Bukalapak Business Development Manager Gahayu Handari Ekaputri explained that the initial initiation of BukaMobil's launch was due to the high desire of the public to own a private car but was hindered by the difficulty of applying for a credit process and the high price of a car.

"Previously Bukalapak has sold new car units in the form of listings, but the process is not optimal. So, we provide a car purchase service with an easier process through the BukaMobil feature," he said DailySocial, Tuesday (14/3).

The procedure for submitting the user to go through is also quite easy. They only need to register an account with Bukalapak and have verified their email and phone number. Then, go to the BukaMobil page and click 'Choose your Dream Car' to fill in the further data form.

The choices of car brands available include Toyota, Honda, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Nissan, and Daihatsu. Users can also discuss further car installment plans with the Bukalapak team.

After that, the installment application will be processed immediately and the Bukalapak team will contact the user to confirm and notify the next process.

"For the development of its features, Bukalapak will certainly continue to strive to improve the convenience for Bukalapak users to get their dream car by adding additional features businesses, variations of cars being traded to attractive promos to be added value for users."

Gahayu hopes that through BukaMobil, users can feel the convenience of buying a new car according to the installment period of the user's choice and of course increasing car sales at Bukalapak.
