BCA launches retail ready sales programme for dealers

BCA has launched a daily sales program providing vehicles in a condition that are ready to be retailed.

It claims the used vehicle quality standard achieved sits ahead of any of the current standard auction grading.

Each vehicles exceeds Grade 1 cosmetic condition, has a clean Assured mechanical report, recently passed a MOT and been serviced.

The aim is to alleviate the shortage created by much reduced levels of direct-entered OEM stock at auction.

The online BCA Forecourt Ready programme features daily sales, with around 1,000 cars offered each week initially.

Stuart Pearson, BCA COO UK said: “BCA Forecourt Ready is an innovative sales programme that only becomes possible thanks to BCA’s nationwide remarketing, refurbishment and logistics networks along with our access to the best sources of used vehicle stock in the UK.

“We recognise that with the pressure on new car supply, many of the traditional sources for retail prepped vehicles now have severely restricted volumes, making these cars incredibly difficult to source.”

“BCA Forecourt Ready has been created to plug a gap in the market and ensure that BCA’s buyer customers have access to a regular, aggregated daily supply of these high demand, retail prepared vehicles.

“BCA buyers can begin marketing their purchases immediately using our high quality imagery, safe in the knowledge that the vehicle will require little or no pre-sale preparation when it arrives at their dealership.”

Pearson concluded “BCA is using it’s scale to further support retail dealers, by managing the complex, exacting and time consuming refurbishment activities necessary to bring used vehicles up to approved retail standards.”
