Is the purpose of a Condition report to be your eyes when
the unit is in a location where you can’t actually see it?
Is it helpful or confusing when a CR number designates
a unit to be “rough” or “below average” and yet it sells for
thousands over average or even the highest in the nation based on Market
Reports?
If that occurs on a regular basis does the numeric system
confuse the validity of the condition report and your buying decisions?
Can a unit be designated as “rough” and sell for extra clean
money on a regular basis even though the CR designation has eliminated the on
line buyers due to the designation?
If you are on line and watch this happen does it make you
trust the CR more or less?
If that happens on a regular basis would you assume the
seller has generally rough cars even though they all sell above market value
which would imply they are not rough but well above units offered in the “in
play” market?
Is the number useful if it eliminates your interest in a
unit even though you would buy it if you could see it?
Does showing a floor price and market ready price that considers VIN specific characteristics such as dings, dents, color, equipment,
lack of equipment, etc. help with proxy and live bidding?
Do you like the having ability to refer to the CR
after the purchase to compare what it said and what it is?
Is it useful to have the CR to refer to in relation to
validating transport damage?
Does having live Spotters in conjunction with a CR help you
to bid with confidence when not attending the sale?
Are better pictures helpful?
Are better pictures of tires more helpful than a gauge
number?
Is an accurate VIN decoder helpful so the correct unit is
listed so you don’t lose a unit based on inaccurate descriptions?
Does a foul odor in a vehicle make it worth less?
Does having a solution to resolving the odor of a unit help
(Air Clenz)?
Does a CR based on a number which can vary but 2-3 points
depending on the individual writing it help you or make it more difficult when
deciding what you are willing to bid?
If the numeric system makes it less transparent do you
believe you miss many units you would otherwise bid on?
