Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is an advanced vehicle sourcing platform built for auto dealerships that want to acquire more used inventory directly from private sellers. Rather than relying on auctions or trade-ins, VAN helps dealers identify, contact, and acquire vehicles from consumers in their local market—faster, more affordably, and at higher margins. VAN’s platform includes live FSBO listings, VIN decoding, market valuation tools, automated outreach, CRM-style lead management, and team performance tracking. The software integrates with major trade-in tools like KBB ICO and AccuTrade, and scales to support solo buyers or entire acquisition teams. For dealers who want results without adding headcount, VAN also offers a Managed Buyer program—an all-inclusive service with a dedicated buyer who handles outreach, negotiation, and appointment setting on your behalf. Vehicle Acquisition Network is trusted by hundreds of franchise and independent dealers across North America.
