With increasing interest rates, more people are trying to obtain the greatest value from their cars by turning to used cars. “When selling a used car through a dealer, consumers are offered up to 30 percent less than book value, which is motivation enough to try and sell privately,” says Gassner.
“The media has highlighted a number of cases where consumers have been hijacked, or victims of fraudulent cheques or deposits when trying to sell their cars privately. And even buyers of used cars are exposed to risks from all sides, be it buying a stolen car, or getting saddled with a faulty vehicle.” AA Autobay, an online portal, facilitates the buying and selling of used cars and provides a safe, risk-free platform for consumers.
“The AA Autobay process of buying used cars and selling used cars has been designed specifically to combat these risks. Both buyers and sellers are assured of their safety and receiving the best, most beneficial deal,” says Gassner.
