FATCAR can use combinations such as Honda Vezel + Mazda 5, BMW 116d + BMW 323i, Toyota Wish + Mazda 5 and larger multi-car packages as dealer-focused offers.
Why Does Dealer Bundle Vehicles?
The main advantage is not simply getting “more cars.” A dealer bundle can help create a more useful inventory mix. For example, a package may combine:
- A crossover with an MPV
- A newer model with a lower-cost secondary vehicle
- Two vehicles from the same brand
- A high-demand vehicle with an affordable additional unit
This gives the dealer more than one opportunity to generate a sale from the same purchasing cycle.
Think in Terms of Dealer Margin
Dealers should not choose a bundle simply because the package price looks attractive. Each vehicle still needs to make sense in the destination market. Before confirming a bundle, calculate:
Total vehicle cost + export preparation + shipping + destination charges + duties + expected repair costs.
Then compare that figure with realistic resale prices. A package is useful only when the combined numbers still give the dealer enough room to operate profitably.
Choose Vehicles That Serve Different Buyers
A good dealer package should have a reason behind it. For example, combining an SUV or crossover with a practical family MPV may allow the dealer to target two different customer groups. Another strategy is to combine two vehicles from the same manufacturer for dealers whose customers already know and trust that brand.
Confirm Shipping Before Advertising Your Margin
Importers should never assume that buying two vehicles automatically cuts shipping costs in half. Shipping depends on the vehicle dimensions, route, loading method and logistics provider. The correct approach is to obtain the shipping quotation first and then calculate the real cost per vehicle.
Dealer Packages Should Remain Flexible
The best bundle is not necessarily the package already advertised. Dealers may have specific demand for a certain:
- Brand
- Model
- Year
- Fuel type
- Seating configuration
- Price range
FATCAR’s sourcing service can allow buyers to request vehicles based on market demand rather than relying only on displayed examples.
Build Inventory Around Demand
For professional dealers, the goal is not simply to import the cheapest vehicles available. The goal is to build inventory that can be sold.
A well-planned dealer package can offer greater variety while keeping the purchasing process simple — provided every vehicle in the package fits the dealer’s market.
