Buy Center Software That Runs Your Private-Party Acquisition.

Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is an acquisition CRM and the original buy center software, built for dealers who want to buy used cars from private sellers instead of at auction. VAN finds the right private-party cars in your market and puts you in direct contact with the seller, backed by an expert support team. See what stores do with it in our dealer case studies. Starting from scratch? How to build a buy center.

Maximize Inventory

Our market scanning software uncovers hidden vehicles. Trained AI filters out likely dealer, scam, duplicate and salvage listings, so your buyers spend their time on private sellers. See how VAN uses AI.

 

Talk to Sellers in One Place

Text and call sellers from inside VAN. Every conversation lives on the vehicle’s page, so anyone on your team can pick up where the last person left off. Marketplace conversations sync too, with the VAN Loop™ Chrome extension.

Automate Processes

On VAN Accelerate™ and VAN Managed Buyer™, automated first-touch texts and follow-ups go out when a matching listing appears, so no seller slips through the cracks.

 

Build Relationships

Turn leads into long-term relationships. Track every interaction and integrate smoothly with VINCUE, CARFAX, vAuto, and more. VAN PACE™ reporting keeps your goal, pace, and full funnel in view.

Why is buying cars harder than selling them?Selling runs on high-intent buyers and established workflows. Buying from a private seller means sourcing, valuing, and negotiating with someone who is not looking for a dealer. That harder half of the business is what VAN is built to run.See how VAN Managed Buyer™ runs acquisition for youWhat does VAN do for a buy center?VAN gives a buy center one place to find private-seller cars, reach the sellers and track every deal. It pulls listings from 25+ sources into one feed, cut to your buy box and territory. When a plate shows in the listing photos, VAN's AI reads it and decodes it to a VIN automatically, so your buyer can run CARFAX or AutoCheck and work up a number before the first call.Your buyer calls, texts and emails sellers directly from inside VAN. On VAN Accelerate™ and VAN Managed Buyer™, the first text and the follow-ups go out automatically, and third-party seller leads, such as KBB ICO and AccuTrade, land in VAN next to your private-seller listings with an automated response. VAN PACE™ reports your goal, pace and full funnel weekly on the software plans and daily with VAN Managed Buyer™.Franchise stores, independents and multi-rooftop groups run VAN with their own buyers or with a VAN Managed Buyer™ working their market. Stores on VINCUE can run VAN inside Buy Center Pro through VAN Mode, with two-way sync.
