Chrysler Lists Cars on Ebay

Chrysler to List Its Cars on Ebay

Chrysler is to list more than 15,000 certified used cars, Jeep and Dodge, on eBay, maybe they haven't heard about the outrageous changes Ebay has made recently to its auction business. which are actually driving sellers away from its site.

GM however said its listings are now live on eBay. They may have negotiated a good deal of course with Ebay, but they may also live to regret the decision, as Ebay is notorious for changing its terms and conditions to suit itself.

The no. 3 U.S. automaker sold over 122,000 certified used cars in 2007 and sales are up 8% so far this year. New vehicle sales on the other hand have dropped by more than 20%.

The certified used cars on offer from Chrysler are models from 2003 to 2008 which have done less than 65,000 miles. They are also reconditioned to Chrysler’s standards. They also have an eight-year, or 80,000-mile warranty.

Chrysler has said it will seek other deals with search engines such as Cars.com and AutoTrader.com.

There were about 43 million used vehicles sold in the US last year, over double the number of new vehicles sold at 16.2 million. Profit margins are usually better than they are for new vehicles
It should be good news for Ebay which is suffering at the moment as a result of its ridiculous increases in commission which have forced a lot of Ebay users to look for alternative auction sites.
