October 02, 2007 -- According to a market analysis carried out by TNS Infratest Automotive, four million car owners in Germany have already bought car spare parts over the Internet, and approximately 45 percent of all car owners would consider this way of buying spares in the future. During the course of the analysis, Ebay emerged as the favorite search engine. For this reason, Bosch Automotive Tradition has launched a new Ebay shop where buyers can find Bosch spare parts as well as services for old-timers and newer models. The platform in german language only is operated by a service provider and establishes contact between people searching for spares and the workshops of the Bosch Service organization, as well as wholesalers. The new "Bosch Klassik Teilevermittlung" ("Bosch Classic Parts Finder") online platform provides owners of old-timers and newer models with a quick and easy solution for searching and buying rare Bosch spare parts. The shop is now open at http://stores.ebay.de/Bosch-Klassik-Teilevermittlung

"Bosch Klassik Teilevermittlung" offers new parts for classic cars as well as expertly reconditioned components. In addition, Bosch Automotive Tradition partners offer identical spare parts, if these are no longer available from Bosch. Customers can also obtain many kinds of special services to do with classical cars, such as restorations or evaluations. The range of offers is rounded off with classic Bosch automobilia and historic advertising material and memorabilia. Sales are handled by a service provider who also maintains the attractive product range and ensures the shop's consistently high level of service quality.

The online search is very easy: after entering the part number or a part description in combination with the corresponding car model, the 18 shop categories are searched for results. Alternatively, the stocks of individual shop categories, ranging from specific parts categories to historic advertising material and memorabilia, can be displayed.
