Do you want to know the true value of your car? In addition to the Argus, the dealers' estimate (and your own opinion), there is a new solution offered by the Lyon startup Proovstation. Already present in several cities in France, it has just arrived in Normandy in the shopping centers of Barentin (Seine-Maritime) and Guichainville (Eure). By passing the vehicle under a gantry, you receive a free evaluation of your vehicle by SMS within a few hours and you can even benefit from a purchase offer!
Everything is going smoothly. While stopping in front of the scanner, for a few seconds, you must first speak with an interlocutor who, from her call platform, asks you to leave your contact details and indicate whether you want “a simple quote or an option purchase”. She then asks you to move forward without stopping at a speed of 5 km/hour.
An SMS during the day
“I will receive the result by SMS during the day, it’s simple,” comments Isabelle, in the process of divorce who is contesting the value, overestimated according to her, of her Peugeot at 300,000 kilometers by her ex-husband’s lawyer . In fact, twelve cameras linked to artificial intelligence scan in a few seconds the condition of the bodywork, tire wear, damage, etc.
What about the engine? And how to sell it? It's just as easy. “You have a cash purchase offer. You can sell your vehicle directly for the amount indicated. This is a sale to professionals as is. We have already seen your car so there will be no unpleasant surprises,” explains Cédric Bernard, president and co-founder of ProovStation.
