Heycar is a brand new digital retail platform for used cars that recently launched within the United Kingdom. Their focus is to create an environment where consumers can trust the car's they are buying online.

The brand will do this by creating a superior user experience for consumers and dealers launching with an inventory of over 100,000 listed vehicles from over 50 automotive brands at 1,400 dealerships. Heycar has a strong focus on quality. The brand only partners with selected dealers. All vehicles listed on heycar come with a warranty, are less than 8 years old and have less than 100,000 miles on the clock.

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) puts the value of the UK used car industry at £50 billion with the UK used car finance point of sale market being valued at £17.6 billion by the Finance and Leasing Association.

The UK used car industry has long suffered from strong consumer scepticism. heycar aims to overcome this scepticism and make its mark on this sector through innovation and fresh thinking. heycar brings a simpler solution to the UK, allowing users to search for and find their used car, complete with a finance quote, in a seamless online journey.

Speaking at the heycar launch event in London, CEO Mat Moakes comments: “The UK used car industry is worth £50 billion, yet it works inefficiently for consumers and dealers. Buying a used car can be like a lottery, you don’t know what you’ll get. Existing websites are often cluttered with ads, eroding consumer trust. Dealers are burdened with rising fees for listing used cars online, which squeezes their margins without a guarantee of leads or sales being generated.
