Leading European car retailer Cazoo aims to make buying and selling vehicles as straightforward a process as ordering any consumer product online. Today, the innovative company announced that it has officially launched its service in Spain, offering Spanish consumers -- for the first time -- a simple and convenient online solution for used car shopping.
Cazoo offers a wide selection of used cars, which the company buys and refurbishes itself. According to the company, the launch in Spain will offer shoppers access to hundreds of vehicles, all of which can be purchased 100% online and delivered to their homes. Because of this, the brand markets itself as the "Amazon of the used car market."
"We are very excited to launch in Spain, following our recent launches in both France and Germany at the end of last year. We have reimagined car buying to make it simple and convenient whilst to give consumers total peace of mind when buying their next car," said Alex Chesterman, Founder & CEO of Cazoo.
