CARGURUS CONTINUES SUPPORT FOR UK DEALERS WITH EXTENDED RATE REDUCTIONS FOR JUNE

• 50% rate reduction extended for June for subscribing dealers on CarGurus and PistonHeads in UK
• CarGurus enables dealer promotion of Contactless Services at no cost
• Driving Difference section of CarGurus’ Dealer Resource Centre launched to provide COVID-19 specific resources for dealers

London, UK, 29 April, 2020 – As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, CarGurus, a leading global automotive marketplace, today announced it will continue its 50% rate reduction for the month of June for all of its subscribing dealerships in the UK on both CarGurus’ UK and PistonHeads platforms. CarGurus was the first among the major UK online automotive marketplaces* to offer discounts to dealers in April and has continued its COVID-19 discounts for May and now June.

The 50% discount is intended to provide extended cost relief, enabling dealers to efficiently connect with buyers on the CarGurus platform and benefit from pent-up demand as summer begins. An April survey by CarGurus** showed that 63% of UK car buyers plan to buy a vehicle this year, and of those nearly a third (31%) plan to purchase as soon as restrictions are lifted while 60% plan to purchase within three months.

Wendy Harris, Vice President of European Sales for CarGurus, said: “At CarGurus, we remain committed to doing everything we can to support our dealers in these extremely difficult times. It is incredible to witness the resilience demonstrated by our dealer partners, and I’m proud that CarGurus has continued to focus on helping dealers succeed through these challenges. We hope that the June discount in combination with our new Contactless Services features will help dealers to weather the storm and build towards recovery.”

While COVID-19 social distancing guidelines have forced some dealerships to close their forecourt locations, many CarGurus dealers continue to engage buyers online and through socially distant methods via CarGurus’ new Contactless Services, which subscribing dealers can take advantage of at no cost. Dealers can find more COVID-19 information and learn how CarGurus can be a partner and resource at this time by visiting the new Driving Difference section of the CarGurus Dealer Resource Centre

How CarGurus Works:

CarGurus helps car buyers search local car listings and quickly find great deals from top rated dealers. Every day, the company analyses millions of data points on hundreds of thousands of UK car listings to calculate each car’s Instant Market Value (IMV) or fair retail price. This data is used in combination with dealership ratings from other buyers to rank and rate available cars results based on the quality of the deal: Great, Good, Fair, High or Overpriced. The site also provides transparency on how long the car has been on the forecourt and if it’s had a price drop. Consumers can contact dealers directly.
