Vehicle Valuations and Market Pricing

Keep Prices Competitive and Margins High

The Challenge: In an era of shrinking margins and growing customer knowledge, dealers can focus on simply turning high volumes of inventory to maximize overall profits. Managing inventory without an integrated pricing and appraisal strategy, however, can leave money on the table, cars on the lot and customers looking elsewhere.

How We Solve It: Connect Vehicle Valuations and Connect Market Pricing combine third-party market data with real-time pricing data from your market to tell dealers what customers demand from the market, helping dealerships appraise smartly and price competitively to optimize margins.

Better Together: Work smarter, not harder, on pricing and appraisal strategy with real-time integrations across the Cox Automotive family of solutions. With data from Autotrader, dealers get the customer-focused insights that will drive success at the dealership.

What Makes Us Different?

Appraisals with Buyers in Mind

Improve your stocking strategy by using customer data in Connect CRM . Know which customers are looking for a vehicle like the one you’re appraising before you ever make an offer, and compare your dealership’s sales history with that specific make and model to produce an appraisal value that will lead to a quick turnaround sale.

Attention-Grabbing Pricing

Use pricing data from your market and available rates and incentives, which are integrated into Connect Market Pricing, to price your inventory at rates your customers won’t be able to ignore — without sacrificing your margins.

Powerful Data Integrations

Harness the power of Autotrader data through the fully integrated Connect Market Pricing, which allows you to understand how dealers in your area are pricing vehicles similar to those in your inventory.
