Black Book Announces New iPhone Applications for

Collectible Vehicle and Powersports Values

 

 

Gainesville, GA – Black Book® announced today the availability of their newest iPhone Applications – iCollectible Cars and iPowersports.  They join the recently released and very popular iUsed Car. These new apps, available through the Apple® iStore, reside on the iPhone or iTouch device to maximize both speed and ease of use. 

 

iCollectible Cars features market driven values from the Black Book CPI Collectible Vehicle Value Guide for collectible cars and light trucks produced from 1946 through 2010, with a special emphasis given to muscle cars, pony cars, sports cars, American classics, and exotics.  An easy to use drilldown vehicle lookup makes finding specific vehicles easy.  Retail values are given for cars in three condition categories: Fair, Good, and Excellent.

 

iPowersports features market driven values from the Black Book Official Motorcycle and Powersports Value Guide for motorcycles, all terrain vehicles (ATVs), dirt bikes, snowmobiles, and personal watercraft produced from 1981 to the present.  Values are supplied for several categories, including Retail, Fair Condition Trade In, Clean Condition Trade In, Auction Wholesale, Finance Advance, Original MSRP, Engine Displacement, and Number of Cylinders.

 

Tom Cross, President of Black Book, commented: “The response to our first iPhone application, iUsedCar, has been tremendous.  Many subscribers asked when we would have similar apps available for some of our specialty guides, and I’m pleased to announce that they are now available.  Both the CPI Value Guide and the Official Motorcycle and Powersports Value Guide are considered to be leaders in their field, and we are happy to be able to offer their content in a cutting edge delivery system such as the iPhone.  Now dealers and consumers will be able to quickly access these values on a device that they already carry with them on a daily basis.”
