In recent years, the rapid development of the second-hand car industry has attracted the attention of many people. Although everyone envies the professional characteristics of used car appraisers with "high salary, decentness and free time", there are still many people who stereotypically think that used car appraisers are used car sales, and the employment direction is limited to the used car industry, worrying about finding a job.
With the gradual application of 5G, artificial intelligence and other technologies in the automotive field, the number of chips used in the automotive industry will continue to grow. New cars need to wait a long time, and some consumers say they will prefer to choose used cars that are in good condition and have no accidents, which has contributed to the increase in the price of used cars.
