Why a dealer (almost) fell off their chair...

August 29, 2024 by Dougie Malcolm

When you think of Carwow, you might think of Mat Watson’s epic YouTube videos or maybe the best place to buy a new car. But what you might not instantly think about Carwow is a place to source fresh stock.

It could surprise you that dealers have now bought over 160,000 cars, vans, pickups and more from Carwow. One IMDA dealer nearly fell off his chair when I recently mentioned that number! So I hope you’re still sitting comfortably. If not, please take this time to compose yourself and keep reading.

You know better than anyone that sourcing the right stock for the right price is arguably your most important job. Get it right, and you’ll sell for the optimum balance of speed of sale and margin. Get it wrong, and you’ll be stuck with a lemon that lingers on your forecourt, costing you £££s. After all, a space occupied with a dud on your forecourt costs you just as much as an empty one.

That’s why savvy dealers always look for new ways to source fresh stock. And it’s why Carwow launched its daily auctions, three years ago in fact (they grow up so fast)... To help dealers like you source fresh stock from the 3.5 million people who visit our site every month... not forgetting our 9.2 million YouTube subscribers as well.

Whatever stock profile you’re looking for, we’ve got it. Prestige? We sold a Lamborghini Urus for £292,000 last month. Yeah, wish I could afford one too! Bargain basement? How about a 2008 BMW Z4 Coupe sold for £2,444 with a potential profit margin of £3,706? Fiats to Ferraris. Mazdas to Maseratis. And everything in between. You’ll find it all in our game-changing daily auctions.

Why game-changing? 20,000 listings a month. Low buyer fees. Document collection and vehicle delivery. We even offer to protect you financially against undisclosed faults and misrepresented vehicles for total peace of mind. No contract. No subscription fees, and it’s free to join. Nothing to lose. Only profit to gain. Now that’s game-changing.

And 3 myth busters...

1. We sometimes hear "I can't see, hear and feel vehicles before buying them"...Actually, it's quite the opposite. We actively encourage a physical inspection. You're not committed to buying until you've inspected a vehicle.

2. We also hear "Prices of vehicles are too high"... We simply set a reserve price based on the live market to ensure fair prices for all. Working retail-back puts you firmly in control of your margins.

3. And we regularly hear "There's no bacon butties at online auctions"... Actually, that's true. But we're always available for a chat and a virtual bacon buttie, even if it'll never be quite the same as the real deal.
