CAP partners with CarCliq to link car buyers with dealers

REVOLUTIONARY car sales website carcliq.co.uk and CAP, the UK’s leader in vehicle valuation, have joined forces to match car buyers with perfect deals from the best dealers.

Under the partnership, consumers get free access to CAP’s industry-renowned independent online car valuation service in return for submitting their personal details. Car dealers working with CarCliq then receive high quality leads to consumers who are known to be in the market for both new and used cars.

 The leads are of immediate value because the consumer is seriously considering purchase right now. By including the make and model the consumer is researching, the leads give dealers granular insight into the customer’s needs before they even get in touch. Dealers get leads perfectly tailored to their business, targeted by postcode, region and manufacturer.  The contact details are validated by third party systems, giving the dealer confidence that their call will be welcomed by the customer.

Consumers benefit by gaining free online access to independent industry benchmark valuation data that lets them compare car prices with confidence.  Feedback to CAP from consumers who have made previous valuation queries demonstrates overwhelmingly positive views of the service. By bringing sincere, well-informed consumers together with good dealers, both sides enter the negotiation and purchase process confident in the fairness and transparency of the opening stages. 

As well as gaining an understanding of the true value of a vehicle, consumers can also choose to upgrade their report, to gain a unique picture of forecast depreciation and overall running cost information that allows them to understand the total cost of owning a particular car.

“We are delighted to be working with such a progressive partner as CarCliq” said Ben Maguire, Head of Consumer at CAP. “We wanted a partner that understands and embraces the way digital services are changing business and CarCliq definitely do.”

“CarCliq is embracing this unique opportunity to work alongside the industry-leading supplier of car valuation data”, explains Antony Lewis, Director and Founder of carcliq.co.uk. “The partnership will enable us to provide an invaluable competitive edge to our dealers with meaningful leads and ultimately a satisfied customer."
