Used car dealer software for independent dealers

carassessments.com.au is used car dealer software for Australian independents that runs each car from appraisal to settlement in one app: buying, recon, listings, leads, deals and paperwork. Every car shows its true net profit once the purchase price, recon, holding cost, fees and commission come off.

In the app

A day in the yard, with the app

  1. 7:00am

    Know what’s aging

    The morning summary shows stock passing 45 and 60 days with a suggested price drop on each, plus the leads that came in overnight.

  2. 8:30am

    Appraise a private seller

    Rego lookup fills in make, model and series, you run the guided photo checklist and PPSR check, and the offer calculator works back from target retail, recon and holding cost to your max buy.

  3. 10:30am

    Buy or consign, side by side

    The seller isn’t sure. You send one offer by SMS showing what they net if you buy outright and what they net on consignment, and they accept with an e-signature.

  4. 1:00pm

    Move recon along

    The recon board shows two cars with the mechanic and one at the detailer. A panel quote over your approval limit pings you, you approve it, and the job cost lands on the car.

  5. 3:30pm

    Desk a deal

    A buyer wants the Corolla with a trade-in. You build the deal with the trade appraised in the same flow, see the live front and back end gross, and send the contract by link for e-sign and deposit.

  6. 6:00pm

    Check the numbers

    The 6pm summary shows gross and net this month, cash tied up in stock and which lead sources are paying their way.

The features that matter most

Built by a working dealer

Built by a dealer who buys and sells

TradeBeat, the licensed QLD dealer the software was built in, buys cars outright as well as consigning them. The buying side, from the max-buy calculator to the payout split between lender and seller, comes from doing that every week, not from a spec sheet.

The plan most independent used car dealers start on

Pro

$549/mo + GST

Pro suits a yard carrying up to 40 cars at once, with 60 valuations and 5 PPSR checks a month included and $8 per car after that.

Questions dealers ask

What does used car dealer software need to do?

At minimum: appraise and buy, track recon, list stock, manage leads, write up deals and keep the dealer register. carassessments.com.au does all of these in one app and adds true net profit per car.

Can I list to carsales and Facebook from it?

Yes. Stock syndicates to carsales, Autotrader, Gumtree, Facebook Marketplace, Drive and your own website from the stock card, with AI-written descriptions from the car’s details and photos.

How is net profit per car worked out?

Sale price minus the purchase price, recon, transport, auction fees, holding cost, ad spend share and commission, plus finance and add-on income. It updates as costs are added to the car.

Does it sync with my accounting software?

Yes. It syncs two ways with Xero and MYOB, including invoices, bills, payments and tracking categories per car, and treats margin scheme and full GST correctly per car.

Can I move from my current DMS?

Yes. We migrate your stock, customers and deals free, including imports from EasyCars, Virtual Yard, CloudLogic and spreadsheets.
