Lawrenceville, GA (December 14, 2023) - Black Book, a division of Hearst that provides industry-leading used vehicle valuations and residual value forecast solutions, today announced its integration with PrivateAuto, the only platform that enables fast and secure peer-to-peer vehicle transactions and provides an enhanced level of transparency to the private vehicle sale process.

PrivateAuto removes the middleman and uses proprietary banking technology so buyers and sellers can safely close the sale on their own, anytime. PrivateAuto’s platform can be used to transact all titled vehicles for any dollar amount, including used cars, RVs, motorcycles, classic cars, and ATVs.

This integration will provide even more visibility into the values of the vehicles on the platform to ensure sellers get the most for their vehicles and buyers get the transparency they need to understand the value of the vehicle.

“Black Book’s data in PrivateAuto’s tools will allow consumers to maximize their profit and have peace of mind while selling their vehicles,” said Jared Kalfus, President of Black Book.

“Our technology makes selling a car privately safe, simple, and secure,” said Brad Parker, Co-Founder and CEO of PrivateAuto. “By integrating with Black Book’s data, we can provide our users with a greater level of price transparency, set buyer and seller expectations, and make more deals happen.”

This integration is currently live and can be experienced throughout the process of listing a vehicle, as well as on the Vehicle Detail Pages in the Market Price Report section. Potential buyers can view this report once logged into their account for any vehicle listed on PrivateAuto.
