Read transcript
Dealer: I’ve got a trade-in I need to value.
Claude: Let’s take a look. Snap the VIN and a few shots of the car. I’ll help you work through the appraisal.
Appraisal: Opens the appraisal workspace. The dealer captures the VIN, identifies a fictional silver 2021 Performance Wagon, and uploads photos including a close-up of a scraped wheel. The images are illustrative.
Claude: I can see curb rash on the wheel in your photo. Are the other wheels affected too?
Dealer: Yes, all four. It has 38,000 miles and needs tires, too.
Claude: I’ll include all four wheels in recon, plus tires and finishing. Here’s the impact. Illustrative market context of $61,000, less $2,800 for wheels, tires, and finishing, produces an illustrative retail estimate of $58,200. History is unverified; no history adjustment is assumed. This is a sample estimate, not a live offer.
FROM ONE CAR TO THE WHOLE LOT
Your inventory.
A different perspective.
The companion 3D lot view brings inventory into the conversation. Explore the lot by days in inventory, ProfitTime metal, price minus cost, or day supply.
See the patterns. Color and grouping make differences across the lot easier to spot.
Go deeper. In the tool, orbit the lot, zoom in, and select a vehicle for its details.
