Our car buying service appraisal platform lets you buy vehicles with confidence at any volume. Standardise condition reporting across every purchase with digital appraisals that capture everything.

Ultimately, when you are buying hundreds of vehicles, inconsistency is expensive. For example, one appraiser captures three photos, another captures thirty. Consequently, appraisers miss damage. Then vehicles arrive in worse condition than expected. Without standardised processes, scaling a car buying operation means scaling your risk.

In short, every vehicle that arrives below expected condition eats into your margin. Moreover, every dispute with a seller costs time and money. Therefore, a dedicated car buying service appraisal process is the only way to ensure you assess every single vehicle against the same criteria, with the same evidence standard, every time.

As a result, you assess every vehicle in your buying pipeline against the same criteria. Specifically, customisable templates enforce your standards across every appraiser and every location. Define mandatory photo requirements, condition checks, and grading criteria that appraisers must complete before they can finalise a submission.

Furthermore, damage annotation ensures your team misses nothing. Appraisers and sellers mark damage directly on vehicle diagrams, providing precise location detail alongside photographic evidence. As a result, you eliminate vague descriptions and missed damage that only surfaces when the vehicle arrives at your compound.

With TradeAppraise, you manage hundreds of vehicle submissions from one centralised dashboard. Filter by location, date, vehicle type, value, or condition grade. Sort and prioritise your buying pipeline based on the criteria that matter most to your business.

Moreover, you can track team performance across multiple locations. See who is completing appraisals, how long they take, and whether your team meets quality standards. Real-time oversight of buying activity means you can intervene early when issues arise and scale your operation with confidence.

Most importantly, every appraisal produces timestamped evidence that protects your business. When a seller disputes a condition assessment or claims damage occurred after the appraisal, you have dated photos, annotated diagrams, and a complete record of the vehicle’s state at the point of inspection.

However, this is not just about protection — it is about professionalism. In fact, buyers who operate with documented evidence build stronger relationships with sellers and earn a reputation for fair dealing. For businesses also involved in vehicle remarketing, the same condition reports provide accurate documentation for onward sale.
