The process of selling one’s car used to be quite cumbersome. Back in the day, there weren’t many easy avenues for the average person looking to sell their car. You’d either advertise in the newspapers, or leave the car with a used car dealership, to be sold with a commission. Either way, the process was time-consuming at best, sometimes taking weeks before one was able to sell their car. With the emergence of the internet, things got a bit better; car owners now had multiple platforms on which they could advertise their car for sale. However, the process still took time – a process of negotiating with potential buyers and taking various offers until one got the price of one’s choice.
Recognizing this gap in the market, new start-up Vava.Cars has taken advantage of the reach afforded by the internet to provide a unique solution that allows customers to sell and buy used cars with ease. It’s quick and easy and totally hassle free! The process starts with a free online valuation of your car at www.vava.cars – as the car owner, you enter various details, such as vehicle make and model, year, and mileage. Voila! Within minutes, Vava.Cars will give you a valuation of your car and all you need do next is set up an appointment with your nearest Vava.Cars Purchase Center. At the Purchase Center, the experts at Vava.Cars will inspect your car in detail for free, and give you an attractive offer on the spot. Should the customer accept the offer, the payment process is near instantaneous. The whole experience takes place in just 45 minutes!
As an added benefit for consumers, Vava.Cars also offers consumers the chance to acquire a Vava.Cars Verified used car. This means that customers can not only sell their car – on the spot, instantly – they can also simultaneously get an appointment to check out what options they have from Vava.Cars to replace the car they’ve just sold. These used cars have been inspected in detail by Vava.Cars – which means customers get to see a detailed report on the car. In addition, customers can choose to do an ‘partial exchange’ (if there’s a price differential, the customer can put in the difference). This means that customers can easily, and efficiently, both sell their used car and buy a replacement, all within the same day!
Along with buying and selling cars to consumers, Vava.Cars also offers Fleet Liquidation Services to companies and organizations. This is yet another pain point that Vava.Cars has set out to solve i.e. offering corporate clients a one stop shop solution for whenever they need to sell their used cars. Instead of going through traditional methods of advertising in print or online classifieds, or hosting auctions, companies can reach out to Vava.Cars for their Fleet Liquidation Service – through this service, Vava.Cars can help facilitate and manage auctions on behalf of the company with the help of technology and a verified based of hundreds of buyers, or can buy vehicles directly from the company in bulk. The same transparent, free, quick, and secure inspection, pricing, and selling mechanism that consumers love, is offered to corporate clients by Vava.Cars.
The company has already started making waves in the country’s used car market. Having started operations in Pakistan in January 2020, despite the harsh business conditions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, Vava.Cars has already made a significant impact with its business model of offering a fast and secure way to sell your car in three easy steps: free valuation online, free inspection at a center or at a location of your choice via the company’s Mobile Purchasing Units (MPUs), and secure payment made once the customer is satisfied. Not only is the company working towards organizing the chaotic used car market, it is injecting much needed foreign investment into the local economy and enabling numerous employment opportunities.
The company has expanded its network rapidly in Karachi, setting up centers in the areas around Ittehad, Tariq Road, Nazimabad, and Johar. At the same time, Vava.Cars also offers MPUs located in Clifton/DHA, PECHS, Gulistan-Johar, Gulshan FBA area, Malir, and Shah-Faisal/Quaidabad. These MPUs make the process even more accessible, by allowing car owners to have their automobiles inspected in the location of their choosing, without having to visit a purchase center. Only upon accepting an offer does the customer need to visit the Purchase Center to finalise the deal, and drop off the vehicle. While currently operating in Karachi, the company has plans to go nationwide. Vava.Cars’ heritage comes from a global group founded over 50 years and headquartered in the UK. Vava.Cars is also operational in Turkey. In Pakistan, Vava.Cars has streamlined the process of selling your car, ensuring car owners save time and energy, and get their car instantly valued, transparently inspected by experts, and then easily sold.
