Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is buy center software for franchise and independent auto dealerships, built for buying used cars directly from private sellers. Dealers use it to buy from consumers in their market before those cars reach the auction lane.
How it works:
- VAN scans 25+ online marketplaces for for-sale-by-owner vehicles and puts them in one dashboard, matched to your buy box (year, make, model, mileage) inside your territory.
- It filters out listings from other dealers, scam listings, and Do-Not-Call numbers, decodes each VIN, and adds live market valuation.
- Your buyer calls, texts, and emails sellers from inside VAN, and every conversation stays attached to the vehicle.
- One click pushes a car into vAuto, where your manager appraises it. CARFAX and AutoCheck reports run inside VAN.
- VAN runs inside VINCUE Buy Center Pro as VAN Mode, where VINCUE applies your buy plan to each private-seller car.
Plans:
- Professional ($1,695/month): the core platform plus an Acquisition Coach™, an experienced private-party buyer who meets with your team. Every plan includes one.
- VAN Accelerate™ ($2,495/month): adds automated text and email outreach, automated follow-up for unresponsive sellers, automatic replies to KBB ICO leads within minutes, and automatic responses to AccuTrade leads.
- VAN Managed Buyer™ ($5,995/month, 90-day initial term): VAN hires, trains, and manages a full-time buyer who works only for your store on sourcing, outreach, and negotiation. Your desk inspects, makes the final buy decision, and signs the check.
Listed prices are starting rates; final price depends on territory size and number of users. Software plans go live in about four days, and Canadian dealers are billed in CAD.
VAN was founded in 2013 by Tom Gregg and serves dealers in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. To see VAN on your market, call 855-952-4949.

ValuTrax
Tailored for experts in business transactions, ValuTrax™ utilizes a variety of well-established business brokerage valuation techniques, including market methods, the buyer's test method, and multiples of discretionary earnings. Notably, the Market Data Method emerges as the most user-friendly technique for evaluating the worth of privately owned companies, as it draws upon transaction data from similar industries or SIC codes, along with widely accepted industry benchmarks. This particular method is frequently employed by appraisers and brokers who capitalize on multiples derived from comparable asset sales in the market. Despite the recognition of the valuation techniques used in ValuTrax™ by professionals in the field, it is essential to understand that business brokers and others involved in setting listing and selling prices are not always required to conform to the rigorous standards of formal appraisal practices. Consequently, ValuTrax™ proves to be an invaluable resource for these practitioners, enabling them to conduct their evaluations with greater efficiency. The platform prioritizes practicality and user-friendliness, ensuring it caters to professionals in search of trustworthy valuation methodologies, while also allowing for flexibility in their appraisal processes. This focus on accessibility enhances its effectiveness as a tool for business transaction experts.
