RealDeal is completely different. First, RealDeal reports are only issued to customers by a dealer.

Once a dealer offers a fair price for a vehicle, whether it is done up front, or after protracted negotiations, the RealDeal report will validate that the price is what it is, presumably fair and defendable. I'm firmly of the belief that documentation is the new negotiation, and in the context of selling a vehicle, sellers and buyers can and should work collaboratively to justify and validate.

Thoughts?
Dale

Good to see you over the weekend…we got referred to you by our PureCars rep out here in Denver last year, are you still affiliated with them? Is RealDeal powered by them or a partnership? Just some confusion on my end…as we use it in our stores now.
Thanks and safe travels.

The guy is huge and has classic lines to describe his cars like “you won’t find one like this in the slug lane, MEN!” I swear it’s easier to hear him without a microphone than it is to hear the auctioneer.<br>Most dealers could learn something about lot display by checking out his run of cars….perfectly spaced and lined up better than most retail lots. This cat knows wholesale. It’s been 8 years since I’ve been to Manheim and he’s definitely a memorable used car operator. The Manheim Hollenshead run is one of the best parts of the auction.

The folks at Autotrader-especially Brian Skutta the GM of Trade-In Marketplace-have done a wonderful job with this product and i was so impressed i invited them to present at our next 20 group meeting March 10th in Dallas. In all fairness the only other thing I saw at NADA that beat the AT TIM was your new RealDeal. I can't wait to get both these new technologies up and running here at Polar. By the way your workshop rocked! You should have seen the faces on a couple dudes from Australia when you "put them on the barbie".
