Frequently Asked Questions
KBB ICO provides dealers with leads from people who have submitted their car's details to the KBB website. This is considered a "passive" acquisition strategy and these leads go to multiple dealers and the sellers expect to be contacted by those dealers. VAN is an "active" acquisition strategy and reaches cars for sale by people who would not have otherwise considered selling to a dealer. Many of our dealers use both KBB ICO and VAN together.
VAN is singularly focused on helping dealers get more used inventory from the FSBO market. We've spent the years since 2013 building the best-in-class private party acquisition tool which is why we pull listings from more marketplaces, have more phone numbers, and have more available cars than anyone else.
VAN integrates with most CRM systems, KBB ICO, Automotive Mastermind and Roadster. VAN also recently partnered with vAuto for full API integration, and now runs natively inside VINCUE Buy Center Pro through VAN Mode. VAN makes your existing process trackable, efficient, and scalable allowing your team to buy more cars.
Yes, we do offer accounts for motorcycles and RVs. At this time we do not offer power sports, boats, or any items outside of autos, motorcycles, and RVs.
We strongly recommend that dealerships identify (or hire) an acquisition specialist whose sole focus is to oversee their acquisition strategies (passive and active). This role should not be blended with other existing roles.
VAN is fast, safe and easy! A “Cash Buyer” can turn an offer into money quickly and the consumer saves time. Time is money!
Our performance managers are the best in the industry! Not only do we thoroughly guide your onboarding but we work with your acquisition specialist(s) to ensure that their in-market strategy best serves your dealership needs.
We also have the entire platform documented via video tutorials (VANU) exclusively for VAN clients!
