Carwow has revealed its list of the top 10 individual lots that attracted the most interest from individual dealers at its dealer auctions.
A 2017 Ford Fiesta came first in the rankings with 31 offers from dealers, followed in joint second by an Audi S4 and a Volkswagen Golf-R with 28 bidders.
Joint fourth place was split three ways between a Mini hatchback, a 2017 BMW X3 and a 2019 BMW 3-Series Touring, with 27 bidders each.
Rounding out the top 10 were two more examples of the Volkswagen Golf R, another 2017 BMW X3 and an Audi S3, each securing 26 bidders.
In 2023, the majority (53%) of stock was less than five years old, and nearly two-thirds (60%) had less than 30,000 miles on the clock, hitting the ‘sweet spot’ for used sales.
Carwow has also seen record sales of lower-cost cars, like other market players.
This Valentine’s Day the platform is running a new consumer campaign by getting the public to ‘break up’ with their cars.
“We know there are plenty of good reasons for sellers to break up with quality cars – over a third (38%) of motorists sell to upgrade to a bigger or better car that suits changing needs and lifestyle requirements, while a quarter (25%) sell because they no longer need it.
“That means more fresh quality stock for dealers in our daily online auctions,” said Sally Foote, chief commercial officer – Sell My Car.
