Frequently Asked Questions
KBB Instant Cash Offer program provides dealers with leads from people who have submitted their car's details to the KBB website. It is a passive acquisition channel: the seller picks a store to redeem the offer at, that store gets the lead, and the offer stays valid at any participating dealer for seven days, so sellers expect a fast response. VAN is an "active" acquisition strategy and reaches cars for sale by people who would not have otherwise considered selling to a dealer. VAN integrates with KBB ICO, so dealers can run both together, pairing those inbound KBB leads with VAN's active outreach to cover the full private-party market.
Yes. VAN and VINCUE are now partners. VAN's private-party inventory feed is integrated directly into VINCUE's Buy Center Pro through VAN Mode, so dealers who use VINCUE can pull VAN's marketplace listings inside the platform they already work in every day. The sync runs both directions: VAN acquisition targets appear inside VINCUE, and VINCUE appraisal insights flow back into VAN. VINCUE also applies your full buy plan, including recon, pack, expenses, and projected profit, to every VAN vehicle the moment it surfaces. Together, VAN and VINCUE give dealers a complete acquisition-to-merchandising workflow.
VAN and VETTX are both private-party acquisition platforms. Both aggregate consumer listings, surface seller contact information, and give dealers the tools to reach out and buy directly from the public. VETTX is a capable, well-regarded option, and for many dealers the decision comes down to fit rather than one being better than the other.
Where VAN tends to stand out:
- VAN gives dealers access to more listings than any other tool, so your team sees more available cars.
- VAN offers an optional Managed Buyer service, where VAN's own trained buyers handle outreach, appointments, and purchases for you, not just software.
- Every dealer gets a dedicated Acquisition Coach and a structured onboarding path.
- Transparent monthly pricing with flexible, dealer-friendly terms.
If you want self-serve software for an in-house buying team, VETTX is a strong fit. If you want the most listings plus the option to have VAN do the buying for you, that's where VAN fits best. See the full VAN vs VETTX comparison.
VAN integrates with most CRM systems, KBB ICO, Automotive Mastermind, Roadster, and vAuto. VAN makes your existing process trackable, efficient, and scalable allowing your team to buy more cars. See everything VAN connects with on our integrations page.
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!
