Are Traditional Used Car Dealers Making A Comeback?

Are Traditional Used Car Dealers Making A Comeback?

The presence of online used car dealers that are approaching the industry with professionalism has triggered the traditional used car dealers to start getting their act together. They’ve started to, according to Daniel Fernandez, and this might swing the tide in their favour again, as online used car dealers are also beginning to struggle surviving in the industry. Daniel shares his thoughts on this in the second half of the show.

In the news segment, both Vespa and Triumph announced new models of their motorcycles, while Denza is raring to continue their impact in the market, this time by announcing a new luxury SUV called the Denza N9.

Last but not least, we also talk about Alfa Romeo’s impending return to the Malaysian market, and recommend listeners to check out a used Alfa Romeo Tonale Veloce if they want to sample the Italian brand’s quality and workmanship before their official arrival here.
