Used Car Buyers Queue up for Quality

London (PRWeb UK) August 21, 2009

In the ‘second chance’ section of the website, visitors to Autoquake.com can register their interest in a used car which has already been reserved by another buyer, in case it becomes available again. A staggering 220 potential buyers asked to be emailed if one BMW 318i came back on the market, more than any other model.

The website also has a ‘coming soon’ page, where shoppers can ask for email alerts on cars which will shortly be in stock. Again, BMW tops the charts. One particular used BMW 118d M Sport had a queue of 145 buyers waiting before it was even on sale.

Plenty of other prestige cars have attracted lots of interest, and not just those with a BMW badge. 108 car buyers asked to be contacted if one Range Rover came back on the market. 95 buyers requested an email if a reserved Volvo XC90 became available again.

Quality mainstream cars are also popular with Autoquake.com visitors. An amazing 180 buyers waited to find out if a Vauxhall Zafira 1.8i buyer changed their mind. Almost 140 shoppers asked to be told if a Mazda 5 2.0D became available again.

Fredrik Skantze, Autoquake.com’s CMO and co-founder, said: ‘There’s a shortage of quality used cars at the moment, so it’s no wonder buyers are queuing up to buy the most popular models.

‘At Autoquake.com there’s a constantly changing stock of nearly 1000 cars, so if we don’t have the car a buyer is looking for right now, there’s a good chance we will soon.’
