OPENLANE's "iDEAL" Dealer Consigned Lane - where vehicles go online and off the lot faster
Take advantage of OPENLANE.com's iDEAL program to reach a national buyer base and liquid marketplace by listing your wholesale inventory. And with the recently introduced features, listing is easier and buyers have more confidence, meaning your cars sell faster and for higher prices.

• Let your reputation do the talking
  Buyers can better understand your sales history, from how many of your transactions stay sold and how quickly title is made available, by using data from the new Seller Performance Panel. Potential buyers can even drill in to the details for individual transactions to answer any question.
  
  
• Tell buyers about your operation
  Help buyers get more comfortable with you and get beyond the data by using OPENLANE's Seller Marketing page. The page allows you to present your logo, retail business name, and even add text about your operation and standards. This information, together with your sales performance, gives the buyer the confidence to bid on your vehicle.
  
  
• Easily list vehicles with a full Third Party Condition Report
  Order a full condition report in less than 1 minute. Simply enter the VIN and vehicle location, and OPENLANE will dispatch an inspector who will perform a detailed condition report, and then get it all loaded in to the system. Once the inspection has been completed, simply review the data, price the car, and release the car to auction. Simple. Fast. Easy. Plus, you have less risk of a problem after the sale while buyers tend to pay more for these vehicles.
  
  
• Easily list vehicles using your retail website content
  Automatically import your retail vehicle data, pictures, and options straight into our system from over 25 different inventory management partners, with more added every day. To find out more, please see the "Dealer Tips" section of this newsletter or call your iDEAL specialist at 480-556-5218.
