Fehlkalkulierte Inzahlungnahmewerte durch manuelle Fahrzeugbewertung

Definition

Australian dealers typically assess trade‑ins via a visual and mechanical inspection, then compare against recent auction results, online listings and internal sales history, but this is often done manually and under time pressure.[1][3][6] Errors in judging condition, regional demand, or reconditioning cost mean the dealer over‑allows on the trade‑in relative to realistic resale value, shrinking or reversing gross profit on the transaction.[1][2][7] Industry examples show that between 5,600 AUD of deductions can separate retail from trade‑in value on a 25,000 AUD car once reconditioning, holding costs and profit are added, illustrating how small mis‑estimates of only 5–10% can translate into 1,000–2,500 AUD margin leakage per unit.[2] With dozens of trade‑ins per month, this compounds to tens of thousands of dollars in lost gross profit annually for a typical Australian franchise dealership.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Retail motor dealers in Australia 🇦🇺 waste schätzungsweise 300–800 AUD pro Trade‑In an Marge durch inkonsistente manuelle Bewertungen. Automation of appraisal with market‑data tools and rule‑based valuation parameters eliminates this risk.
