People are not any more visiting traditioal car dealer premises to select their car and then purchase a car in as earlier. Decision or car purchase on car leasing is made online ith digitalised systems. Dimishing share of  people want to own their car, but have a car ”as a total service” including repair and maintenance, motor insurance, tanking or charging service with their mobile apps.
