FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is the Sale or Return programme?
Sale or Return (SOR) lets you stock and sell vehicles you don't own. Carous sources cars from private sellers or other dealers, you display and sell them as your own, and you only pay for the ones that sell. The rest are returned.
How does it reduce financial risk?
Because there's no upfront purchase, you're not tying up working capital or exposed to depreciation on unsold stock. You expand your range without the usual financial commitment.
Are there hidden fees?
No. The model is transparent: you pay for vehicles once they sell, within clearly agreed terms. Get in touch and we'll walk you through the specifics for your dealership.
Which vehicles are eligible?
A broad range of vehicles can be placed on consignment. We'll assess suitability with you to make sure the stock matches your customer demand.
