Description
CarMax stands as the leading used-car retailer in the United States, providing an extensive array of quality pre-owned vehicles that customers can conveniently explore, compare, and buy either online or at one of its over 250 locations across the nation. Renowned for its no-haggle, transparent pricing approach, CarMax eliminates the need for traditional negotiations by offering a set price for every vehicle, thereby simplifying the purchasing process for consumers. The company acquires used cars from individuals, fleet auctions, and various other avenues, meticulously reconditions and inspects them, and then markets these vehicles alongside comprehensive history reports to ensure that buyers feel secure in their purchases. Additionally, CarMax enhances the shopping experience with online research tools that facilitate browsing through the inventory, filtering by criteria such as make, model, price, and mileage, while also allowing potential buyers to pre-qualify for financing with little effect on their credit scores. This commitment to customer satisfaction and transparency has solidified CarMax's reputation as a trusted name in the automotive retail industry.
Description
Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is an automotive software platform built to help car dealerships acquire high-quality used vehicles directly from private sellers—without relying on auctions. As wholesale prices rise and vehicle availability tightens, VAN empowers dealers with tools to source inventory faster, more profitably, and with greater control.
VAN aggregates local FSBO (for-sale-by-owner) listings, applies real-time market data to assess profitability, and automates communication with sellers at scale. Buyers can manage leads, track seller conversations, and streamline acquisition workflows through an intuitive CRM-style dashboard designed specifically for dealership teams.
For dealers who don’t have dedicated acquisition staff, VAN offers a Managed Buyer program, pairing stores with expert buyers who actively source, engage, and negotiate with private sellers on their behalf—saving time and boosting acquisition volume without internal hiring.
VAN is trusted by hundreds of dealerships across North America—from independent rooftops to franchise groups—looking to beat Carvana and CarMax at their own game. It's the smarter way to buy cars.
