Guazi Used Cars
Chinese e-commerce company
Guazi, also known as Guazi Used Car or Guazi Used Cars (Chinese: 瓜子二手车; pinyin: Guāzǐ Èrshǒuchē), is a Chinese automotive e-commerce platform specializing in used vehicles. The service originated as Ganji Haoche, a used-car project launched by Ganji in 2014, and adopted the Guazi name and Guazi.com domain in September 2015. It operates as the used-car brand of Chehaoduo Group.
Guazi began with a consumer-to-consumer model connecting private vehicle sellers with individual buyers. Its operations later expanded to include physical retail, consumer-to-business online auctions, a business-to-consumer open platform, services for professional dealers, nationwide vehicle sourcing and logistics, and international services for dealers and importers. It therefore does not operate solely as a C2C marketplace.
Products and services
Guazi provides services for buying and selling used vehicles. Private sellers can submit vehicles for inspection and listing, while buyers can search vehicle information and compare available cars. Depending on the transaction channel, buyers may include private consumers, professional dealers, importers, rental businesses, showroom operators and fleet purchasers.
Vehicle display combines digital listings with vehicle-condition information, photographs and, for some vehicles or services, video and structured inspection reports.
