We've created two simple widgets that offer value to your website visitors and in turn generate high quality leads from consumers you know are in the market to buy. We're excited to announce two great new tools for generating high quality leads on your dealer website: Appraisal Express, and Appraisal Express Plus.

 

 Appraisal Express

Appraisal Express is a quick and easy trade-in appraisal tool that can be plugged in to any dealer website.

• Buyer instantly receives trade value
• Show vehicle’s exact value or value range
• Vehicle condition valuation can be predetermined or selected by buyer
• Powered by NADA

Appraisal Express can be easily embedded on any dealer website, and the leads can be sent to any CRM. Choose from a variety of pre-designed graphics and banners, and determine where you'd like it placed on your website. Appraisal Express provides a great incentive for website visitors to submit lead information to you.

 

 

Appraisal Express Plus

Appraisal Express Plus takes Appraisal Express a step further. Combining the best features of Appraisal Express our industry-leading online credit tool Instant Auto Credit App, Appraisal Express Plus uses NADA values and soft pull technology to take consumers through the initial steps of the buying process in a setting where they are most comfortable- from their home computer or any mobile device.

Your customer:

• Receives trade value, equity, and payoff
• Learns their credit score and max loan amount

And YOU get a high quality lead complete with CB score and trade-in info from a customer who is in the market to buy and is already involved in the buying process with your dealership.
