NEW Features to Help You Buy and Sell Easier
OPENLANE is continually adding new features to make purchasing and selling wholesale vehicles easier and faster than ever. Here are some exciting new enhancements to the website:

FOR BUYERS:

• Free Text Search Feature – buyers now have the option to search for inventory by entering as text commonly used search parameters (such as year, make, model, series, etc.) To enable this new search, buyers must enable "Try our New Search" on the "Site Preferences" panel of the "My Accounts" page.
• Search Results Page Update – enhancements have been made to improve ease of use.
• Time Zone Localization – OPENLANE will now detect your local time (per the time zone selected on your computer) and display all time references in your local time.
• Printer-Friendly/E-mailing Vehicle Detail Page – buyers can now elect to display a printer-friendly version of the Vehicle Detail Page or e-mail the full version.

FOR SELLERS:

• Pending Third Party Inspection (TPI) Icon - this icon will appear on your "Pending" panel for vehicles that are pending inspection and will show the order date and estimated turnaround time when you hover over the icon.
• Print completed TPI – available on from the "Live," "Pending," or "Sold" panels, we now provide a link to a printer friendly version of the inspection for vehicles with an ordered TPI.
• Funding Status & Release Form – for your convenience, we've added a link to the Release Form and the Funding Status on the "Sold" panel.
• OPENLANE Mobile Site "Sell" Screen – a new "Sell" screen has been added to OPENLANE's mobile-optimized site, allowing you to view listings at auction by VIN or make/model.

Dealer Spotlight

Chris Avery is the Used Car Manager for Tony Mangino Mitsubishi in Clifton Park, New York.  While the Diamond Chapter of Excellence Award winning store has been sourcing fresh inventory and wholesaling their aged units on OPENLANE for several years, Chris took the reins and began buying on the site about eight months ago. 

“My colleagues and I have purchased countless off-lease vehicles over the years on OPENLANE, but recently began broadening our buying horizons to include dealer-to-dealer, rental, and fleet inventories. OPENLANE is a great source to purchase a wide variety of inventory backed by a great group of people I enjoy working with.”
