What is a blinkr Instant Offer?

A blinkr Instant Offer is an invitation by blinkr to you for you to sell your vehicle to us.  If you qualify as a seller and meet certain conditions (like passing a vehicle inspection – see below) we will invite you to sell your vehicle to us.

A purchase agreement to sell your car to us will be issued and, until that agreement is signed, there is no obligation for you to sell, or for blinkr to buy, your vehicle.

Seller qualification for the use of the blinkr Instant Offer program

In order to be qualified to sell a vehicle using the blinkr Instant Offer program (Program), the seller must:

• be 18 years or older; and
• be the registered owner of the vehicle being sold or an authorised representative of the owner.

A seller may not be considered a qualified seller if they:

• hold a motor vehicle dealer licence or are required to hold a motor vehicle dealer licence;
• are not private sellers.  An example of a person who is not a private seller is a person who is in the business of renting or selling vehicles or using vehicles for commercial purposes ;
• are selling a vehicle that in blinkr’s reasonable assessment does not qualify for the Program. This may include vehicles where insufficient pricing data is available to blinkr to make an Instant Offer or where we are unable to reasonably predict the cost of certain reconditioning works.

Where the vehicle’s condition does not match the information provided, your offer will be adjusted accordingly.

Vehicle Specification Errors

• From time to time, due to errors or insufficient data in 3^rd party registration data and vehicle specification data, errors may occur in matching your vehicle registration to your actual vehicle specification, and therefore incorrect offers may be presented during the online offer process.
