Motor Connect boss Steve Corwood shared his views on selling cars in the extremely competitive digital age this week on the Car Dealer Podcast.
His business is gearing up for the next step in taking on the big boys, with plans to make retailing used cars more efficient that will be launched in the near future.
Corwood runs the independent used car dealership based in Northwich but it has always been really focused on the online market.
It was a fitting week to get him on the show to guest judge the Car Dealer Quiz, as more news emerges from the likes on Motorpoint, Cinch and Cazoo about online car retailing and home delivery.
The week also saw used car prices continue to climb and new developments from the likes of Carwow, who acquired part-exchange platform Wizzle.
