If you live in California or a state bordering California you are in for some good news. A startup called Beepi has started offering shipping to customers that use it’s car buying service for a flat rate. This is good news as their primary service allows for purchasing and selling of cars online and they have built up quite a large market. Extending their service with shipping means more customers for them and more options for you:
About six months ago, a new startup called Beepi launched to become the easiest way for users to buy and sell cars online, building a marketplace that guarantees the quality of vehicles while also ensuring sellers get a fair price.
Now the company is opening up its marketplace to a wider area of buyers, introducing a “Prime” option in states neighboring California to have cars shipped to them for $999.
Beepi simplifies the process of selling a car by sending an inspector to verify the quality of the vehicle being listed and to set a guaranteed selling price. That price will be more than what sellers will get from taking a car to a dealership, and if the car doesn’t sell to one of Beepi’s customers within 30 days, the company will buy it for the listed price and sell the car itself.
For buyers, Beepi provides a fair price but also the peace of mind that comes from its inspection process and money-back guarantee. Its technicians do an intensive 185-point inspection and if a car doesn’t pass, it doesn’t get listed. The marketplace also offers a 10-day, no-questions-asked return policy and a three-month, 3,000-mile warranty on all parts and service.
Beepi launched in the San Francisco Bay Area, and saw a fair amount of success there. But it recently expanded to Los Angeles, which is the largest car market in the U.S.
Those two cities by themselves offer a fairly liquid supply of cars, but Beepi wanted to expand its potential market of buyers. As a result, it’s now launching a service called Beepi Prime that will enable buyers from outside those markets to purchase cars and have them delivered.
Beepi Prime offers delivery to 140 cities in Arizona, Nevada and Oregon, opening up the company’s marketplace to states neighboring California. For $999, buyers in those states can have a vehicle delivered within five days and receive the same service as the company’s local customers. (Buyers in California still receive free shipping anywhere in the state.) Peer-To-Peer Auto Marketplace Beepi Adds A Prime Option, Now Shipping To 140 Cities
