Black Book now serves as the trade appraisal engine for eAutoAppraise, an online trade-in solution fitted with vehicle shopping features designed to lead dealers to more successful sales transactions.

All eAutoAppraise dealers can now provide customizable value ranges on specifically tailored vehicle questions powered Black Book values.

Ranges are narrowed down following a series of questions answered by the customer about the details of their vehicle trade.

"We're excited to partner with eAutoAppraise, a superior online appraisal engine that offers dealers a chance to close more deals quicker, and make strong profit margins," Black Book senior vice president of sales Jared Kalfus said in a news release. "An accurate valuation on a trade is a key component to the car-shopping experience, and customers that come equipped with a more narrow number in mind have a better experience at the dealership."

Additionally, eAutoAppraise’s office suite also offers dealers values, special offer banners and direct mapping to specific dealerships for geo-targeting.

"Our mission is to provide dealers with the best leads possible for increased sales, and to serve as the catalyst for simple vehicle sales transactions," Barry Brodsky, managing partner of eAutoAppraise, said in the release.

"The vehicle trade appraisal component is extremely crucial to any new vehicle transaction, and with Black Book powering our valuation process we're confident that we can offer up an experience that will increase customer satisfaction online and at the dealership," he said.
