New partnership with 1link Trade Buyer gives dealers easy access to thousands of additional trade vehicles

A partnership agreed between two leading providers in the wholesale vehicle sector promises to give used car dealers fast and simple access to thousands of trade vehicles.  

NextGear Capital, the wholesale funding specialist, and online auction platform 1link Trade Buyer have joined forces to help trade buyers source and fund stock in just a few clicks. 

The new arrangement means NextGear Capital customers can instantly add vehicles purchased on epyx’s 1link Trade Buyer to their Stocking Plan, easing the buying process and opening up the platform to them as a stock source.  

Darren Mornin, Managing Director NextGear Capital, comments: “Stock acquisition can be time-consuming and challenging, with most dealers now turning to multiple sources to fill their forecourts. We want to help ease this burden, and adding 1link Trade Buyers to our network of over 70 trade sources is a good example of how we’re doing this. Our customers tell us they want to use their stocking plans to buy the vehicles they need without restrictions on where they can buy from, and with thousands of ex-fleet cars and vans flowing through 1link every week, this is now another compelling source they can enjoy.”  

Tim Meadows, CCO, epyx, adds: “NextGear Capital has a great reputation across the wholesale motor finance and used vehicle sectors, and we are very pleased to be working with them on this project.  

“We’re always looking to add new facilities for users of 1link Trade Buyer. Being able to access stocking finance in this manner makes buying vehicles from the platform as easy as possible for our dealer community. Literally, all they have to do is click on a button and everything else is taken care of.” 

To mark the launch of this partnership, new dealers who join 1link Trade Buyer and have a NextGear Capital account will receive their first buyer fee for free.

Additionally, 1link Trade Buyer customers who want to explore funding options can benefit from a special promotion: new NextGear Capital dealers with a 1link Trade Buyer account can fund their first vehicle with zero load fees.
