Auto trader
The global automotive market is seeing a rise in sales of automotive components and vehicles at a rate of 43% per annum. The reason behind the auto-boom is same as that of what powered the Asian IT Boom - GLOBALIZATION. The growth of IT sectors and the development of manufacturing industries have caused this maturity in the auto market. Countries around the world show a "Welcome home" attitude to all players in the world to set up their production facilities.
With the many big players in like Toyota, Honda, BMW AG, Daimler Chrysler and Audi, the global auto market is all set to see all time new heights. It is a very common matter through out the globe that more and more people find it easy to buy cars, since cars are no more a luxury item like before and moreover there are so many options available in the market that people can easily spot a make that they can afford. But usually, customers find it difficult to find the right trader to get what they are actually in search of. These troubles are no big issues to first time buyers. But those who upgrade too better models find it extremely difficult to dispose their present cars. Buying a new car is one aspect, but spotting the right trader for the used car is an important aspect too.
Finding a trader who values your used car at the right price is a hassle these days, as many traders are money minded hunt-hopers! But indeed, there are traders who will value your car better and successfully convince you by exhibiting their care towards you and your car. It is a global trend these days that many OEMs themselves get into second hand car market. Suzuki was the first carmaker in the world to start a branded second hand car market, by introducing "True-value" car markets. The next to join in the global list were the Honda and Toyota , and others in the south East Asia. Ford was the first car maker that began the second hand car market in USA. Later other manufacturers to tow in used the cars were Daimler Chrysler, and GM. These companies carry on this tradition even today as they are successful in marketing brand new as well as used cars. Ford introduces certain festive offers which is universally well known where anybody can pull in their used car and drive out a brand new model of Ford. Such offers are often tagged with great finance options.
The week-end sale that begins every Sunday in many places around US and Canada is very popular since it allows people to lay their hands on those cars that they always dreamt of owning once in their life time, at throw away prices. The cars sold here are in mint condition, and are easily available with proper documents. The main aim of such market is to cater the needs of first time buyers or those who wish to buy a car just give their wife an opportunity to show off. However there are car lovers too, who buy a car and use it barely for 3 or 4 months and dispose it as soon as they get bored with it. They relish more on trying newer brands in the market and hence discard cars quiet often. This is the reason why American markets are flooded with sparingly used cars. This market allows the traders to earn good returns for their deals & earn quick bucks easily. Majority of these cars are sold by the traders either to end up with car rental companies or with taxi drivers, since they always try to expand their networks. Buying a second hand car needs extra attention and inspection.
The buyer needs to verify the details of pervious owners of the car, ensure proper documentation & inspect the car thoroughly for maintenance, since the second car markets thrive with stolen cars & even those cars damaged in an accident or heavy flooding monsoons. Such cars are some times so well disguised that even the best technicians fail to identify the same. The problems hiding from your eyes may include poor engine configuration, damaged body works, and recovered paint work, accident-prone assemblies, tacky interiors & others. Generally, a depreciation of 15-18% is expected in the value of a car that is 1 year old. However, the final value depends upon the usage, maintenance & documentation.
The prices of second hand cars vary steeply thorough out the globe, as auto market is one such place where the number of varying factors is more than any other field, thus failing to take equilibrium. Due to high number of varying constraints in the markets, a very unruly pattern in the class of customers around the world is witnessed. The prices in the northern part of world map are appreciable, but the west has a better value and offers you a wide range of models to choose from. The north eastern parts seem to be tedious in this regard. If you are in search of good value cars, then you need to go to the southern hemisphere of the globe since there are many business oriented cities that have got better range to offer. However, customers hitting these southern markets need to be extra careful as there are many traders who can con easily. A market survey study reveals that these markets contain 40 to 50 % of cars that are stolen, or have met with accidents in the past.
The markets in South East Asian countries contain those cars that were damaged in the tsunami or during other natural calamities. Fiat, Daewoo, Kia, Subaru, Toyota and Honda are few makers that form the chunk of markets here. The most common place to find a huge list of cars to buy or sell is to have a glimpse at the local newspaper classifieds as the disposers find it a convenient media to advertise. Generally, the week end papers are flooded with such promos. The models range from a basic B-segment car to the luxurious Upper E-segments. These ads are placed directly by the disposers & thus prove to be a reliable means to buy a used car. The other sources include the monthly automotive magazines & the internet.
There are certain organizations that specialize in auto trading of a particular brand. These automotive organizations often have a good background, and prove to be trustworthy. The auto market traders also show keen interest to sell modified cars & bikes also. So if you are lucky, you may find your dream car in some other clothes! But if you are looking out for the modified versions, then you need to be still more careful as these cars and bikes may be changed to the extreme by excessive stripping or engine alterations. This may lead to problems like non availability of spares or warranty by the original manufacturer.
