Increasing acceptance for online purchases of classic and vintage cars (question of the week)
In the age of the coronavirus pandemic, auction houses have increasingly turned to the online channel. And with success. Even classics worth millions have been knocked down online. More and more bidders seem to be taking part in auctions online. We took the pulse on this topic for the first time around 2.5 years ago, and now we are naturally interested in whether opinions have changed. So we launched another "question of the week"on this topic.
And now the answers are in, 235 readers have expressed their opinion this time:
27.2Percent can't imagine buying online at all, which is in line with the result two years ago.
37.9 percent can imagine checking for a car online when the right opportunity arises (in 2018, this figure was 30 percent).
30.6 percent consider it conceivable, with restrictions (32 percent)
3 percent consider an online purchase to be the most efficient way to get a new classic car, although this was still six percent 2.5 years ago.
1.3 percent were unable to give an answer, compared to 2 percent in the last survey.
Overall, there has been a certain shift towards a willingness to buy and sell online. Just 2.5 years ago, 68 percent could imagine bidding for cars online, now the figure is 71 percent.
We have also summarized the figures graphically, with the values from 2018 in brackets, when 136 readers took part.
We have already published a new "Question of the week" . We are very interested to hear what you think of the redesigned Zwischengas website.
And, of course, you can still read the results of all previous "Questions of the Week" in the corresponding topic channel .
