Subaru
in Australia has pioneered an internet-only sales process for its latest
release BRZ sports car - which sold out in just three hours!
Media reports indicate that the car was sold online because the company was
only allocated 201 cars for the Australian market, of which 50 had been bought
by dealerships as demonstrator models, and therefore decided to sell the
remainder online.
The online sales strategy may be cause for concern among Subaru’s 105
Australian dealers, who invest substantial amounts to establish and operate
their dealerships. However Subaru claims it has used the online approach on
this occasion so that customers could buy the sought-after BRZ, and then
collect it from their nearest dealer, rather than have dealers competing for an
allocation of the cars.
