Fourteen years ago, Claudio of Spazio Auto made a remarkable decision: the importer bought his cars online from then on from OPENLANE, which was then called CarsOnTheWeb.
"I have been an importer for twenty years. At first, I went abroad twice a month, looking for new vehicles for sale. You can imagine how much time and money it took", Claudio begins. "I then decided that I would do things differently and I went to look for a partner online. The seriousness and professionalism of CarsOnTheWeb, now OPENLANE, convinced me immediately".
Claudio mainly focuses on German car brands such as Audi, Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes. He offers his customers high-quality, reasonably priced cars that cost between 10,000 and 30,000 euros. He sells them via online channels to customers across the country. "Even during the pandemic caused by Covid-19, I continued to buy and sell. The market was at a standstill at that time. This created opportunities because the prices were very attractive. Now, everything is recovering and I see that prices are rising again".
"The photos and descriptions are always right. That’s very important!"
When Claudio started his online adventure, he tried out various auction platforms. But OPENLANE is Claudio's only partner for nine years now. "All purchases are completely hassle-free. Even for my customers. This is a huge advantage! OPENLANE carefully examines each car. The descriptions are correct. The photos show the car as it really is. And if a problem arises or something doesn't work, customer service provides a solution. Even if another platform would offer me a better price, I still would be loyal to OPENLANE," concludes Claudio.
