AutoSt. will offer a state-of-art certification system and consolidate the pre-owned car inventories of well-established dealer groups, based on which a unique world-class pre-owned car system will be built. AutoSt. will also integrate physical auction and online, simultaneous auction of pre-owned cars, lifestyle product sales and auto refurbishment. Various warranty options for pre-owned cars will be offered to customers, providing a safe and anxiety-free purchasing experience. Regarding financial services, AutoSt. will provide no-hassle, fast approval and fast loan-release financing plans for its customers. Auto dealers will have access to favorable floor plans offered by a commercial bank on the AutoSt. platform, further helping improve the auto purchase experience.
Drawing on the resources and expertise of its strategic partners, AutoSt. will also provide a whole package of value-added services at its O2O offline platform, consistent with international 4S standard. AutoSt. already has seven subsidiary offline trade centers in China, and plans to finish its strategic deployment of over one hundred outlets nationwide by the end of this year. The grand opening ceremony for AutoSt. was held today at its Shanghai Pudong offline operation center, located at 1000 Jinhu Rd, Pudong District of Shanghai. The Shanghai Pudong center covers around over six thousand square meters, with the space divided to perform multiple functions, including vehicle display, vehicle appraisal, online auction, offline auction, paperwork handling, negotiation, and all aspects of the vehicle sale process.
