Common questions

Where do the values come from?

Live comparable listings via MarketCheck, mileage-adjusted, with a CarAPI fallback for VIN specs. Coverage can be thinner on rare trims — you can appraise without the trim for a broader read.

Does the customer see my cost?

No. Internal cash/trade ranges stay with the rep; the customer only sees the clean summary you choose to print.

What does it cost?

Trade appraisal is part of Intelligence by MarketSync, included with DealerOS, which also includes the VIN decoder and factory window stickers.
