Sell your car at the best price The easiest option – a reliable sales account concept

You benefit from the sales account because we don’t need to buy your car for our own inventory. This allows us to sell your car with a smaller profit margin.

As a result, you get a better price for your car than if you sold it directly to a car dealership. There are also many other advantages, which you can find below.

In addition to the margin advantage and better price expectations mentioned in section 1, you will receive several benefits as a sales account customer (see the following headings).

We have been offering this service since 2018, and we are now investing heavily in it: one of our professionals will be your personal contact person.

To date, we have succeeded in selling over 95% of all sales account cars.

In total, we sell around 1,000 cars annually. Our sales and marketing expertise and the best interest rates on the market support the sale of your car.

In addition, transparent and open operations are important to us. You will receive all information openly.

The price/amount that will be transferred to you upon completion of the sale will be agreed upon at the outset when we enter into an agreement with you.

When your car is sold, you will receive this amount in your account quickly.

In sales account terminology, this amount agreed upon at the outset is called the target price, because it will only be realized once a buyer is found and the sale is completed.

Your car will not be sold for less than the target price unless you yourself want to lower the price, for example, to speed up the sale. We never require this of you.

The portion above the target price remains with us as a commission for our sales work, the costs associated with marketing your car, and our risk-free service. You will not incur any additional costs for the sale (other than the sales account opening fee of €295).

Not quite, as you will be charged a sales account opening fee of €295.

The opening fee is the only cost you will incur. The sales account includes the following:

• car inspection and evaluation
• professional car detailing
• photography
• effective marketing
• sales staff work
• paperwork related to the sale
• car delivery

Even if your car does not sell, you will still get your money’s worth, as your car will have been fully fixed. However, this scenario is very unlikely, as we have sold over 95% of all cars listed in our sales account service, which we launched in 2018, totaling several hundred cars.

We market used cars in large volumes. We have a strong presence on the most popular sales channel, Nettiauto, alongside our own car listings.

In addition:

• More than 20,000 visitors view used cars on our website alone every month.
• Our extensive social media advertising focuses on our interest rate offers, which also apply to sales account cars.
• Your car will receive a very large number of views.

There are many differences between private sellers and us in terms of sales opportunities. One of the most important factors facilitating purchases is financing. The vast majority of cars are now purchased with financing (monthly payments).

• The competitive advantage in financing (monthly payments) is the interest rate.
• Our interest rates are the best on the market, as Iltalehti has also noted.
• The buyer can purchase your car from us/our sales account at an affordable monthly payment.

We are constantly buying cars. Most of our purchases take place when a customer buys a car from us, at which point their old car is transferred to us as part of the payment.

• At our sales process, the buyer of your car can also use their old car as a down payment for the installment purchase.
• We redeem the buyer’s old car.
• This does not affect the sales price you receive.

When selling your car, it is important for the buyer and consumer protection whether you are the seller or a car dealership.

• If the buyer purchases the car directly from a private individual, they are not covered by consumer protection legislation. Similarly, you may be liable for any defects.
• When the buyer purchases the car from a sales account (from us), they are covered by consumer protection legislation.

To ensure that buying a car from a sales account is safe and fair for all parties, we proceed as follows with sales account cars: Once a buyer has been found for your car, we buy the car from you and sell it to the buyer.

Thanks to this process, the buyer of your car is protected by the Consumer Protection Act.

By following the procedure described in the previous section, you will avoid any potential consequences of faults that may occur in your car later on.

Some operators in our industry have also made this process such that the responsibility ultimately lies with the private seller, so you should be careful about this issue of responsibility.

With our approach, you can rest assured. We take responsibility.

All cars sold by us are fixed by a company specializing in fixing and tuning that operates in our dealership.

You can be sure that your car will look great in photos and at the time of sale.

We also have the best studio system on the market. The photos of your car will be professional quality and will look like they were taken in our own car studio.

Measured by sales volume, we are one of the leading private car dealerships in the Pirkanmaa region. Nearly 1,000 used cars sold per year is a testament to the professionalism of our sales staff.

Don’t worry, our own multi-brand service center can probably fix the problem! We offer a 10% discount on servicing for cars in our sales inventory.

We accept passenger cars and vans for sale, regardless of their power source.

The maximum age of a car placed on sale is 12 years. The maximum mileage is 210,000 kilometers. In some cases, we may make an exception.

Special vehicles and exceptionally valuable vehicles are not usually well suited to the sales account service, as they may take a long time to sell.

If necessary, ask about the suitability of your vehicle for the sales account.

The listing price is €295 (including full fixing, photography, and sales advertisement on various portals). Payment terms: payment is made when the sales agreement is signed.

The maximum age of a car listed for sale is 12 years. The maximum mileage is 210,000 kilometers.

The basic term of the agreement is 60 days, after which the sale of the car can be continued indefinitely. Cancellation of the assignment during the basic term costs €495.

The client must sell the item at the pre-agreed target price if Autolähde Oy wishes to purchase it during the contract period. However, you can also sell the car at a lower price if this is necessary to ensure the success of the sale.

Autolähde Oy reserves the right not to include the car in its sales account service.
