Currently, classifieds are the primary avenue for car sellers, but CCI is much more than that—our dedicated team manages everything from lead filtration to deal closure, along with loan financing, insurance, logistics, and RTO processes for the seller. At the same time, for buyers, we ensure cars of the highest quality, seamless nationwide delivery, and dedicated after-sales service, also offering optional extended warranties on used cars.”
