Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN)
Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is a purpose-built vehicle sourcing platform that enables car dealerships to acquire high-margin, fast-turning used vehicles directly from private sellers—bypassing auctions, reducing acquisition costs, and accelerating inventory turn.
Today’s automotive market is more competitive than ever. Wholesale prices are climbing, auction fees are rising, and reconditioning delays eat into profitability. VAN solves this by giving dealers the tools and talent they need to target, engage, and acquire for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) vehicles in their local market with speed and efficiency.
With VAN, dealers can:
Access thousands of local private-party listings in real time
Use AI-powered filters to find the most profitable cars
Automate personalized outreach and follow-up with sellers
Track communications, tasks, and acquisition progress in one unified CRM
Eliminate auction fees, transport delays, and wholesale surprises
For stores that lack time or staff to do this work in-house, VAN also offers a Managed Buyer program—a turnkey service where VAN’s expert acquisition team works on your behalf to find, contact, and negotiate with private sellers. It’s like hiring a full-time buyer without the overhead.
Whether you're a single rooftop looking for more control or a large group scaling a private-party acquisition strategy, VAN adapts to your dealership's workflow and goals. Dealers using VAN regularly see faster turn times, higher front-end grosses, and more predictable inventory pipelines.
Trusted by over 250 rooftops across the U.S. and Canada, VAN is how modern dealers compete with Carvana, CarMax, and other direct-to-consumer disruptors—by sourcing smarter, not just spending more.

You can forgo the need to spend time or money on a business valuation firm; just enter your information into our valuation spreadsheet, and our software will calculate your small business's value for you. The technique we use is based on the Multiple of Earnings method, which is well-established in the realm of small business valuations. This multiple functions in a manner akin to the discounted cash flow or capitalization rate that top business valuation professionals and analysts commonly apply. We have refined this process specifically for small business owners, making it more accessible and user-friendly. Furthermore, we provide a free business evaluation and consultation for local entrepreneurs who are considering selling their businesses, which ensures a more personalized and thorough valuation process. This approach allows business owners to gain a clearer understanding of their company's value, empowering them to make informed decisions before embarking on any significant changes. Ultimately, our goal is to demystify the valuation process, enabling entrepreneurs to navigate their options with greater assurance.
