To celebrate the launch of its free seven-day (or less) delivery service to customers in metropolitan Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane from April 4, CARS24 took to the air in a novel departure.
Giving Sydneysiders a preview of future helicopter or drone delivery, the CARS24 aircraft delivered cars across the city on the weekend of April 2 and 3, to illustrate the company’s commitment to giving Aussie car buyers the most convenient experience possible.
With waiting times of up to 12 months impacting the new car buying experience across the country, CARS24 has committed to the new expedited delivery promise to metro customers, offering Australians greater convenience.
The announcement follows new research revealing Aussies are frustrated with the traditional time-consuming used car buying process – as it takes more than four weeks to research via online classifieds and search engines, and an average of a one and a half hour commute to visit one private seller.
CARS24 says that offers a quick, easy and stress-free experience compared to the traditional model – providing the ability to finance and purchase within four minutes, and now, free delivery within one week to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne metro customers.
To further streamline the purchasing process, CARS24 says it offers a simple website and search to reduce the time required to evaluate options. In fact, 30% of CARS24 customers purchase their car within the first 24 hours of visiting the website.
“Buying a new car has been a tedious and time-consuming process, especially in recent years with some Aussies waiting up to 12 months for their vehicle,” CARS24 chief executive Olga Rudenko says.
“Aussies have waited long enough, and we’re excited to change the car buying game by being the only 100% online provider of used cars to offer home delivery in seven days or less.
“Combined with a fast online ordering process, we’re proud to provide an industry-first offering, and bring greater convenience and value to the market.”
CARS24 also offers a 300-point inspection to ensure car quality, a seven-day test drive with 100% money-back guarantee and six-month unlimited warranty.
Since launching in Australia in September 2021, CARS24 has increased its inventory by 150% to a diverse and high-quality fleet of over 1,500 vehicles available online – across more than 300 mainstream models, averaging an age of five years, odometer of 70,000km and price range of $7,000 to $93,000 with an average price of AUD$30,000.
The company has also closed a AUD$100 million debt raise to fund the expansion and assortment of inventory across the Eastern Seaboard and catering to both metro and regional customers.
