Next, the server 1 identifies and reads out the vehicle sale information of the registration number “09011” in FIG. 5 registered in the sale-desired user information registration unit 24, for example, by the specified URL, and the public information generation unit 26 4 minimum information 52 is generated (S05).

Next, the server 1 sends the vehicle sales information 51 shown in FIG. 4 including the above-mentioned minimum information 52 and the short advertisement comment 53 to the mobile phone 11 of the user who wishes to purchase (S06). 4 is displayed on the display unit 11a, and inquiry information 61 as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the next page of the vehicle sales information 51 in FIG.

The user who wishes to purchase the vehicle sale information 51 shown in FIG. 4 receives the vehicle sale information 51 and sees the vehicle sale information 51. If the user wishes to purchase and wants to register (S07), he selects the Yes button 63 shown in FIG. Then, the purchase request information of the purchase request user is transmitted to the server 1 by clicking (S08). Thereby, the purchase request information is registered in the purchase request user information registration unit 25 in FIG. 2 in association with the registration number “09011” in FIG. 5 (S09).

Next, when the purchase request information is registered as described above, the purchase request information is transmitted from the server 1 to the mobile phone 15 or the personal computer 16 of the user who wants to sell (S10). As a result, the user who wants to sell can know that the person who wants to purchase the vehicle 40 has appeared.

If registration is not desired in step S07, information indicating that registration is not desired is transmitted to the server 1 by selecting and clicking the No button 64 in FIG. 6, and the purchase request information is not registered. The purchase procedure by the user who wishes to purchase does not progress and ends.

Further, when the purchase request information is registered in the purchase request user information registration unit 25 in step S09, the server 1 sends an e-mail to the purchase request user so as to register the personal information. By inputting personal information (name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, etc.) and transmitting to the server 1, the personal information of the user who wants to purchase is registered in the user information registering unit 25 for purchasing the user. The personal information of the user who wants to purchase may be configured to be transmitted and registered when the purchase request information of the user who wants to purchase is transmitted to the server 1 in step S08.

As described above, when a user who wishes to sell the vehicle 40 wishes to sell the vehicle 40, a user who wishes to sell appears, and thereafter, negotiations regarding sales conditions (purchase conditions) between the user who wants to sell and the user who wants to purchase are started. This negotiation may be carried out by an operator of the vehicle sales brokerage system, but may be carried out directly by both parties.

Next, steps S11 to S18 from the negotiation between the user who wants to sell and the user who wants to purchase after step S10 in FIG. 7 to the contract will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

The user who wishes to purchase browses the vehicle sales information of FIG. 5 registered in the user information registration unit 24 for sale of the server 1 with the mobile phone 11 or the like (S11). The browsing of the vehicle sale information registered in the server 1 by the purchase requesting user may be limited so that only the purchase requesting user who registered the purchase request information in step S09 in FIG.

Next, when the purchase-requesting user needs other information (S12), the fact is transmitted from the purchase-requesting user's mobile phone 11 to the server 1, and the sale-requesting user or the vehicle sales brokerage system operator Information is prepared and presented by sending it to the mobile phone 11 of the user wishing to purchase via the Internet (S13). Other information includes, for example, a copy of vehicle verification and a vehicle evaluation document by a third party regarding the vehicle, but is not limited thereto. In step S12, for example, the user who wants to purchase may apply for a test ride or rental of the vehicle. In this case, the user who wants to sell responds to the test ride or rental of the vehicle in step S13.

Next, the user wishing to purchase presents the vehicle purchase conditions by inputting them into the mobile phone 11 and transmitting them to the server 1 (S14). Purchase conditions include incidental conditions such as purchase amount and delivery time.

If the user wishing to sell after receiving the purchase conditions agrees to the purchase conditions (S15), the contract is established (S18), but if the agreement is not reached (S15), it is determined whether or not to continue the negotiation. If the negotiation is continued, the purchase condition or the sale condition is re-presented (S17), and if the two agree, the contract is established (S18). Negotiations in steps S15 to S17 can be performed by transmission / reception by a mobile phone or a personal computer via the Internet.

As described above, according to the vehicle sales mediation system of the present embodiment, a user wishing to purchase in various parking lots or the like sees the vehicle and knows that the vehicle is scheduled to be sold by viewing the display sticker 41 in FIG. When the user is interested in purchasing the vehicle, the sales information of the vehicle can be obtained on the spot by simply photographing the two-dimensional barcode 43 of the display sticker 41 with the camera unit 11i of the mobile phone 11. Since it can be viewed immediately, a parking lot or the like can be used instead of an exhibition hall for used cars. Therefore, unlike conventional used car sales business, it is no longer necessary to purchase and display used cars, so it combines the problems of used car inventory with existing cars and the need to secure a large space for the exhibition hall. Can be solved.

In addition, users who wish to purchase can view the sale information of the vehicle on the spot simply by looking at the vehicle to be sold at a parking lot or the like and operating the mobile phone, so it is possible to easily and quickly know the vehicle sale information. The decision as to whether or not to proceed with the purchase procedure can be made relatively quickly. In addition, since users who wish to purchase do not go to the exhibition hall, there is no problem of access to the exhibition hall.

Further, since it is not necessary for the user who wants to sell the vehicle to sell it to a used car dealer, the vehicle can be used until it is delivered to the user who wants to purchase.

In addition, used car dealers do not buy and sell used cars as in the past, but the operator of the vehicle sales brokerage system only mediates the buying and selling of vehicles, and there is no intermediary margin and only a brokerage fee is required Therefore, the user who wants to sell can sell the vehicle at a relatively high price, and the user who wants to purchase can purchase the vehicle at a relatively low price.
