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.

PrivSource
PrivSource functions as a curated, invite-only network and platform dedicated to deal sourcing specifically for lower-middle-market mergers and acquisitions. It acts as a secure online marketplace, linking pre-approved buyers with confidential seller engagements, which allows buyers to uncover off-market opportunities while providing sellers the means to discreetly showcase their transactions without incurring any success fees. Buyers can apply for access to the platform, explore live deal flows presented by business owners, and engage directly with sellers under stringent confidentiality agreements. Meanwhile, sellers can list their businesses or seek investment, ensuring they maintain control over their assets while connecting with a qualified pool of prospective buyers. Recognizing the critical nature of trust and data security, PrivSource mandates that buyers complete an application and approval process, with the majority of transactions being off-market and not publicly listed. This innovative platform enhances the entire experience through a digital workflow, or “deal network,” which streamlines the processes of sourcing, evaluating, and matching parties without the complications linked to traditional brokerage auction methods, ultimately providing advantages to both buyers and sellers. Furthermore, the platform encourages a collaborative atmosphere where participants can forge enduring relationships, potentially leading to mutually beneficial future opportunities. By facilitating these connections, PrivSource not only enhances current transaction efficiency but also lays the groundwork for long-term industry partnerships.
