Instant
A live number at the desk that you can use to put your deal together, no waiting around for a call back.
Guaranteed
Locks the moment you accept. What the US market does afterwards doesn't change your number.
Good for 7 days
Refreshable once it expires. Nothing is committed until you accept.
All the upside
When a car clears above our guaranteed offer, the net gain is paid back to you each month, after transport, import and remarketing.
How it works
Quote, accept, operate, settle
Price instantly and accept in minutes. Signal does the rest.
1. Quote
Enter the VIN and odometer. You get a guaranteed CAD amount, good for 7 days.
2. Accept
Your number locks. You self-inspect and certify, then Signal takes over. Funds are advanced prior to pick-up.
3. Operate
Signal transports, imports, titles, lists and sells the vehicle in the US.
4. Settle
Your guaranteed amount is already advanced. Each month Signal reconciles the vehicles of yours that sold and pays any upside before the 20th.
The benefits
Take the number now. Keep the upside you'd normally give away.
Exporting used to mean shipping on speculation and finding out weeks later what you got. Instant Offer moves that risk off your books.
Paid before pick-up
Your money arrives before the car leaves your lot. You are not floorplanning a car through a US sale cycle.
Close the trade at the desk
Put a firm number in front of the customer instead of sending the car to auction and hoping.
No downside exposure
If a car sells below its guarantee you still keep the full amount. You owe nothing, and nothing carries into next month.
Not just trade-ins
Run the same instant number on service lane vehicles, lease returns and aged inventory. We help you turn your customers over faster.
Frequently asked questions
How long is an Instant Offer good for?
Seven days. Nothing is committed on either side in that window, and once it expires you can refresh for a new number.
What happens after I accept?
Your amount locks. You self-inspect and certify the vehicle. Signal generates the Bill of Sale and takes over transport, import, titling and the US sale. Funds are advanced prior to pick-up.
Which vehicles are eligible?
Signal Market Guide wholesale value of USD 20,000 to 75,000 (roughly CAD 27,000 to 101,000), a clean Carfax with no damage declaration over CAD 5,000, and any outstanding recalls remedied before the vehicle ships. Outside that, we don't show a guaranteed number.
What does it cost to run a quote?
Nothing. Quoting is free and creates no obligation. Program fees apply only to vehicles you accept, and Signal has already deducted them inside the number you see.
What if the vehicle sells for less than the offer?
You keep the full guaranteed amount. You owe nothing back, and the shortfall does not carry into next month. Once you accept, your number is fixed regardless of what the car brings in the US.
How and when do I get paid?
Twice. Signal advances the guaranteed CAD amount prior to pick-up, at the rate locked when you accepted, so you are never waiting on the US sale. Then, before the 20th of each month, your vehicles sold the previous month are reconciled: gains net against losses, less transport, import and remarketing costs. A positive pool is paid to you in full; a negative one costs you nothing.
How do we get set up?
Instant Offer runs inside the Signal trade-in tool you already use. Enrolment is per rooftop, so ask your Signal contact to switch it on.
