Another NEW appraisal tool promotion has made its way into my inbox. There's always been a few of these on the market in the industry, all the way back to when I was part of a user group of dealers that would post wholesale and dated vehicles within the group for other dealers to bid on and acquire. Times have changed, just a bit. Most of these new appraisal services now reside on your phone / mobile app.
I'm not sure exactly how NEW The Appraisal Lane has been around. The logo looks a bit familiar.
Ever since AutoTrader's Trade-In Marketplace (TIM) came to market, it seems as if there's been quite a few copycats (who knows, maybe they copied from someone else) looking to make it better.

"The Appraisal Lane Helps Dealers Make More Retail Deals at the Curb"
The Appraisal Lane is for licensed automotive dealers and is a live trade desk that places cash offers quickly on used vehicles sent in by franchise and independent automotive dealers in the community. The Appraisal Lane gives dealers the ability to move used car inventory by providing accurate valuations; the ability to provide a consistent consumer trade-in experience; and the confidence to take used cars on trade regardless of a new car sale.
