Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to identify the differences of customer preference in online and offline used car business. Conjoint analysis is used for examining the attributes of used car choices. As a result, the order of importance in real used car market is as follows: brand, design, price, model, mileage. Whereas the order of importance in online used car market is as follows: brand, trust, price, web design, accident. Accordingly, the author suggested that customer preferences depend on the path people are approaching and the attributes of preference vary in online and real stores. For example, trust and accident are important attributes in online market in comparison with real market. Used car market is increasing and becoming important. The authorities and practitioners need to understand used car market and establish the related policies.

본 연구는 중고차 시장에 있어서 온라인 및 오프라인 거래시 고객의 선호도 차이를 확인해 보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 컨조인트 기법을 이용하여 중고차 거래시 중요한 영향을 미치는 속성에 대한 조사를 실행하였다. 컨조인트 분석은 개별 제품이나 서비스를 구성하는 여러 속성 중 가치있는 것을 판별하는 데에 적합한 기법이다. 연구결과 오프라인 시장에서의 중고차 거래시에는 제조사, 차종, 가격, 연식, 주행거리의 순으로 중요도가 높았으며, 온라인 시장에서는 제조사, 신뢰, 가격, 웹사이트 구성, 사고 여부의 순으로 중요도가 높게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 중고차 거래시 구매경로에 따라 고객의 선호 속성이 다르게 나타나는 점과 각 구매경로별로 중요한 속성에 대한 관심과 주의가 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 중고차 시장이 신차 시장 못지 않게 중요한 시장으로 성장하고 있는 현실을 감안할 때 향후 중고차 시장에 대한 이해를 통해 사업구상이나 정책 개발 등으로 이어질 필요가 있을 것이다.
