Siddharth Chaturvedi, Founder & MD, Boys and Machines said, “We have noticed a significant increase in the number of inquiries from cities such as Gwalior, Indore, Surat, Dehradun, Kanpur, Coimbatore, Vizag in the past few months. The demand from Tier-II and III cities is at an all-time high. Moreover, the number of female customers for pre-owned luxury cars has also seen a spike compared to previous years. 10-12 per cent of our total sales are from female buyers. Since the pandemic started, personal mobility is on rising. People with high disposable income have started splurging money on aspirational and lifestyle products.”

With the unlocking of states and businesses coupled with positive government policies, the pre-owned luxury car industry is estimated to grow significantly in 2022-23. However, the folks at Boys and Machines believe that it is necessary to organise the used-vehicle space first, which could become a major contributing factor to the growth of the economy, as well as contribute to the growth of the sector. Moreover, the company would soon introduce showrooms at new locations such as Indore, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, and Goa. It also provides a preview of its entire fleet of vehicles on its website, which can be accessed from any part of the country, allowing customers to explore all options before making a purchase.
