Impact Auto Auctions and Automotive Finance Corp. have partnered to offer Canadian dealers a ‘seamless’ financing and buying process.

WESTCHESTER, Ill. — Impact Auto Auctions Ltd. and Automotive Finance Corp. (divs. KAR Auction Services) announced the launch of real-time, convenient, seamless financing and buying options for Canadian auto dealers, the companies announced.
IAA buyers can now view their available AFC credit in real time and floorplan their purchases upon checkout, allowing customers to use a computer, tablet, or smartphone to buy and transport the same day, saving time and minimizing storage costs, executives said.
“Our Canadian customers have asked for more convenience, and we have answered their request with a fully integrated and streamlined purchasing process,” said Blair Earle, managing director for Impact Auto Auctions. “Providing customers with instant access to floorplan financing and giving them immediate snapshots of their available credit helps our customers make quicker buying decisions — generating additional buying opportunity and helping them successfully operate and grow their business.”
