If you’re in the market for a used car under £5,000 but don’t want to try an auction or buy from a dealer, then you should consider the new service on offer from The CarFair UK.
On Sundays at Kempton Park Racecourse (only 20 minutes from Hyde Park) The CarFair UK has created a venue for buyers to meet sellers and vice versa.
The benefit for the buyer means that there’s a lot of cars to look at from a number of private sellers and the seller in turn will have a number of potential customers viewing.
Both parties will benefit as there will be no middleman or dealership involvement, which naturally bumps up the price when businesses have to make a markup.
For all buyers, entry to the The CarFair UK is free and for sellers a nominal fee of only £15 to £25 on the day depending on whether you’ve pre-registered on the website.
The first event from The CarFair UK took place Sunday 3rd July 2011. If anyone attended please provide some feedback, I’d be really keen to know your thoughts on what seems like an excellent new concept in car buying and selling.
This is definitely a cost-efficient way of buying a car. Middle men get a commission for every vehicle sold. This amount makes the deal a bit more expensive on the buyers’ part. But with this event, both parties will, indeed, benefit, as the car being auctioned will have an amount which is reasonable for dealers and buyers alike.
