Four different kinds of evidence.

Actual transaction

A sale or settlement evidenced by appropriate transaction documents.

Documented offer

A real buyer’s offer with explicit conditions, validity and supporting evidence.

Estimated alternative

A model, valuation or market-based expectation. Not a realized sale.

Verified funds

Actual reconciled funds supported by lender settlement or funding confirmation.

Historical PURR case studies.

Actual PURR transactions. Estimated auction alternatives.

Selected published examples, not an average, forecast or guarantee. The alternative was estimated, not a second actual sale. Source artwork is retained; this page does not claim a new independent audit of settlement or funding evidence.

  • Proposed route

    Dealer Acquisition, subject to costs and approvals.

  • Offer evidence

    Documented, conditions apply — fictional example only.

  • Legal eligibility

    Pending confirmation.

  • Customer authorization

    Not yet provided.

  • Settlement

    Not completed.

  • Funds received

    Not yet received.

  • Final realized difference

    Not established.

All figures in this example are fictional. The apparent difference is before any additional dealer-acquisition costs. It is not a verified net recovery benefit, an actual offer, a forecast or a guarantee.

What we also aim to measure.

The intended scorecard goes beyond sale price. These are measurement goals, not published historical results.

  • Actual net proceeds
  • Days to sale
  • Days to funds received
  • Lender touches
  • Failed offers
  • Arbitration
  • Reruns
  • Execution exceptions
  • Forecast accuracy

A useful system learns from the vehicles that didn't outperform, too.

Our planned Decision Record system will track no better alternative, no dealer offer, withdrawn offers, declined recommendations, results below forecast, delays and cases where auction remained the best option.

Start the next decision with evidence.
