2012-2014
1. INTRODUCTION
Automotive industry is one of the larger markets in the world. It is one of the firmestrising markets in
the world especially in India. The automobile industry, one of the core sectors, has
undertakenconversion with advent of new business, technology and manufacturing technique in the
presence of globalization and liberalization the sector seems to be optimistic of posting strong sales in
the next few years in view of a reasonable rush in demand. India is one of the worlds largest
automobile industries. Easy accessibility of finance and growing income levels are inspiring the middle
class population to upgradetheir two wheelers to a car or to purchase new car or two wheelers. Besides,
the increasing organized used car market has also been a positive development factor in the used car
market of the country. Now there are lot of un organized and organized players to promote this
segment.
India is now becoming a manufacturing midpoint of high-end vehicles meant for transfer to China
recently ford has started one engineering unit in Chennai. The US-based motorbike maker Harley
Davidson, Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM and Mahindra & Mahindra have also favored to set
up manufacturing facilities in India than in the relatively low-cost China and export the production.
Indias vehicle manufacturing is stands in sixth position in the world with an annual
manufacturingof 3.9 million units in 2011. Currently India is the 3rd largest exporter of car in Asia.
As of 2010, India accommodating 40 million passenger vehicles. More than 3.7 million automotive
vehicles were produced in India in 2010 (an increase of 33.9%), making the country the second (after
China) fastest growing automobile market in the world in that year. According to the Society of Indian
2012-2014
Automobile Manufacturers, annual vehicle sales are projected to increase to 4 million by 2015, no
longer 5 million as formerly projected.
The majority of India's car manufacturing industry is based around three areas in the west, south, and
north.Chennai is the major with 35% of the revenue share in the southern hub. The western hub
near Mumbai and Pune provides to 33% of the market and the northern hub around the National
Capital Region contributes 32%. Chennai, houses the major processes of all big car manufactures.
Chennai accounts for 60% of the country's automotive exports.
Gurgaon and Manesar in Haryana form the northern cluster where the country's largest car
manufacturer,Maruti Suzuki, is founded.The Chakan corridor near Pune, Maharashtra is the western
cluster with companies like , Skoda, Mahindra and Mahindra, Tata Motors, General Motors,
Volkswagen Mercedes Benz, Land Rover, Jaguar Cars, Fiat and Force Motors having assembly plants
in the area. Nashik has a major base of Mahindra and Mahindra with a SUV assembly unit and an
Engine assembly unit.Aurangabad with Skoda and Volkswagen also forms part of the western cluster.
Another emerging cluster is in the state of Gujaratwith manufacturing facility of General
Motors in Halol and further planned for Tata Nano at their plant in Sanand. Ford, Maruti Suzuki
andPeugeot-Citroen plants are also set to come up in Gujarat.
In India, the automobile industry themselfprovides straight employment to more than 5 lakh persons. It
pays 4.8 per cent to Indias GDP and 19 per cent to Indias indirect tax revenue. Till early 1980s, there
were very limited players in the Indian auto sector like Hindustan motors, Premier etc, which was
suffering from low volumes of production, outdated and deficient technologies. With de-licensing in
the 1980s and opening up of this sector to FDI in 1993, the sector has developed rapidly due to the
entry of global players.
A quickly growing middle class, rising per capita incomes and comparatively easier availability of
finance have been driving the vehicle demand in India, which in turn, has prompted the government to
invest at extraordinary levels in roads infrastructure, including projects such as Golden Quadrilateral
and North-East-South-West Corridor with feeder roads.
2012-2014
The above statistics explains the situation of new cars in Indian market. However, used cars are
also being sold like hotcakes. Used car segment has emerged as one of the major industries in India.
According to a latest analysis, the yearly used-car demand in the Indian market is around 1.4 million
cars. To benefit from the flourishing trend, leading organized manufacturers like AutomartindiaLtd and
Maruti's True Value have made a venture into the used- car business. Unlike other unorganized
companies, they offer guarantee of accurate ownership and accident certification to their customers and
sellers along with superior quality and benefits like warranty period and free repair services. In the past
few years around 55 latest used cars models have been launched in India. Many car owners want to
replace their present vehicles with the newer brands. Thus used-car market has been generating large
revenue. There are various criteria applied in the market in selling of the used-cars. Any person
thinking to buy used-car does so primarily with the intention of investing fewer amounts which
otherwise he would have to pay for the newer-one. Predominantly, the pricing consideration is based on
the year of make according to the market trend. Of course other factors are also involved in the entire
process of the transaction.

