How much more can I typically offer on trade-ins using Signal's export data?

Most dealers find they can offer $300-500 more on desirable trade-ins while still increasing their profit margins by $1,000+ through US export channels compared to local wholesale.

Will offering more on trades affect my ability to profit?

Actually, the opposite! By leveraging export channels, you'll maintain or increase your profits even while offering more competitive trade values, creating a win-win for both you and your customers.

How quickly can I determine the US export value during an appraisal?

Signal's platform delivers instant US market values, allowing you to make confident trade offers within minutes while the customer is still in your showroom.

How does this compare to using traditional appraisal tools?

Traditional tools only reflect local market values, missing the significant upside potential in the US market. Signal's tools show you both local and export values, giving you the complete picture.

Do I need export experience to use this approach?

Not at all! Signal handles all the complexity, letting you focus on using the data to make smarter trade offers while we manage the export logistics.

Can I use Signal's data even if I don't export vehicles myself?

Yes, many dealers use Signal purely for its export valuation insights to improve trade-in offers and deals. You don’t need to handle any export yourself—Signal connects you with trusted partners who do.

What kinds of vehicles perform best in the US market?

US buyers often pay more for trucks, SUVs, and Japanese brands. Signal helps you identify high-spread vehicles instantly.
