How much does VAN cost?

Pricing is based on features and territory and starts at $650 per month.

How is VAN different from KBB ICO?

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.

How is VAN different from VINCUE?

VAN is singularly focused on helping dealers get more used inventory from the FSBO market. We've spent the last 10 years 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.

Does VAN integrate with my existing tools?

VAN integrates with most CRM systems, KBB ICO, Automotive Mastermind and Roadster. VAN also recently partnered with vAuto for full API integration. VAN makes your existing process trackable, efficient, and scalable allowing your team to buy more cars.

What is needed from a staffing and resource perspective to operate your Vehicle Acquisition Software successfully?

Staffing needs are highly dependent on your goals. We work with dealers that have a fully staffed dedicated buying team, dealers that have sales people buying cars on the side, and every staffing level in-between. Understanding your goals is the first step in understanding your staffing needs.

What kind of support and resources can I expect from VAN after I sign up?

Our dealers on Professional and Accelerate plans are matched with dedicated Acquisition Coaches who provide ongoing technical support, coaching, and performance management for your team. Your coach's entire role is to make sure you are successful with VAN. Dealers on Standard will have access to support via phone or email.

Can you do motorcycles, boats, RVs, power sports, etc?

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.

Client Testimonial

David Long tells us why he loves VAN!

"The VAN strategy earned us an additional $4,000,000 in gross on cars we would have never found, from people we probably would have never met, that turned 4 days faster than our average acquisition."

VAN has significantly enhanced our capacity to augment our fleet monthly, thanks to the unparalleled support from our acquisition coach. Their expertise and dedication have been pivotal to our success.