Study carried out by journal of consumer affairs exploresthe relationship between reliability
and price in the used car market. Some of the measurement concerns, articulated by others in pricequality studies of new products, are absent because of the choice of the secondary data sources from
which the relationships were formed. The finding obtained from this study is showing that depreciation
is free of reliability performance raises a number of public policy issues regarding the information
efficiency of the used car market.
According to the study carried out by American economic association, in that study the
researcher was studying that whether secondary market help or harm durable goods manufacturers,
they build a dynamic model of durable goods oligopoly with different transaction costs in the
secondary market. Adjusting model parameters using data from the US automobile industry, and the
researcher find the net effect of the secondary market is to decrease new car manufacturers' profits by
35 percent.
Hau Lee and SeungjinWhang conducted a study The Impact of the Secondary Market on
the Supply Chain in that study they investigate the impacts of a secondary market where resellers can
sell and buyextra inventories. They develop a two-period model with a single manufacturer and many
resellers. At the beginning of the first period resellers receive and order products from the
Manufacturer, but at the starting of the second period, they can trade inventories between themselves in
the secondary market. Research peopleendogenously originate the optimal results for the resellers,
along with the equilibrium market price of the secondary market. The secondarymarket generates two
interdependent effectsa quantity effect and an allocation effect. The former is unspecified; i.e., the
total sales volume for the manufacturer may rise or fall, depending on the critical fractile. The latter is
always positive; i.e., the secondary market always advancesallocative efficiency. The sum of the effects
is also indistinctthe welfare of the supply chain may or may not increase as a result of the secondary
market.

Adverse Selection in the wholesale used car market a study carried out by David
Genesove in this research researcher is empirically investigating of adverse selection in the whole sale
used car market. New car dealers differ from used car dealers in the inclination to sell trade- ins on the
wholesale market. Models of adverse selection recommend that the dealers type that sells a higher
proportion of its trade ins on the wholesale market will sell, on average, cars of higher excellence and
accept in return a higher price. A survey of dealers whole sale behavior and price collected at a whole
sale auction are used to this prediction
James Berkovec conducted a study entitled New car sales and used car stocks: a model of
the automobile market in this study he tried to develops a short run general equilibrium model of the
automobile market by joining a separate choice model of consumer automobile demand with simple
models of new automobile manufacturing and used vehicle scrappage. The theoretical model allows an
unlimited degree of heterogeneity of both consumers and automobiles, with equilibrium defined as
combined demand equal to supply for every vehicle type. Econometric estimates of the scrappage and
demand function are then used to create a simulation model of the automobile market, which is used to
provide forecast of automobile sales, stocks and scrappage for the 1978-1990 period.
"The Market for Lemons: Quality Uncertainty and the Market Mechanism" is a 1970 paper by
the economist George Akerlof. It deliberates information irregularity, which occurs when the seller
knows more about a product than the buyer. A lemon is an American slang term for a car that is found
to be faulty only after it has been bought. Akerlof, Michael Spence, and Joseph Stiglitz together
received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2001 for their research connected to

asymmetric information. Akerlof's paper uses the marketfor used cars as an example of the problem of
quality vagueness. It concludes that owners of good cars will not place their cars on the used car
market. This is sometimes summarized as "the bad driving out the good" in the market.
45

