Buy Right with Confident Appraisals

Before you commit to a vehicle, Carbly brings the numbers that matter into one appraisal view so you can buy without getting buried, and protect front-end gross.

Accurate Vehicle Appraisals

Start with the Deal Math

See wholesale, spread, gross, and risk before you buy. Carbly data keeps the appraisal focused on whether the vehicle works for your store.

Data for Car Appraisals

Compare the Market Signals

Review book values, actual retail sale prices, wholesale values, days on market, price histories, and projections without jumping between tools.

Vehicle History Reports

Spot Risk Before You Buy

Use an existing vehicle history reports login, such as CARFAX, to review history in the appraisal before you put money in a the unit.

Text and Barcode Vehicle VIN Scanner

Move Fast from the VIN

The Carbly VIN scanner reads barcodes and VIN text, so your team can start the appraisal quickly from the lane, lot, or desk.

Market data partners include Black Book®, Manheim Market Report, EDGE Pipeline, Real Retail, CARFAX, J.D. Power Values, Market Tracker, Live Local Market, VinTel, ADESA, SmartAuction, and EBlock.
Live Local Market

Price Right with Local Market Intelligence

Price each vehicle against the market you actually sell in.

Pricing is not only a book value decision. Live Local Market shows detailed retail data and comps, while Market Tracker shows supply, demand, price changes, and competitor performance across your region.

Live Local Market and Market Tracker give dealers pricing signals they can act on:

  • Mileage-adjusted suggested retail price for the vehicle in front of you
  • Active local comps with asking price, mileage, distance, and price changes
  • Median days on lot for similar units in your selling area
  • Regional supply, demand, and turn signals by model
  • Competitor performance and market movement before a unit goes stale

Use both products to determine a vehicle's value and understand when the broader market is telling you to hold, adjust, or move.

Live Local Market

Once inventory is on the lot, protecting front-end gross and avoiding losses requires constant monitoring.
