19pc of used car sales to be on-line in 2000
Tuesday, April 04 2000
by Dominic Phelan




Research company Forrester is predicting that up to 19pc of used car sales will
be influenced by the Internet this year. The growth will come as dealers and
individuals move on-line to find the best deals. Forrester is predicting that
growing consumer acceptance of buying on-line will force the industry to offer
more ancillary services, beyond current offerings like financing, insurance and
warranty. The analysts also predict a bridging of the gap between the new and
used car trade. In Ireland, on-line auto sites including Autopoint.ie and
Autofinder.ie were joined recently by Motormarket.ie, an on-line information and
sales site for used cars.
