Used-car sales get a boost from rapid development of e-commerce

BEIJING - Fast developing e-commerce has helped boost sales of used cars in China, as the online second-hand market gains in quality and variety.

The country's largest used car e-commerce platform, Uxin Ltd launched its initial public offering on the Nasdaq last Wednesday. Its market capitalization stood at $2.97 billion.

Dai Kun, founder of Uxin, said the online market for used cars should focus on establishing a product standardization system to give customers confidence in purchasing used cars, like shopping for other products online.
