Know what you’re buying before the price hooks you

The cheapest car on the board is sometimes cheap for a reason. Two checks run before you ring the seller.

Write-offs flagged on Facebook

WA only measured currently

597live Marketplace ads flagged as written off

Private sellers often say it in the ad. We read every Marketplace description and flag write-offs (WOVR and statutory), accident damage, engine faults and cars sold as is. The flag sits on the car with the seller’s own words, and you can filter them in or out. It’s what the seller wrote, not a register check, so a car with no flag isn’t cleared.

Salvage auction watch

17,591VINs seen through salvage sales since 27 August

We keep every car that goes through Pickles salvage sales, and Manheim’s since 8 September. Type a VIN into an appraisal and it’s checked against them for free, before you spend anything on a paid lookup. A car we’ve seen at a salvage sale gets a red “Sold at salvage auction” box on its page, next to the PPSR check. No match means we haven’t seen it at those sales, not that it’s clean. Try it free on any VIN.

Your price, on the market’s own chart

Every comparable of the variant sits on one chart, sold and still listed, with our curve running through them. Your margins shade the buy range across it, so before you make the offer you can see where this car sits and how many like it are at or under the top of that range.

The working reads down the side: the value off the curve, your margin and deductions, the range. Nothing to take on trust.

Where the price comes from: price against odometer for 19 Toyota Klugers of this variant in WA, with the recommended buy range shaded — The Kluger against the 19 of its variant in WA: our curve gives $28,255, and the green band is the $20,300 - $23,600 range your margins set. 6 of the 19 sit at or under its top.

Start at the desk, take the photos on your phone

Scan the code on the appraisal, or send it to your phone, and the camera opens on the first shot. It walks you round the car: front, rear, both sides, odometer, interior, then any extras. Photos save on the phone first and upload when there’s signal, and they land on the desk as you go.

Questions

Frequently asked

How long does onboarding take?

It starts with a 30-minute call, then we link your login to your dealership by hand. If we already monitor your website, your stock is in the app the moment you're approved and it's valued every night, so there's nothing to type in or upload. From there you set your purchase price rules and invite your staff.

My dealership already uses MotorMetrics. How do I get in?

Ask your manager to send you an invite from the app. Your login is then linked to your dealership straight away, with the rooftops you work at, so there's no need to request access yourself.

Does it work on a phone on the yard floor?

Yes. Home, Inventory, Sourcing (including the one-car-at-a-time swipe view), car pages, auction lots, appraisals and Compare all work on a phone. Lists turn into cards and the menu folds into one button at the top. A few wide tables, like the Market terminal, still read best on a bigger screen.

Can I export my inventory data?

Yes. Inventory has an Export CSV button that downloads the cars in your current view with your ask, your target, our market value, days on lot, confidence and your notes.

Is my stock data shared with other dealers?

Cars you advertise are public market data, so other dealers on the app can see them, along with our value and the yard stats we work out from them. You see theirs the same way. Your target prices, notes, purchase price rules, appraisals, shortlists and saved filters stay inside your dealership's account.

How often are my cars revalued?

Every night. The market evidence is rebuilt after midnight Perth time, then your advertised stock is revalued, so you see last night's market. A car with fewer than 10 comparable vehicles gets no value rather than a guess.
