CARUPI operated as a managed peer-to-peer (C2C) digital marketplace for used vehicles, drawing parallels to Airbnb's model but within the automotive sector. The platform aimed to provide a secure and convenient experience for individuals buying and selling used cars from the comfort of their homes. Unlike unmanaged marketplaces like Craigslist, CARUPI offered end-to-end transaction management, acting as a concierge service. This included professional car photography at the seller's location, advertisement management, offer handling, insured transportation of the vehicle for at-home test drives, and management of all paperwork and payments. CARUPI differentiated itself from traditional dealerships and dealer-like companies by avoiding physical infrastructure and the need to maintain a car inventory.
