Extremely unstable in value

"Gebrauchtwagen Praxis" analyzes the market and sales strategies for car-sharing returns

Car sharing - the shared use of cars - is booming in Germany. In the last five years, the number of users in this country has more than quadrupled to over 1.3 million. The number of cars being used is also growing: At the beginning of 2016, the Federal Association for Carsharing put the number of carsharing vehicles in use at over 16,000.

In purely mathematical terms, in many cases it makes perfect sense for users to do without their own car and share one with others instead. But what happens to decommissioned car sharing vehicles? Does the operator of a car sharing service also get his money's worth? And: Can the vehicles still be attractively marketed after their career with constantly changing drivers and a disproportionate number of short trips?

In the current issue, the trade journal "Gebrauchtwagen Praxis" analyzes the extent to which shared use affects the resale value of car sharing returns and the strategies used by car sharing providers. In doing so, "Gebrauchtwagen Praxis" also sheds light on the factors that play a role in the chances of success for the remarketing of car sharing returns.
