A vehicle appraisal app that shows its working
carassessments.com.au includes a vehicle appraisal app for car dealers that takes you from rego or VIN to a priced offer on your phone in the yard. Guided photos, an 11-section inspection scored out of 100, PPSR checks and live market pricing all sit on the one appraisal.

An appraisal in the app. Sample data.
Appraisals done from memory turn into arguments later
A quick walk-around and a number scribbled on a notepad is fine until the car comes back from the mechanic with $2,000 of work, or the seller says nobody mentioned the scratched bumper.
Every appraiser does it differently, the photos are on someone’s personal phone, and the reasons behind the offer are gone by the time the car is in recon.
How it works
- 1
Enter the rego or VIN
Make, model and series fill in from Redbook or AutoGrab. PPSR, written-off and stolen checks run from the same screen.
- 2
Walk the car
The guided photo checklist, damage markup, tyre and brake readings, OBD scan upload and video walkaround feed an 11-section inspection scored out of 100.
- 3
Price the offer
Live comparable listings, a days-to-sell estimate and suggested retail go into the offer calculator, which works back to the most you should pay.
The seller can do the first walk-around
Your public “sell or consign your car” form goes on your website. Sellers enter their rego, answer condition questions and take guided photos on their own phone, and it lands in your buy pipeline already filled in.
- Rego or VIN lookup fills make, model and series
- Guided photos, including engine start video and undercarriage
- Current trade-in offer captured up front, so you know the number to beat
Eleven sections, one score out of 100
Every appraiser follows the same 11-section inspection, so a 72 means the same thing whoever did it. The score adds itself up and the condition report downloads as a PDF to show the seller or a buyer.
- Damage markup on the photos
- Tyre tread and brake readings
- OBD scan upload and video walkaround
- Works offline in the yard, syncs when you have signal
An offer you can explain to the seller
Market pricing shows live comparable listings, a days-to-sell estimate and suggested retail. The offer calculator takes target retail, less the recon estimate, holding cost, fees and your target margin, and the side-by-side view shows the seller their net if you buy it outright or consign it.
- Offer sent by SMS or email with e-sign acceptance and an expiry
- Buy outright vs consign, seller net shown for each
- The same appraisal flow handles trade-ins inside a sales deal
