During the appraisal process, every detail counts—especially when it comes to accurately identifying key vehicle options. Take a look at the image of the two trucks above. At first glance, they may look identical, but one of them includes the Equipment Group 302A Luxury package, valued at $2,928. The question is: which one? 

This is exactly why accurate appraisals matter. Missing out on important options, even ones valued at hundreds or thousands of dollars, can negatively impact your Trade-In Closing Ratio, leaving money on the table and potentially losing out on a deal. 

How JD Power OEM Booking Helps You Get It Right 

JD Power’s OEM Booking integration within Dealerslink ensures that your appraisals are as accurate as possible. By automatically pulling every OEM option directly into your vehicle appraisal, Dealerslink helps account for every feature, package, and option that adds value to a trade-in.

For example, with the Equipment Group 302A Luxury package, missing that detail could mean undervaluing a vehicle by nearly $3,000. Without the right tools, it's easy to overlook these high-value features during appraisal, which could result in inaccurate trade offers and an overall less profitable deal for your dealership. 

Why Missing Key Options Is Costly 

With inventory shortages looming on the horizon, your ability to make every vehicle appraisal count is more important than ever. By ensuring you capture all the OEM options you can be confident that your trade offers are based on the true value of the vehicle. This means no more leaving potential profit on the table or risking a retail deal falling through due to inaccurate pricing. 

Utilizing JD Power OEM Booking allows your team to automatically add every OEM option to every appraisal, every time. Accurate trade-in offers not only improve your closing ratio but also help build trust with customers who feel they are getting a fair deal.
