In the past, vehicle manufacturers and dealers have preferred to omit used automobiles from their operations, believing that the focus of dealers’ sales efforts should be on new cars, which have higher price tags and are targeted at richer consumers. Aiming to push new automobile inventories to the market with suitable incentives has been a goal of dealers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Dealers’ bottom lines, on the other hand, have benefited more from the sale of used vehicles than from sales of higher-status new cars. As used automobile quality and dependability have improved, a loyal client base has been created. Because of this, automakers began to recognise the importance of used vehicle management in increasing residual values, new car sales, and manufacturing.
The used car market is most active in the European Union Nations, France, and the UK. In these markets, the used car business generates considerable economic income. In contrast, the used car market is weaker in Canada, Japan, and Spain. In Europe dealers have experienced high rates of consolidation, largely due to the Block Exemption legislation, which came into effect in 2002.

The European used car market generated total revenues of $268.3 billion in 2007 with a generation of total sales volume of 16.3 million units, equivalent to 56.8% of the market’s overall volume. But in the recent year, there has been a blockade placed upon the Manufacturer dealer networks in both Europe and North America have experienced consolidation in recent years, a process that has been historically characteristic of the automotive industry and is likely to continue.

The urban customers would have better saviourism towards the OEM affiliated branded dealerships. The internet portals did not have a visible share. It looks like the customers looked to the information on the internet but concluded the transaction at a physical dealership. It must also be said that the identification of a customer who transacted in a conventional dealership as opposed to a web portal is relatively lower when integrated directly into a non-branded platform dealership. It is, therefore, likely that there is a certain amount of bias away from the buyers on the internet.
Used automobile purchasers are increasingly turning to the Internet as a source of information. Consumers still utilise local media and word-of-mouth to investigate used car purchases, but they are increasingly turning to the Internet, underscoring the necessity of having a solid Internet strategy for used vehicle programmes in general.
