Vehicle Acquisition Network

Vehicle Acquisition Network Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) — the leader in consumer vehicle acquisition for dealerships. Founded 2013.

Software & Managed Buyer programs helping thousands of dealers buy cars directly from consumers. Vehicle Acquisition Network is a technology that enables dealers to identify the low hanging fruit in the market of pre-owned vehicles by offering for sale by private sellers and solutions for a quick, easy contact. Dealers are too busy to manage the manual process of finding private seller vehicles, l

ooking up a relative wholesale value and contacting these private sellers (many cases are buyers trying to get a fair value). Vehicle Acquisition Network has solutions for these dealers to make this process quick and easy.
