Seat UK has appointed Autorola as its online remarketing partner to support its dealer network in selling over age stock and unwanted part exchanges.
The Autofind service is being rolled out to the 125-strong dealer network, which currently sells 33,000 used cars a year.
“We have a cross section of dealers who dedicate different amounts of time and resource to used cars,” said David Ardern, Seat UK’s used car manager.
“We believe Autofind will help all the dealers manage the challenge of selling over age stock to Autorola’s 2,000 active buyers.
“The early signs are that some dealers are also using the service to buy stock to add to their used car forecourts,” he said.
Dealers sign up to the Autorola service to buy or sell vehicles on the Autofind online portal, which currently has over 14,000 used cars and vans for sale.
In March Citroen appointed Autorola as its online remarketing partner.
Autorola said the majority of Citroen’s 200 dealers had signed up to use the Autofind online sales portal.
