Frazer and Motorvar are built for different lots. Here is an honest look at both, with every Frazer fact taken from Frazer's own website and linked to the page it came from.
Who each one is for.
Motorvar
Independent used-car lots that want each car's costs, recon, listing, leads and deal on one record, with every feature at one monthly price, and that handle financing paperwork somewhere else.
Frazer
Frazer says it's "For Used Car Dealers Like You". Both of its plans include inventory, sales processing, forms printing, buy-here-pay-here and a "Full Accounting Suite", and it lists over 70,000 forms. Source: Frazer home page, Frazer pricing, Frazer forms

When Frazer is the better fit.
- You run buy-here-pay-here or a cash lot that lives on paperwork, and want forms, buy-here-pay-here and accounting in one program from $129 a month. Source: Frazer pricing
- You need state forms and compliance handled for you: Frazer lists over 70,000 forms, free custom forms programming, and compliance items such as Buyers Guides, OFAC and IRS 8300. Source: Frazer forms, Frazer overview
- You want free, unlimited phone support, including on Saturdays. Source: Frazer support
Motorvar doesn't print state forms, run buy-here-pay-here or keep your books, so a lot that needs all three in one program is better off with Frazer.
How to switch from Frazer.
Not published: Frazer's site doesn't describe an export or migration path, so ask Frazer for spreadsheet exports of your inventory and customers before you leave.
Then bring your records into Motorvar in this order: cars, customers, leads and past deals, as CSV files that use our template's column names. Motorvar checks every row before it saves anything, and if an inventory import goes wrong, you can undo it.
