40 bhp, first registered in March 1994, 102,446 miles - the Nissan Micra that car mechanic and master electrician Rainer Borchmann advertised as usual on the AUTOonline salvage exchange appeared rather plain to him. Little did the 40-year old Rhinelander know what special importance this car was about to gain. But his little Japanese car turned out to be a real surprise for Rainer Borchmann, who is a long-standing expert in the field.
Because when he advertised the car on 29 August 2006 at 7.11 pm and 19 seconds, the Nissan became the two millionth vehicle in the history of AUTOonline.This wasn't sheer coincidence, though, as Rainer Borchmann works for Allianz, an explicit proponent of Europe's leading online exchange. The passionate handball player has been using AUTOonline for many years now. And he was delighted when, at the end of August, he received a surprise visitor in Alfter, who delivered congratulations and flowers from AUTOonline.
"In view of its rapid growth, especially in recent years, the team of AUTOonline was confident that it would reach the milestone of two million car advertisement in the near future.We are delighted to have reached that milestone less than ten years after starting out," said Kai Siersleben, Managing Director, at the head office in Neuss, Germany.
In line with the AUTOonline slogan, "Every car's a winner", there was no doubt that the two millionth car advertised here would be a winner, too. With a replacement value of 650 Euros the Nissan achieved a residual value of 280 Euros. This also confirmed the assessment by insurance company Allianz that old cars can also achieve good prices. A mature performance. At the same time AUTOonline made the buyer, who happens to be from the same region, a winner, too. Because the Micra's gearbox and engine were particularly valuable to him.
Only the objective data gathered from so many vehicles enable AUTOonline and a team of scientists to jointly provided detailed analyses, whose results are of benefit not just to the exchange but also its customers.
Winners everywhere. That's AUTOonline.
