CClicars
Clicars is a Spanish online marketplace for reconditioned/used cars, founded in 2016 in Madrid, offering vehicle sourcing, refurbishment, financing, and home delivery. It has sold over 85,000 cars and generated more than €1.5B in accumulated revenue; it was acquired by Aramis Group (a Stellantis subsidiary) in 2021/2022, so it now operates as a subsidiary rather than an independent VC-backed startup.
