Acquire Consumer Vehicles

Give precise, transparent offers that win customers’ trust – and their vehicles.

Capture more trade-ins

Beat out the big-box competitors with offers that win you more cars.

Acquisition opportunities are shrinking, and big-box players are snatching inventory out from under you.

To stay competitive, ClearCar uses AI-powered condition capture and real-time market data to generate precise, transparent vehicle offers that you and your customers can both trust.

Win over customers and acquire their high-quality, higher-margin vehicles.

How to deliver accurate offers

It’s easy to make ClearCar a standard part of vehicle appraisals.

Every VIPER scan delivers a complete, objective view of the vehicle, brought together in a cohesive condition report. You view photos, pricing guidance, and insights instantly.

The customer enter their data and captures photos

  • Customers can start a ClearCar inspection and offer online by entering their VIN, license plate, or year/make/model.
  • They are prompted to answer simple questions about their vehicle’s condition.
  • Customers can upload photos of their vehicle to verify its condition, lining up their phone to match the outline of their car and snapping a few exterior and interior pictures. (This process takes only a few minutes but gives you full visibility of the vehicle before the customer even comes to your lot.)

ClearCar assesses condition and common issues

  • ClearCar’s revolutionary AI tech goes to work to scan the vehicle images for damage. It will identify things like dents, rust, or scratches and give you a realistic view of the size and type of damage.
  • AI will also flag common reconditioning issues calling attention to common problems based on a vehicle's year/make/model that could be costly.

ClearCar generates an accurate offer and condition report

  • In addition to the vehicle’s specific condition, ClearCar assesses the current market in real time to generate an accurate offer that reflects its value in this condition, in this moment, at your rooftop.
  • All of the vehicle’s information is then populated into a condition report that can be shared for maximum transparency.
