Why Buy New When You Can Buy Refurbished?

Forget all your preconceived notions about new and used cars. A used car is good, but it’s already been driven, whereas a refurbished second-hand car is better!

Manufacturers have long been content to post classified ads for used vehicles they took in exchange for new ones. Cars often left as-is, with traces of use on their bodies that are not very glamorous, and interior spaces that are tired, worn by time and passengers. But all of that is over! Now, you can buy a used car in like-new condition from any manufacturer. Only the speedometer can tell you that this car has already been driven.

To achieve this, Stellantis has developed its subsidiary Spoticar with ambitions similar to those of a manufacturer. Remanufacturing vehicles plays a major role in Stellantis’ ambitious goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2038, but it is also an integral part of the circular economy strategy by extending the lifespan of vehicles. Your Stellantis car stays with Stellantis, which means jobs for employees and full control over the highly lucrative spare parts sales!

The team at the Hordain refurbishing center (Hauts-de-France) prepared the 10,000th used car of 2023 on December 12. This symbolic milestone makes this site, opened in 2020, a flagship of manufacturer refurbishment in France.
