Australian used car market disruptor, CARS24 launched its online marketplace on September 1.

It has established physical operations in Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales and has plans to operate in eastern and southern states by the end of 2021. CARS24 says its unique selling point is that it owns every car that it sells, unlike existing online marketplaces that facilitate buying through a dealer or between private sellers. It says this ensures quality control from sourcing through to delivery and warranty. CARS24 says it offers Australians an online used car buying experience – from the comfort of their own home, purchase in under five minutes with the vehicle delivered direct to their door. It offers a 300 point inspection to ensure car quality. It involves technicians checking and testing every aspect of the car – and refurbishing, reconditioning and removing major imperfections before it’s delivered to the customer. It offers seven-day returns with 100 per cent money-back guarantee. Every car also comes with a six-month unlimited warranty and free at-home delivery – making it as easy and convenient as any other online purchase. The former UberEats ANZ head of consumer strategy and operations Olga Rudenko is leading the CARS24 launch in Australia as its chief executive.
