INTRODUCING INSTANT CASH OFFER
An innovative bridge between pre-qualified online consumers and your dealership’s lot
Instant Cash Offer is a new program benefiting both consumers and you along with your dealership operations
We wanted to make it easier and faster for consumers to sell or trade their vehicle while also providing a new, well-qualified, and ready-to-go inventory source for our dealers.
This program connects you with sellers and supports you in more effective on-the-lot negotiation processes.
Why should you participate?
With the Instant Cash Offer program you will:
- Create a smoother and more effective negotiation process for the consumer when selling/trading-in
- Continue the transparent online consumer journey to your dealership
- Connect with pre-qualified consumers and their potentially higher quality vehicles
- Transact risk-free with a dedicated disposal process of unwanted vehicles
We asked consumers what they found most challenging when selling or trading in a car…
70%+
do not know the value of their car
63%
do not like negotiating trade-in value with dealers
55%
do not like long and inconvenient processes
36%
do not like transacting with strangers when selling privately
…the Instant Cash Offer program can solve all those challenges

How does it work?
A friction-free alternative for consumers to sell or trade-in their car.
The Instant Cash Offer is generated on autoTRADER.ca based on the vehicle’s condition and market value. Dealer then invites the seller for a professional appraisal and the consumer can leave with a cheque or a new car the same day.
