Get a quote in 3 seconds. [One-step Car Selling] may reshape the new standard for the used car trading.
[One-Step Car Selling] Achieve a 3-second quote and a 3-minute deal through the AI pricing engine, aiming to solve the pain points in high-quality private car transactions.
36Kr learned that "One-Step Car Selling", a high-speed trading platform for high-quality private cars based on industrial Internet, plans to conduct an angel round of financing of 6 million RMB. This round of financing is open to all investors. The financing will be mainly used for the construction of the first-phase outlets, and the company plans to complete the verification of the business model in a single-point city within 9 to 12 months.
"One-Step Car Selling" is operated by Hao Che Shi Dai (Chengdu) Technology Co., Ltd. The founder, Yang Dailin, has held middle and senior management positions in Toyota, Sumitomo Mitsui, and leading domestic used car finance groups, with 26 years of experience in the entire automotive industry chain. Other members either come from leading used car finance groups or graduated from the quantitative finance major of the National University of Singapore. After more than 4 years of product refinement, the company has developed a "super-automatic pricing engine" driven by data and AI, and launched the WeChat mini-program of "One-Step Car Selling".
The 300-billion-plus high-quality private car market is dominated by the "bad money" rule. [One-Step Car Selling] rebuilds efficiency and trust.
The annual transaction volume of the Chinese used car market has exceeded one trillion yuan, but there are still pain points such as low efficiency and lack of trust in the transaction process. Currently, the market is jointly dominated by individual car dealers (accounting for about 60%-70%), e-commerce platforms (about 15%-20%), and 4S stores (10%-15%). The traditional trading models generally have problems such as a long quotation cycle (an average of 2 days for e-commerce platforms), opaque information, and the risk of privacy leakage. "One-Step Car Selling" has achieved a breakthrough of a 3-second quote and a 3-minute deal through technological innovation, which is more than 10 times faster than the industry average. Its core advantages are reflected in three aspects: First, it adopts the "3-second quote + 3-minute deal + 0 privacy" model. Users can get an accurate quote instantly without providing any personal information, realizing a fixed-price, one-step car selling. Second, it has launched the industry's first "three guarantees" service for used cars, covering the return of odometer-tampered cars, the return of accident cars, and the warranty of core components. Third, it achieves customer acquisition with zero traffic cost through the light-asset expansion model of community car wash shops.
Empowering both the front and back ends, [One-Step Car Selling] plans to build a community chain of automotive soft services and a closed-loop for high-quality private car transactions.
The project's unique "technology + community" model currently has no direct competitors in the industry. Its business model draws on the development path of Gulliver, a Japanese used car giant that took 4 years to go public. One-Step Car Selling plans to empower community car wash shops to build a comprehensive service complex of software and hardware for "car washing + car insurance + used cars", creating an additional annual profit of 200,000 yuan for each franchise store, and ultimately forming a network of ten thousand chain stores. In terms of building the trading ecosystem, the platform empowers community car collection points at the front end through the super-automatic pricing engine and empowers retail car dealers at the back end through the "three guarantees" service, forming a complete industrial closed-loop.
Systematic innovation, [One-Step Car Selling] provides a new path to unlock the industry problems of information asymmetry and lack of trust.
Yang Dailin said, "We not only want to solve the problem of transaction efficiency but also reshape the trust system in the used car industry. Through technological means, we have reduced the quotation cost from about 50 yuan on average in the industry to less than one cent, which makes large-scale inclusive services possible." The founding team believes that the natural trust foundation of the community scenario combined with technological empowerment will effectively solve the "lemon market" problem in high-quality used car transactions.
Currently, the project has completed the development of the minimum viable product and is on the verge of a cold start. With the advancement of the first-phase outlet construction, One-Step Car Selling is expected to open up a new track in the 300-billion-plus high-quality private car trading market. Its innovative model provides a new solution for the transformation and upgrading of the used car industry through extreme efficiency improvement and trust reconstruction.
