Membership

Why Become a Member of SC Sage?

Registered members of SC Sage have access to unique and unparalleled data and content not available from any other source.

Who Should Be a Member of SC Sage?

Enthusiasts, Influencers, Market Experts, Bloggers, and Journalists

From build counts to market values users access our data to increase their understanding of vehicles they own, models under consideration for purchase or marques to be covered in the media. Use of our data and analytics in forums, social media and other media is not prohibited but attribution is required under our Terms of Use.

Private Buyers and Sellers

We level the playing field for consumers without breaking the bank, saving market transactors the dozens of hours it would take to gain even a fraction of an understanding of the market for a specific model, year, transmission and color combination. The money saved using SC Sage can only be measured by the utility cost of not using SC Sage. For private buyers and sellers having access to our vehicle locator and 2nd Hammer services is something never before offered directly to consumers – we are your rolodex.

Valuation Estimators

Professional valuation estimators requiring proof of market values use SC Sage to establish real market numbers. SC Sage allows screen grabs which can be forwarded to insurers and market transactors as part of the valuation package.

Collectors and Live Auction Participants

Getting access to private transactions for vehicles before they are ever publicly offered is exactly what our vehicles locator and 2nd hammer services and the exclusive Worlds Collections platform are all about. We are every broker, dealer and auction house in a single source – at a much lower cost. In addition, auction participants understand that lot estimates are notoriously incorrect and often inflated over true market values. SC Sage provides real market price checking to guide smart money bidders. Auction houses also use SC Sage to try to set realistic opening bid requests as well as to set seller expectations prior to contracting.

Brokers and Traders

If we can’t locate a custom order vehicle nobody can. You provide the VIN and pay a nominal fee and we go to work – and if we can’t locate the target you get 100%  of your money back. And there is no value comparison for the vehicle marketing and store brand exposure provided by Hammer World. Bang for the buck there is no alternative. Finally, when operating on razor thin commissions you need to know at all times where the market is and where it is going. SC Sage is the only resource for daily updated market values and direction.

Franchise and Independent Dealers

Although dealers typically have access to more resources than most, dealers do not have access to the depth or scope of information available through SC Sage, other than through SC Sage. Smart dealers realize that having every market edge is necessary when marketing and transacting in high value vehicles – where the money is won or lost in 30 to 45 day cash cycles. Taking trades requires real daily data, and consignments that are not correctly priced make the showroom floor look weak. Add to our unique data service, Hammer World – and extremely high exposure low cost marketing vehicle and 2nd Hammer – which lets you take and fill custom orders – there is no excuse to no be a member of SC Sage.

What are the Membership Levels and Pricing?

Our pricing varies by the scope of the data, analytics and other content being provided and the add on services you can access. We are continuously expanding the services offered at each membership level without increasing cost. We do not limit access to vehicles by membership levels, all users have access at their membership level, to every vehicle in our database. Higher membership levels have greater access to data, content and add on services.See our current service level and pricing.

How Do I Upgrade/Downgrade My Membership Level

You never have to cancel your membership with SC Sage. When you need to access services you can upgrade your membership to the desired level.

When you downgrade to Free Basic your purchased access continues to the end of your most recent billing cycle. Then when the cycle expires all billing stops and your membership level is downgraded.
