Let Customers Appraise Their Own Trade
The trade-in conversation now starts at a kitchen table, weeks before anyone visits your store. autoZnetwork gives customers a guided way to appraise their vehicle from home, and gives you a real lead with real photos instead of a form fill that says "2019 Silverado, good condition."
Built for someone who isn't in the business
Your customer doesn't know what "clean" means
Every trade-in tool that asks a consumer to grade their own vehicle gets an optimistic answer. Asking specific, answerable questions about what's actually on the car is how you get information you can price against.
- Plate or VIN to Start
- A license plate is all most customers know. That's enough to decode the vehicle and begin.
- Guided Questions
- Plain-language prompts about mileage, condition, and history. No dealer jargon, no forty-field form.
- Customer Photos
- They're walked through the shots you actually need, so you get usable pictures instead of one blurry front corner.
The offer is a decision, not a lookup
Instant doesn't have to mean automatic
Some stores want a number on screen in thirty seconds. Others want every offer to pass a human first. Both are legitimate, and which one you choose shouldn't be decided by your software.
- Your Brand, Your Site
- The tool lives on your website and looks like your store, not a third party lead vendor.
- A Range or a Real Number
- Show an instant range to keep them moving, or hold for your team to send a firm offer.
- You Set the Rules
- Your valuation sources and your margins decide what a customer sees. Nothing is published you didn't configure.
- Finished on the Phone
- Most of these get filled out on a couch. It works there first.
A trade lead is a buying signal
Someone appraising their car is shopping for their next one
A customer valuing their trade is telling you they're in market, months before a test drive. Treating that submission as a real appraisal instead of a lead form is what earns you both the trade and the sale.
- A Lead With Substance
- Every submission arrives as a full appraisal, with photos and the decoded vehicle attached.
- Into Your Workflow
- Submissions land in the same appraisal queue your team already works, and push to your CRM.
- Respond While It's Warm
- Review, adjust, and send back a firm number before they fill out the next dealer's form.
- Straight Into Inventory
- Acquire the vehicle and the appraisal becomes the inventory record, already decoded and photographed.
