Doubled retail sales. 60 → 120 cars/month.
How? Consumer acquisition as a real strategy, not an experiment.
The inventory is already in your market. You just need a system to reach it.
We created the consumer vehicle acquisition category in 2013.
Since then: one product, one mission, one focus.
Helping dealers source inventory directly from consumers.

"We don't go to auctions anymore."
More dealers are saying this every month. Consumer-acquired vehicles are cleaner, closer, and more profitable.
13 years ago we built the platform to make it possible. Today it's becoming the standard.
Consumer acquisition tip:
Don't lead with "I want to buy your car."
Lead with: "I saw your vehicle listed online. I'm an acquisition specialist at [dealership] and we're actively looking for that model. Interested in a quick, hassle-free sale?"
Problem-solving > selling.
Your next acquisition isn't at the auction.
It's a consumer 15 minutes from your store, listing their car right now.
VAN connects you to those sellers — systematically, every day.

Your buy center is only as good as your data.
VAN pulls from more consumer vehicle listing sources than any other platform in the space.
More sources = more vehicles = more margin.

Quick math for dealer principals:
Auction vehicle:
- Buy fee + transport + 2-3 days transit + higher recon
Consumer vehicle:
- In your market + cleaner + faster to front line + better margin
VAN makes the second option systematic.

One dealership acquired 60 cars from consumers in a single month. Zero auction wins.
Their cost per acquisition dropped. Their margins went up. And they never waited for transport.
That's the consumer acquisition model.
Auctions aren't your only option for sourcing inventory.
Dealerships are acquiring 20-60+ vehicles per month directly from consumers — at better margins than the lane.
We've been building this since 2013.

Hiring a buyer = endless training, managing, turnover, and tuning. Outsourced buyer? All that’s baked in, minus the hassle.

In-house hire or outsource? If you're all about autonomy, go internal. But if you're about speed, playbooks, and results—fast—outsourced is the move.

Think “outsourced” means “outsider”? Think again. These buyers join your Slack, your CRM, your culture - just don’t take up office space.

Want 5–10 cars acquired in month one, without the hiring admin? Yeah, that’s real. VAN’s outsourced buyers make it happen.

Hiring sucks - especially when your buyer is slow, not skilled, and still shadowing. Outsourced = 100% private‑party focus, accountability, and results.

Wish you could clone a high‑performing used‑car buyer? You basically can—without the HR headaches. Outsource with VAN and skip the drama.

Stop stretching your team thin. An in-house buyer takes months to train—outsourced ones are live in 30–45 days, dialing FSBO deals like a pro.

Having a dedicated buyer is crucial if you're aiming to excel. But what happens when that buyer is absent or needs more input from peers?
