instaVIN Rolls Out Certified Pre-Owned Program
Franchised dealers can certify their used inventory within hours of signing up for the program on the company’s website. The offering is also being made available to independent dealers.
SAN DIEGO — instaVIN has launched a new Certified Pre-Owned program. Dealers can sign up on the instaVIN Website and certify their first vehicle within hours.
The program is being administered by National Auto Care (NAC), and is backed by an “A” rated insurance carrier with more than $26 billion in assets.
The instaVIN CPO program enables franchised dealers to certify their off-makes and older nameplate vehicles. The program, which is also available to independent and buy-here, pay-here dealers, includes an instaVIN vehicle history and title reports, an up to 99-point inspection and a three- or 12-month limited warranty.
Once the dealer chooses to certify a vehicle, a certification package is purchased from instaVIN, which allows the dealer to run instaVIN Vehicle History and Title reports to check for negative title brands and similar events. Assuming all is clear with the instaVIN History Report, the dealer either performs a vehicle inspection according to the program’s certification standards, or orders an independent inspection through instaVIN.
