Until 2007, dealerships had to rely on relationships to trade cars, but then with the rise of the internet and online auctions, our partner - DealersOnline - created a shift.
Connecting buyers and sellers through one online platform, they changed the way that used cars were traded in South Africa. With CarFling, this previously closed marketplace is now open to consumers. Helping you beat the middlemen, bank the margin and maximise when selling your car.
We collect, inspect, store and sell thousands of cars each month from across the country for leasing businesses and corporate fleets. (AVIS, WesBank, Standard Bank, Bidvest).
Our auction technology enables 63 white-label platforms powering marketplaces for global brands like Ford, Jaguar Land Rover and BMW and leading dealership groups.
With at least 450 cars listed daily on auction, we have the market’s attention six days a week, creating a daily habit for buyers procuring stock.
The DealersOnline Marketplace is a vibrant and healthy ecosystem, facilitating the sale of over 5000 vehicles a month through our network of over 6500 active buyers.
Over 700 dealerships and buying businesses make money using our software and datasets to inspect, price, and sell cars, achieving on average 110% of trade-value (book).
