VINData has stepped up as a strategic partner of the National Powersports Dealer Association (NPDA). Association members can now access high quality reports that run directly through the VINData website. “NPDA is a trade organization that keeps the dealer truly front and center, providing easy access to important programs that help their members run their dealerships more efficiently,” says Adam Siner, president, VINData. “We look forward to forging a strong partnership with them.”
VINData VIN check reports contain the type of data that dealers need when they consider vehicles for retail and trade-in, and as a sales tool when they retail vehicles. Like automotive dealers, powersports dealers face hidden problems that a History Report can uncover, such as DMV title brands like Salvage and Not Actual Mileage sourced from National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) – the database DMVs use when they title vehicles. VINData History Reports also show Junk yard, Salvage Auction and Insurance Total Loss events.
In addition to that data, VINData History Reports show active theft status. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) statistics show that motorcycles were reported stolen at a 30% higher rate in 2020 than in 2019. VINData Reports provide issued recall data, unpaid liens, vehicle values from leading value guide provider J.D. Power, specifications from VIN decode and more.
“We are delighted to add VINData to the NPDA Partner Program,” states Darris Blackford, Organizational Director of the NPDA. “VINData enables our member dealers to uncover vehicles with problems like active theft, branded titles, open recalls and even valuation data from trusted sources. We encourage our dealers to run VINData reports for the used inventory they acquire from every channel.”
“We use VINData’s History Reports for nearly all of our used inventory and on trade-ins,” adds Erica Orange, Assistant Sales Manager, Smoky Mountain Harley-Davidson. “VINData History Reports helps us avoid buying or taking motorcycles in on trade while highlighting those with no reported issues. The fact that VINData specializes in history reports for powersports vehicles means they know our business. It’s great that they are partnering with NPDA to get the word out to other dealers that can benefit from their service.”
