Because the used automobile industry has a bigger number of organised competitors, many dealers have turned their attention to delivering value-added services in order to withstand the growing competition.

 

Numerous multi-brand dealerships have begun to provide extra services also including extended warranties, insurance, after-sales solutions, documentation support, and so on, in order to become a "one-stop" location for used vehicle purchasers.

 

 

SOUTH KOREA USED CAR MARKET NEW TREND

 

Despite criticism from established secondhand car sellers, Hyundai Motor is planning to enter the used automobile industry. Hyundai stated that it will exclusively deal with certified, performance-inspected, and fully repaired used automobiles, emphasising that its entry will increase consumer confidence in used cars and expand the industry.

 

Within a few years, the company intends to use its manufacturing experience to conduct quality assessments on automobiles with odometers. Used car dealers have a monopoly on information such as vehicle mileage and condition, resulting in an informational imbalance between sellers and buyers.

 

To address this issue, Hyundai Motor wants to develop a used car integrated information portal that will collect and analyse data on used automobiles and present it to the public in a comprehensive manner.  Services such as integrated information on the performance and condition of used cars, fair price estimates, and vehicle screening will be supplied through the platform.

 

Consumers will also be given with information such as the used car value index, actual transaction statistics, market price trends by model, and sales rankings in order to gain a better understanding of the used car market condition.

 

SOUTH KOREA USED CAR MARKET DYNAMICS

 

Hyundai Motor Co., the leading carmaker in South Korea, has entered the nation's used car market, which has traditionally barred large corporations from entering in order to safeguard smaller used car dealers.

 

Should the plan be successful, it would be the first time a Korean automaker connected to a major corporation has entered the local used car market.For a maximum of five years, Hyundai intends to sell only excellent certified pre-owned vehicles with fewer than 100,000 kilometres on their record.

 

Prior to being offered for sale, these vehicles will also pass 200 stringent quality tests, according to the manufacturer.The business also intends to develop a used car information website where consumers can get information on flood damage, accident records, and vehicle performance.

 

The second-biggest carmaker in South Korea, Kia Corp., intends to market reconditioned used cars that it produces. The business declared that it will begin offering both combustion engines and reconditioned used Kia cars for sale.

 

Particularly, Kia is emphasising the repair of its old electric vehicle models. The corporation has developed a five-tier grading system as part of the programme to assess the quality of used EV cars.

 

According to the manufacturer, the combined travel distance that an electric vehicle (EV) can cover on a single battery charge and the battery rating of each model will decide the overall grade of each model.

 

Under five years old, with less than 100,000 kilometres driven, and without a history of accidents, are the vehicles that are up for sale. Yongin, which is 42 km south of Seoul, is home to Kia's dedicated centre for testing and upgrading used cars. With 5,000 certified pre-owned models to sale within the year, Hyundai Motor made the news on Tuesday as it started selling reconditioned used cars made by the business and its luxury brand, Genesis.
