British Car Auctions (BCA) has surpassed
100,000 online sales in 2011, a rise of 11% year-on-year.  The
100,000th car – a 2009 Audi A3 Sport – was sold in the GE Capital
sale at BCA Blackbushe on 30th November.

Commercial director D’Vidis Jacobs said:
“Online sales volumes have again grown significantly this year at
BCA with Live Online, Bid Now, Buy Now and e-Auction numbers rising
by around 11% across the board.”

“BCA has taken nearly two million Live Online
bids from professional buyers this year to date, an increase of
around 18%.  The number of individual trade buyers regularly
using BCA’s online selling channels also continues to grow, year on
year.”

Jacobs added that the flexibility of online
channels meant buyers can access a wide range of vehicles 365 days
a year without the hassle of travelling costs. “Sellers can reach
an even wider audience of buyers as a result, and can even sell
vehicles in situ without any logistics costs. Online is set to
continue to grow in importance for all customers and in 2011, over
20% of all BCA’s sales will be via online channels.”
