At first, I went abroad twice a month, looking for new vehicles for sale. You can imagine how much time and money it took&#8221;, Claudio begins. &#8220;I then decided that I would do things differently and I went to look for a partner online. The seriousness and professionalism of CarsOnTheWeb, now OPENLANE, convinced me immediately&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Claudio mainly focuses on German car brands such as Audi, Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes. He offers his customers high-quality, reasonably priced cars that cost between 10,000 and 30,000 euros. He sells them via online channels to customers across the country. &#8220;Even during the pandemic caused by Covid-19, I continued to buy and sell. The market was at a standstill at that time. This created opportunities because the prices were very attractive. Now, everything is recovering and I see that prices are rising again&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row us_custom_60a0df3f via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:3rem;\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><blockquote>\n<p>The photos and descriptions are always right.

OPENLANE carefully examines each car. The descriptions are correct. The photos show the car as it really is. And if a problem arises or something doesn&#8217;t work, customer service provides a solution. Even if another platform would offer me a better price, I still would be loyal to OPENLANE,&#8221; concludes Claudio.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fourteen years ago, Claudio of Spazio Auto made a remarkable decision: the importer bought his cars online from then on from OPENLANE, which was then called CarsOnTheWeb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":50048,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17903","success-stories-b","type-success-stories-b","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v28.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Buyer success story: Spazio Auto, Italy \u2013 OPENLANE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Explore how Spazio Auto improved their vehicle purchasing process with OPENLANE.
