Knowing the source of your inventory is the first step!
The graphic shows trade-ins on new vehicles represented the
biggest slice of used-vehicle acquisitions, at 43% of the pie.
The second-biggest contributor to used-vehicle inventory,
auction purchases, came in at a distant 27%. Close behind
were trade-ins on used vehicles, at 22% of acquisitions. The
question of whether to retail or wholesale a vehicle can be a
difficult one, and the decision must be made based on
customer appeal, predicted turn time and thecost of
reconditioning for each vehicle.

Give consumers a reason to
purchase with you via the
Condition reports.
With Carketa Condition Reports, there’s no need for your
customers to look for vehicle information elsewhere. All they
need to know is in one single report.
Just choose the vehicle you want to check and all the necessary
information will come right up.
Your market doesn’t have to be limited within the four corners of
your locale. With our condition reports, you can now sell your
vehicles to out-of-state buyers, and set their expectations for
each purchase.
It is essential to provide all the information car buyers need to
know before purchasing. With condition reports, such as ours,
which are packed with all the right and updated data, you’ll be able
to convince buyers better and give them reasons to buy.
Our mission at Carketa revolves around transparency, because
every customer deserves peace of mind when buying a used
vehicle. That’s why our pre-purchase condition reports have
been carefully crafted to provide in-depth, accurate information
on every vehicle we inspect. The report covers over 60
categories and over 200 points of inspection. Therefore, with
the Carketa current condition report, you’ll know exactly what’s
under the hood when buying your next used vehicle.
We understand how overwhelming the car buying experiencecan be, let Carketa take the guesswork out
of it. We have partnered with dealerships across the country that provide the best inventory on the
market, and we have the reports to prove it.
Did you know that the NADA recommends to turn your inventory 12 times a year. This means you should maintain a
1:1 sales to inventory ratio each month. Our Carketa partnered dealers have reported boosting their inventory turn time as much as 15 times a year!
