TOKYO -- Agasta Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Japan's automobile trading firm Carchs Holdings Co., Ltd., has added second-hand South Korean vehicles to its lineup of products in its PicknBuy24.com online shop for used Japanese automobiles.
The additional service got off the ground after LOTTE Rental Co., Ltd., a unit of South Korea's biggest conglomerate, and Carchs Holdings, a major Japanese used car dealer, formed a business alliance.
With a track record of more than 20 years, PicknBuy24.com has already provided used vehicles to more than 30,000 customers in 80 countries, including those in South America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and Russia.
A grand opening ceremony for the "new" PicknBuy24.com was held at the Korea Lotte Auction venue to highlight the new partnership between the companies on April 23.
Carchs aims to be the No.1 worldwide car provider in the near future by having over one million vehicles displayed on the website.
It said PicknBuy24.com allows customers to buy globally-acclaimed Japanese and South Korean used vehicles around the world that are "hard to break down" and "more fuel- efficient," among other features.
As the online shop lists information on both right-hand- and left-hand-drive vehicles, people can easily search and buy their favorite vehicles suitable for their countries.
The website also lists information not only on passenger cars but on buses, trucks, and construction machines used for civil engineering and building work.
An online video on PicknBuy24.com has also been released to jumpstart its new Korean line of products. The red T-shirt worn in the video is an item to be given as a gift to customers, who would buy second-hand vehicles from the online store. (Kyodo JBN/Carchs Holdings Co., Ltd./AsiaNet)
