Black Book and VIN Decoding

To manage inventory successfully, you need to know its worth. AutoManager makes that simple with integrated Black Book values.

The ultimate price-setting reference.

Known for timely, independent and accurate vehicle values, Black Book arms you with the crucial advantage of weekly updates and the editorial expertise to report what’s actually happening in the used car market.

Black Book survey personnel attend approximately 50 dealer-only wholesale auctions each week to collect up-to-the-minute information on market values of used cars and light trucks. The Black Book editorial staff reviews the data and determines the vehicle values to be published in the next edition.

With Black Book integration, you’ll know you’re setting your sticker prices exactly where they should be to draw interest while making a profit – consistency that more than justifies the add-on.
