The Corona-crisis, the German economy grew strongly shaken, but the long-term effects are not yet discernible. Even if the dealerships were allowed to open at the end of April, under strict conditions, the automotive industry is one of the most severely impacted industries. But every crisis also offers a Chance.

The pandemic was, and remains, a shock to the economy as a whole. Of course, the automotive trade in March and April, has suffered break-ins.

The majority of those who had planned to buy a car, want to continue to perform directly or to a maximum of three months to move.

So, back to the Old one? Not quite. The way we buy cars and sell has changed. And also the vehicles which the drivers are looking for in this country especially.

The buying interest is still there, even the purchase intentions are affected by the crisis only marginally. A recent survey shows.

On the other hand we have asked our users what their buying intentions and also the interest in the car buying and selling continues to be present, 59 per cent did not want to postpone the purchase of cars because of the crisis. Of those who wait, but rather wants to buy every second (51 percent) of prospective buyer at the latest within 2-3 months after the crisis a new car. About the experts
