Junglee.com, a leading product search and comparison site in India, has announced the launch of its pre-owned vehicles store which enables users to find used vehicles on Junglee.com from over 160 cities across India. The company has also partnered with Mahindra First Choice for auto inspection and launched an automotive accessories store
The store enables customers to search over 25,000 pre-owned vehicle listings across 160 cities from car dealers like Mahindra First Choice, classifieds sites like Carwale, Zigwheels, Gaadi.com, Drivespark and many offline dealers and individuals. Usually, shopping for vehicles is inherently limited to a city. To make this contextual and convenient for customers, Junglee.com says it will list pre-owned vehicles within their preferred city only. In addition, customers can now post a free ad for selling their vehicles. To post an ad, they need to do is click pictures of the vehicle, fill in the details and set a price for prospective buyers.
Making the announcement, Mahendra Nerurkar, general manager, Junglee.com said, “Junglee’s vision is to help customers find the best place to buy anything. Pre-owned vehicles is a large and fragmented category where Junglee is attempting to simplify the shopping experience for customers by organizing high quality vehicles listings across multiple sources in one place, and offering optional value-added services such as inspection and buying & selling guides. For classifieds sites, dealers and individuals, Junglee offers a cost-effective medium to attract high intent car shoppers. We are thrilled by the commitment shown by our partners in helping us organize this important segment”.
Verified sellers
Junglee.com says that it ensures that every vehicle listed on its website is accompanied by a photograph and detailed product information like kilometres driven, year of first registration and number of past owners. This helps customers get a true picture of the actual condition of the vehicle. Junglee.com undertakes to verify the identity of every individual posting an ad through a one-time password via SMS. To ensure that customers only see fresh and relevant ads, all stale ads are removed after 30 days unless the seller confirms that the vehicle is still available for sale.
Vehicle inspection services
Junglee.com has partnered with Mahindra First Choice to provide vehicle inspection services at affordable prices across all cities. Autoinspekt, a Mahindra First Choice Company, will inspect and publish a comprehensive inspection report for any vehicle on demand by customers on Junglee.com. This will provide both buyers and sellers an easy and reliable way to understand the condition of the vehicle and its fair market value.
“We are excited to partner with Junglee.com. It ties in with our endeavor to organize the used car industry in India. Our vehicle inspection services (Autoinspekt) are now the de facto standard in the industry. Over the last 10 years, we have built the largest multi-brand network of used car dealers and leveraged this experience to bring new products and services to enable buyers and sellers to transact efficiently through data and technology. I look forward to expanding our partnership with Junglee.com to grow our mutual businesses,” said Dr Nagendra Palle, CEO, Mahindra First Choice Wheels.
Meanwhile, the Automotive Accessories Store enables customers to find and compare over 80,000 car and bike accessories available from more than 100 online sellers. The product range includes car electronics like music systems and GPS to riding accessories like helmets, jackets and gloves along with vehicle maintenance and care products like car covers, car washing equipment and polishing wax.
