Development History

273 Used Car Trading Network (*, abbreviation: 273) was founded in 2003, and is one of the earliest professional used car trading websites in China, as well as a leading used car trading service platform.

In September 2003, the 273 website was established, with the name 273 meaning "used car service provider".

In April 2005, offline used car trading was launched, exploring a single-store operation model.

In September 2007, the first direct-operated store was established in Fuzhou, confirming the "no price difference" business model and starting the construction of a direct-operated chain system.

In November 2009, expansion into markets outside Fujian, such as Zhejiang, began.

In October 2014, chain stores covered more than 120 cities in 21 provinces (autonomous regions/municipalities directly under the central government), with over 700 stores nationwide.

Business System

Used Car Brokerage Services

273 pioneered the "no price difference" used car brokerage model, where the transaction price is determined through face-to-face negotiation between the buyer and seller. 273 provides intermediary services and handles procedures such as ownership transfer, charging only a service commission, allowing the price difference to benefit both parties.

Chekuang Bao Inspection System

Chekuang Bao is a brand under 273, holding nationally approved used car appraisal and assessment qualifications and personnel credentials. It is the first institution in China to provide consumers with services for judging used car accidents and assessing vehicle condition, and it also offers mobile door-to-door inspection services.

Operating System

After nearly 10 years of development, 273 has formed an operating system that integrates website, chain stores, and customer service center into a "three-network integration". With the accelerated development of the used car industry, the efficient synergy and virtuous cycle of the "three-network integration" provide strong momentum and support for the rapid development of 273.
