Zellmer claimed: “Surveys show around two-thirds of our customers also want to be able to purchase our vehicles online.”

Zellmer again: “Online sales will not replace the brick and mortar dealership. They are indispensable when it comes to providing personal, competent advice.”

Online services for new vehicles will be gradually expanded to include cash purchase and finance options.

German dealers have offered new and used cars for purchase online since the end of 2021.
