As a used car professional, buying a bulk of vehicles can be an interesting alternative for stronger needs of stock. It is also useful if you are looking for multiple models of the same vehicles.

 

What are they?

Bulk sales are special offers composed of multiple vehicles. The particularity is that all vehicles are the same, including caracteristics. Like any other vehicle sold on our platform MotorTrade, they are all coming from end-of-lease contracts at Arval.

On offers, you can often find professional vans alongside personal vehicles. Be on the lookout for offers which answers your current needs.

Here, vehicles are sold only by full truck, the size of the bulk varies due to the size of the concerned vehicles. For example, if you purchase professional vans, each bulk will come with three vehicles whereas if it’s some sedan, the truck with be composed of around seven vehicles.

Purchasing vehicles by bulk can help you fulfill a higher demand on a specific vehicle on your market.
