Autotrader and Motorcycles: History Reports

Autotrader recently partnered with Cyclechex’s Motorcycle History Reports to facilitate finding motorcycle history reports on previously owned vehicles on the majority of its dealer and private seller listings.

“Working with Cyclechex, our motorcycle shoppers now have even more valuable information to help make an informed purchase decision,” said Thomas Wadley, product manager for Motorcycles on Autotrader. “Investing in a vehicle history report could make or break a purchase decision, helping prevent headaches down the road.”

Cyclechex Motorcycle History Reports include the motorcycle’s title brand history, any reported odometer readings, whether the motorcycle has been reported as “salvage” or a “total loss” by an insurance company, reports from vehicle recyclers who may have handled the motorcycle, vehicle specifications, access to the manufacturer’s recall history, and more.

“Our Motorcycle History Report has proven to be an invaluable source of information for people who are considering the purchase of a used motorcycle,” said Anthony Havens, president of iMobile Solutions, Inc. “With our exciting new relationship with Motorcycles on Autotrader, and the trust they instill in the marketplace, we’re anticipating another major milestone for Cyclechex and its ability to reach a broader consumer market for our product.”
