Changelog
What's new in DealerRecord.
Free public tools
- A free Minnesota used car tax and fees calculator, built on the same math as the deal worksheet.
- A free VIN decoder using official NHTSA data.
DealerRecord is live
- DealerRecord.com is live on its own server with HTTPS, Google sign-in, and nightly database backups.
A faster deal worksheet
- The worksheet now follows how Minnesota dealers quote a deal: price, deal type, fees and registration, trade-in, then the customer and vehicle.
- Start a deal blank for a quick quote, then pick an in-stock car or saved customer, or type them in.
- Outside financing: the lien holder, lien fee, down payment, and amount financed print on the contract.
Inventory on your phone and a Forms page
- The inventory list fits a phone: price, cost, and days on lot at a glance, with no sideways scrolling.
- A Forms page lists the printable dealership forms on the way.
Logistics, listing status, and your own lists
- Track cars that are not on the lot yet: awaiting pickup, in transit, or at a vendor, grouped by place with due dates.
- Mark each car For sale, Open to offers, Coming soon, or Not for sale.
- Keep your own lists of auctions and sources, locations, and vendors, added right from the form.
- The deal page is now the hub for each sale, with live totals and the next step up front.
VIN-first inventory and sale paperwork
- Type a VIN and the year, make, model, trim, and specs fill in automatically.
- Each vehicle has one page that you edit in place, plus a lot summary of cost, asking, and projected gross.
- Completing a sale freezes numbered PDF paperwork. Corrections and voids keep the full history.
Minnesota deal pricing
- Deal pricing with Minnesota sales tax, the $10 in-lieu tax, registration, doc fee limits, and county wheelage tax.
First version
- Inventory with purchase costs and expenses, customers, dealership settings, and deals.
