Car dealer appraisal
Review vehicle identity, valuation, market evidence and likely costs before committing to stock.
Home / Use cases
Smart Buy use cases
One appraisal framework, adapted to the vehicle market you buy in.
Smart Buy separates car, motorcycle and HGV/commercial checks because the evidence and buying risks are not identical.
Where Smart Buy fits.
Use it as a standalone buying tool or as the first stage of a connected LBM workflow.
Motorcycle buying
Use a motorcycle-specific plan and evidence model rather than forcing bike buying through a car-only workflow.
HGV & commercial buying
Use the commercial-vehicle category for higher-value buying decisions where costs and fallback evidence matter.
Breaker / dealer decision
Compare whole-vehicle and dismantling-oriented evidence before deciding whether a vehicle is better as stock or donor.
Part-exchange review
Use a repeatable check when considering a vehicle offered into the business.
Connected dealer workflow
Continue an accepted purchase into VehicleBase instead of starting the stock record again.
Provider coverage varies by vehicle class. Where a data source does not support a category, Smart Buy should show the available evidence rather than implying unavailable data exists.
Want to see a realistic assessment?
We can demonstrate a sample vehicle and explain how the evidence contributes to the buying view.
