Pinnacle Nissan Becomes Official Autotrader.com Trade-in Marketplace Location

April 22, 2010 - PRLog -- For Phoenix area car buyers, the program offers a no-haggle way to get a value on their car, which they can turn into guaranteed cash or toward down payment on a newer car at Pinnacle Nissan.  For dealers like Pinnacle Nissan, TIM offers another avenue for attracting potential customers to their lots and building up quality used-car inventory.

Here’s how it works:
•   An auto seller accesses TIM at http://tradein.autotrader.com or at Pinnacle Nissan’s website or the AutoTrader.com kiosk in Pinnacle’s showroom and service area waiting room.
•   The seller inputs information about the vehicle, including the make and model, the model year, major factory-installed options, other upgrades and maintenance information and details about the condition, including any major repairs or accident damage.
•   The tool will calculate a price based on historical transaction data for hundreds of thousands of vehicles and up-to-the-minute supply and demand information and produce a printable purchase offer.
•   The seller can take that purchase offer to Pinnacle Nissan or, if they are on Pinnacle Nissan lot, to a representative of the dealership.
•   The representative of Pinnacle Nissan will inspect the car to confirm that it matches the description provided by the seller and then write the seller a check for that amount.
•   Once the car’s condition is confirmed, the seller can use the funds towards the purchase of their next vehicle or simply walk away with a check.

“AutoTrader.com is always looking for new ways to connect car buyers and car sellers,” said AutoTrader.com President and CEO Chip Perry.  “The Trade-In Marketplace does just that and we’re excited about having Pinnacle Nissan signed on in this area.”
