Used car dealers can now take advantage of a 90 day trial of Epyx's 1link used fleet disposal network.

Any VAT-registered used car business can now use 1link Disposal Network without charge for 90 days – saving a normal £340 joining fee and a purchase cost of £50 per car.

David Goodyear, head of business development, said: “Several major leasing companies and other large fleets have signed up to the platform in 2015 and, as a result, volumes have more than doubled over the past year.

“This has prompted higher levels of interest from dealers who would like to use the platform and, to give them an experience of how well it works, we are inviting them to use it free of charge.

“As a result of growing volumes in the used car sector, fleets are increasingly managing how their defleeted cars and vans are released onto the market in order to preserve values.

“Because of the high level of control that it offers over using different disposal formats and channels, 1link Disposal Network is one of the key tools that they are using.

“Dealers are increasingly realising that some of the best used stock in the UK is being made available through the platform.”

1link Disposal Network is used by major fleets to manage the selling of defleet stock to traders and dealers through a wide variety of channels including online and auctions.
