Launching "Car Tree Omakase Listing" Service that Combines the Best of Private Sales and Dealer Sales

Cartree (hereinafter referred to as Cartree), a used car trading platform operated by A-motion Inc., has launched a new service called "Cartree Omakase Listing" (https://cartree.jp/sell/omakase) that resolves challenges in traditional used car trading.

This service is an innovative used car trading solution that combines the greatest advantages of peer-to-peer sales—"the possibility of selling at high prices"—with dealer sales—"safe and secure transactions."

Sellers set their desired price, and the Cartree office handles everything from negotiations to delivery on their behalf, allowing them to aim for high-price sales while being completely freed from complicated procedures and risk of troubles.

Traditional used car trading has had significant challenges.

While peer-to-peer sales offer the potential for high selling prices, there are risks of being deceived, contract troubles, complicated procedures, and the burden of responding to inquiries from potential buyers.

On the other hand, while selling to dealers is safe and secure, the selling price tends to be lower compared to peer-to-peer sales due to intermediary margins.

For buyers as well, there was a dilemma: while peer-to-peer sales offer the possibility of purchasing at lower prices, there are concerns about trouble risks, and while purchasing from dealers is safe, prices are higher.

With "Cartree Omakase Listing," sellers set their desired selling price, and the Cartree office conducts sales activities on their behalf.

The seller's personal information is never disclosed, and Cartree handles all inquiries from potential buyers and complicated procedures.

Even if the vehicle cannot be sold, Cartree will purchase it at a pre-set guaranteed price, providing sellers with a risk-free selling experience.

Since Cartree also mediates procedures such as contracts, delivery, and title transfers, there is no need for sellers and buyers to contract directly, and there is no worry of getting caught up in troubles that occur during contracts.

"Traditional used car trading had a structure that forced both sellers and buyers to make some kind of compromise. 'Cartree Omakase Listing' is an innovative service that solves this fundamental problem and enables all parties to build win-win relationships. By achieving both the price advantages of peer-to-peer sales and the peace of mind of dealer transactions, we are creating a new standard in used car trading.

We promise to provide an environment where customers can complete transactions with confidence and satisfaction."

Using "Cartree Omakase Listing" is surprisingly simple.

Sellers simply need to enter their vehicle information on the service page (https://cartree.jp/sell/omakase) to complete the process.

After that, Cartree handles all subsequent sales activities, inquiry responses, price negotiations, contract procedures, title transfers, and vehicle delivery. All sellers need to do is the initial information entry and the final decision to sell.

Sellers are completely freed from the complicated procedures and time-consuming responses required in traditional peer-to-peer sales, and can sell their cars with peace of mind even while leading busy daily lives.

We have received high ratings from customers who have actually used the service.

Seller Mr. A commented, "When I tried peer-to-peer sales before, my weekends were consumed by responding to inquiries and attending viewings, and I eventually gave up on selling due to troubles. With Cartree Omakase Listing, I didn't need to do anything after entering my desired price, and the sale was completed at my desired price after two weeks. I'm amazed that such a simple and reassuring service exists."

Additionally, buyer Mr. B rated it highly, saying, "I was anxious about buying directly from an individual, but I was able to purchase with confidence because Cartree mediated. Moreover, I was able to get it for 200,000 yen less than dealer prices, and the after-sales support is solid, so I'm very satisfied."

"Cartree Omakase Listing(https://cartree.jp/sell/omakase)" aims to build a sustainable ecosystem as a new standard in the used car trading industry where sellers, buyers, and platform operators can all be satisfied.

Through continuous service improvements, we will continue to provide more customers with safe, secure, and highly satisfactory used car trading experiences.

This service is free, with no listing fees, and can be easily used by anyone.

Q. What is Cartree(https://cartree.jp/)?

A. It is a platform service where individuals and dealers can freely buy and sell used cars.

Q: How is Cartree Omakase Listing different from traditional peer-to-peer sales?

A: In traditional peer-to-peer sales, sellers and buyers communicate directly, which presents challenges such as risks of being deceived, contract troubles, and complicated procedures. Cartree Omakase Listing completely eliminates these risks by having the Cartree Purchase Division mediate, while maintaining the high-price advantages of peer-to-peer sales.

Q: How is the guaranteed price set?

A: The guaranteed price is set based on a comprehensive evaluation of the vehicle's market value, condition, demand, and other factors. Sellers can review both the desired price and guaranteed price in advance and make their listing decision without risk. Even if the vehicle cannot be sold, a guaranteed sale is ensured through purchase at the guaranteed price.

Q: To what extent is the seller's personal information protected?

A: The seller's personal information is never disclosed until the sale is completed. All communication with potential buyers is handled by the Cartree Purchase Division, and sellers do not need to respond directly. The service is designed with personal information protection and transaction security as top priorities.

Q: To what extent is the complexity of procedures reduced?

A: All complicated procedures that sellers had to handle in traditional peer-to-peer sales, such as contract creation, title transfers, and vehicle delivery, are handled by the Cartree Purchase Division. Sellers only need to set the vehicle information and desired price, then simply wait for the sale to complete.

Q: What are the benefits for buyers?

A: Buyers can potentially purchase vehicles at lower prices than dealer prices while avoiding the trouble risks unique to peer-to-peer sales. Since the Cartree Purchase Division provides quality assurance and after-sales support, buyers can proceed with their purchase with confidence.

Q: What are the service fees?

A: Cartree's basic service is free to use. Cartree Omakase Listing also adopts a fee structure with no additional burden on sellers, designed for easy use.

Q: What is the difference from existing used car dealers?

A: Existing dealers resell vehicles in-house after purchase, so the purchase price includes a resale margin. With Cartree Omakase Listing, sellers set their desired price and aim to sell at that price, so higher selling prices can be expected. At the same time, selling risks are mitigated through the guaranteed price.
