Carwow has launched a new “in-stock” feature which lets dealers upload their new car stock lists to the website for free.

The feature charges dealers a flat £250 fee when a stock car is sold, rather than them paying a fee in advance for uploading stock.

If customers are interested in a stock car, they can either enquire directly through the Carwow system or call the dealer, quoting a reference code displayed on the carwow.co.uk site.

Carwow says 30% of cars sold through its website are from models dealers already have in stock. Carwow has 50,000 car buyers registered to its website and says it helped sell 10,000 cars this year.
