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 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 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. buywithvan.com/request-demo

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. hubs.la/Q0470-C10

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. hubs.la/Q0470QkR0

Hiring a buyer = endless training, managing, turnover, and tuning. Outsourced buyer? All that’s baked in, minus the hassle. hubs.la/Q03FgTKJ0 #ManagedBuyerProgram #BuyWithVan

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. hubs.la/Q03FgNF20 #ManagedBuyerProgram #BuyWithVan

Want 5–10 cars acquired in month one, without the hiring admin? Yeah, that’s real. VAN’s outsourced buyers make it happen. hubs.la/Q03FglCN0 #ManagedBuyerProgram #BuyWithVan

Hiring sucks - especially when your buyer is slow, not skilled, and still shadowing. Outsourced = 100% private‑party focus, accountability, and results. hubs.la/Q03Fgf3Q0 #ManagedBuyerProgram #BuyWithVan
