How to set up Monroney Labels
The Monroney Label is the federally required window sticker for every new vehicle, listing the MSRP, factory-installed options, fuel economy ratings, and VIN.
As an AccuTrade client, you can integrate your Monroney Labels account to pull this data automatically during a used car appraisal. This ensures your valuations reflect the actual OEM equipment on the vehicle — eliminating guesswork and increasing accuracy.
Integrating Monroney Labels:
- Improves appraisal precision by including factory options
- Enhances transparency for your customers
- Supports cleaner, more accurate online listings
In this article, you’ll learn how to connect your Monroney Labels account with AccuTrade and how to access that data during appraisals.
