Not a long time back, people looking for used cars from auctions had to visit the auction sites physically, wait for the category of their choice, bid manually and repeat the process until they land up with a car. But now, due to the presence of online industry, the importers don’t have to go through this process physically as they can access the auctions online through services providers.
