Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
How does KIM TRADES LLC facilitate dealer trades?
Kim works directly with new car dealerships to match inventory needs. When one dealership has a vehicle another is looking for, Kim coordinates the introduction, the details, and the transaction between the two stores — for a simple flat fee of $300 per unit.
What inventory details should my dealership provide?
The more specific, the better: year, make, model, trim, color, and options for what you need — plus VINs, stock numbers, and vehicle location for anything you're looking to place. That information lets Kim identify the right match quickly.
How does nationwide coordination work?
Kim maintains relationships with dealerships across the country, specializing in Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac stores. Whether your match is across town or across the country, Kim coordinates timing and logistics so the transaction stays fast and efficient.
How does Kim find the right inventory match?
Kim starts with what your dealership needs or has to offer — year, make, model, trim, and options — then draws on her nationwide network of Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac stores to locate a matching vehicle or a buyer for yours, usually within days, not weeks.
How are trade details handled between dealerships?
Once a match is identified, Kim coordinates the details between both stores — VINs, stock numbers, vehicle condition, location, and each dealership's requirements — so nothing gets lost in the handoff and both parties know exactly where the transaction stands.
How is transaction timing planned?
Kim works on your timeframe. During the consultation you'll set the desired window for the exchange, and Kim coordinates both dealerships — transport, paperwork, and pickup or delivery — so the transaction closes on schedule.
