Our position
A trade-in is a purchase decision made under sales pressure. Without a structured appraisal and a reconditioning estimate, the allowance is a negotiation tactic and the margin is discovered months later.
Appraisal, recon estimate and approved allowance become one record — and the used unit enters inventory with its real cost attached.

Next step
Trade-in: is it costing you more than you can see?
A working session on this module alone — your VINs, your branches, your numbers. We show the workflow, then tell you what would have to change operationally before it would hold.
What the session covers
Trade-in as your team would run it
The workflow configured against how your operation works today, not a generic demonstration.
The numbers it moves
Which of your operating metrics this module changes, and how quickly they would move.
What would have to change first
An honest read on the process and ownership changes this module depends on.
