Collector Car App Launched for BlackBerry

From Autoremarketing: Collector Car App Launched for BlackBerry

The Chubb Group of Insurance Companies rolled out a free mobile app this year that serves as a collector-car valuation tool and late last week made it compatible on BlackBerry products.

Initially launched for the iPad, iPhone and Android-based products, there has been more than 13,000 downloads of the Classic Car Guide app since its rollout, officials indicated.

The app employs Keith Martin’s Sports Car Market’s database, which contains more than 100,000 auction results. Collector car transaction data can be sorted by VIN, make, model and year, allowing users to figure the current market price and get insurance quotes.

Essentially, users can not only employ the app for decision-making in the market, but determine insurance costs.

The app can also be used to find photographs of vehicles sold, Sports Car Market Magazine reference articles dating back 20 years, and to check eBay and Craigslist for collector cars.

To obtain the app for their respective product, users can visit the iTunes App Store, Android Market or BlackBerry App World.

“Since Chubb created the Classic Car Guide, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. The app has been downloaded more than 13,000 times, and we expect more car enthusiasts to take advantage of this free one-of-a-kind app now that it is available for BlackBerry devices,” stated Jim Fiske, who serves as the U.S. marketing manager for Chubb Personal Insurance.