Used goods are one that is being purchased by or otherwise transferred to a second or later end user. A
used good can also simply mean it is no longer in the same condition as it was when transferred to the
current owner. Used goods may be transferred informally between friends and family for free as "handme-downs". Governments require some used goods like cars to be sold through regulated markets, as in
the case of items which have safety and legal issues; for these items, government licensing bodies
require certification and registration of the sale, to prevent the sale of stolen, unregistered, or unsafe
cars. And also governments regulate used car sales to ensure that the government gets its sales tax
revenue from the sale.
So this study helps to understand the comparative demand of used cars of Maruti Suzuki,
Hyundai, and Toyota cars in secondary market and also to find out the customer preference on various
supply chain of secondary market and also to find out the predominant supply chain of Maruti Suzuki,
Hyundai, Toyota in secondary car market.

5.3 CONCLUSION
Used car can benefit the purchaser as the price paid is lower than the same items bought new. If the
reduction in price more than compensates for the possibly shorter remaining lifetime, lack of warranty,
and so on, there is a net benefit.
Buying used cars reduces carbon footprint and CO2 emissions significantly compared to the complete
product life cycle, because of less production, raw material sourcing and logistics.
From this research we can understand that the most demanded car in the used car market is Maruti
Suzuki compare to Hyundai and Toyota. We can also understand that most of the secondary car owners
income is less than 4 lakh per annum.
From this research we can also find out that majority of people are purchasing their used car from
company owned used car show rooms and also they are more like to sell their cars to direct buyers.
From this we can understand that cars from seller to company owned used car showroom then to
customer then to direct buyers this is how mainly the flow of used car is happening in secondary car
market.
From this study we can understand that most people are purchasing second hand Maruti Suzuki and
Hyundai cars from company owned used car showroom. where as in the case of Toyota people are
more interested to purchase their car from unauthorized used car show rooms and they are like to sell
their car to direct buyers .
From this study we can also understand that Majority of car dealers are having criteria for selecting car
to be sold and the main criteria are colour of the car, model of the car, the place of registration of car,
body shape of the car etc

5.2 SUGGESTION
For customers
It is better to purchase used car because it reduces carbon footprint and CO2 emissions
significantly compared to the complete product life cycle, because of less production, raw
material sourcing and logistics.
It is better to purchase Maruti Suzuki cars for reselling because Maruti Suzuki cars has got lot
of demand in the secondary car market
Customers can sell their car through internet because through internet they can easily find out
direct buyers.
For customers it is better to purchase Maruti Suzuki cars because they can easily sell it off
Used car market players should concentrate more on IT professional and other professionals
like Doctors and lawyers because they are not like to buy used cars compare to other people
Hyundai Company and Toyota Company should concentrate more in secondary car market
because Maruti Suzuki is doing extremely well in secondary car market.
Secondary car buyers are more preferring company owned showrooms for purchasing the used
car. So the other players like Brokers, unauthorized cars showrooms, internet sites and direct
sellers should adopt new attractive strategies in order to attract the customer who is going to
company owned showroom.
92
2012-2014
Car owners are more interested to sell their car to direct buyer because they have the perception
that they will get more money if they are selling to direct buyer. So other players like brokers,
company owned showrooms etc. should introduce new strategies to attract the sellers.
The unauthorized used car showroom should make contact with company owned used car
showrooms to sell their cars. So that they can increase their sales.
People are not much concerned about theextended warranty of used car so the used car dealers
can avoid that option for the used cars.
People are much concerned about the price of the car. So if the used car seller are ready to give
any discounts then they can attract lot of customers.
People are more purchasing 1 year to 5 years old car so for used car sellers it is better to hold 1
year old to 5 years old car for selling.
For selling Hyundai, Toyota cars sellers should adopt some more promotional techniques.
Presently direct sellers are the main source of cars for used car dealers. Instead of direct sellers
they can take cars from police station by auction or from private financiers by auction.
In order to increase the sales unauthorized and authorized used car dealers can give their
advertisement internet.
