frontiercargroup

Frontier Car Group was a Berlin-based company (founded 2016 by Ricardo Donoso, Andre Kussmann and Daniel Esponda) that built and operated consumer-to-business (C2B) online marketplaces for used cars in emerging markets, including Cars45 (Nigeria), CarFirst (Pakistan), BeliMobilGue (Indonesia), and local brands in Chile, Mexico and Turkey. Sellers got instant online quotes, booked inspections at physical centers, and received competitive offers from a dealer network. The company raised roughly $553M and was acquired by OLX Group (Prosus/Naspers), where it was folded into the OLX Autos business. Its standalone domain (frontiercargroup.com) is no longer live and it exposes no public developer or API surface.
