Out of the 1,200 used cars sold each month since January 2021, 70% have been via home test drives and deliveries – a testimony to the trust in the quality of its cars and the information available online. 80% of used cars in Bangalore were sold via home drives. While almost 70% are first-time car buyers who earlier relied on public transport and shared cabs, more than 20% of car buyers have been women. The ownership cycles too have gone down; leading to new cars coming into the pre-owned vehicle market. For example, as per a Times of India report, used cars in Delhi and NCR are the cheapest as well as see new vehicles more, since the average ownership period has dropped from 7 to 4 years.
