Gone are the days when people call them 'used cars'; the correctterm is 'pre-owned car'. No one is hesitant to buy a pre-owned car if it suitstheir budget and other requirements and one gets a good bargain. But wherewould one buy or sell such pre-owned cars?
In earlier days, the cars are usually serviced in a local car carecenter. The one who understands about the health of a car is the mechanic, whohandles the car regularly. He also doubles as a broker who can give hints andpointers - how much would the car sell for at any given point in time? who arethe potential buyers? He can bring the sellers and buyers to the table for adiscussion and negotiation.
With people moving to authorized service centers, at least twochannels were possible to sell or buy pre-owned cars. One is the authorizedservice centers opening their own pre-owned car exchanges. The other model isfor a 3rd party to open an exchange to support pre-owned cars from any vendor.While both the models are adopted in the market, the latter has become popularand come online too. Check out these sites for the concept.

The passenger car brands are not far behind. Companies like TataMotors and Mahindra have their own sites - http://tatamotorsassured.com and http://mahindrafirstchoice.com -which offer pre-owned cars purchase online.
Many of these sites also provide information about new cars, prices,reviews, insurance and dealers information.
I guess there are different models again in this domain. Theretailers can directly post theircar-for-sale online in some of the sites. In a few sites, only the dealers arerequired to register and post the vehicles on their behalf. There are siteslike cartradeexchange.com, where the cars are auctioned online.
Even if the car information is posted online for browsing by others,the buyer would need to physically see the vehicle before confirming thepurchase. Obviously, this part of the transaction can only happen offline.
What next after shopping for cars online? How about setting up anonline shop to buy autos, buses or even trucks? I bet those vehicles also wouldbe sold online by 2020 if not earlier !
