It’s been about a year and a half since I bought my first car, which I found via Sulit Cars (and now OLX Cars and Automotives). Just this week, my parents bought another one for their own use—also via OLX. Little did we know that there’s another trustworthy site where getting your dream car is just a tap away. It’s called Carmudi.
It’s not that I want to replace or upgrade my vehicle but my interest just sparked upon hearing about the new Honda Brio. I searched online and found the Carmudi website. I didn’t expect to find quality listings that are like in a uniform format. The site layout is very organized and navigation is user-friendly, too. In this article, let me share some things I have learned about Carmudi.
8 Things About Carmudi You Need to Know
1. World’s Fastest Growing Online Car Classified
Carmudi hosts only vehicle classified ads and nothing else. Having that focus also allows them to put every vehicle through a highly approved quality checking system. To date, it has over 20,000 vehicle ads posted online, and over one million users are visiting the Carmudi website every month.
2. Special Service on Posting
Unlike other sites which list cars for sale, Carmudi sends a team of car experts who have been in the industry for five to ten years to go to the sellers personally. They take photos of the cars and take the details down before placing them as online listing. This service emphasizes on trust, as Carmudi as a company values trustworthy listings for the buyers who go to their website.
3. Managed Content
Because of the above point, there’s no way that junk data would reside on the Carmudi site. The business platform operates under a high level of transparency through professional photos, updated listings, detailed descriptions, reports and rankings for 100% of its vehicles in each market. Only approved vehicles are posted, so buyers can be sure that buying through the website is safe.
4. After-sales Service
Carmudi has an after-sales service team who contacts sellers to give them insights on how to better sell their cars faster. At the same time, this is when Carmudi gets feedback on how to improve their services.
5. Robust Filtering and Searching Capabilities
Customers can filter searches by any means that they wish, from brand to model and year to price. If this is not enough, further filters such as age, mileage and even color are also available to make sure that customers are able to find exactly what they want. More features will be added shortly.
6. Share Listings on Social Media
Carmudi allows users to share listings on various social platforms to gain opinions from friends and family if they are unsure.
7. Set Listings as Favorites
Carmudi allows for setting listings as favorites so that they get instant notifications on their favorite rides.
8. Global App for Android Devices
The Carmudi website has an equivalent mobile application which runs on Android. The Carmudi mobile app gives users an excellent experience of buying cars while on the move, thus allowing them the same sense of ease and comfort out and about as they would experience in front of their PCs at home. This mobile app has been released only last month (July 23, 2014), and more and more tech-savvy Filipinos are already using it. Check it out on Google Play Store! 🙂
Wrap Up
Powered by Rocket Internet, Carmudi operates in 15 countries and is now ready to set to change the experience of shopping for car enthusiasts in the Philippines. The website, carrmudi.com.ph, was founded in 2013 and is envisioned to be a one-stop shop for vehicles. Everything you need to know about vehicles will be there–from maintenance videos to financing options to repair shops.
Also, with the new mobile app, Carmudi is changing the way consumers search and shop for cars, as mobile phones account for more than a third of the internet usage in the emerging world. The app is available to Android users in 20 countries across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. To learn more, visit its website and Facebook page.
