Description
AutoTempest serves as an all-encompassing automotive search engine and listing aggregator, designed to assist car buyers in discovering both new and pre-owned vehicles by merging millions of listings from various leading automotive marketplaces and classified platforms into one streamlined search interface, thus significantly reducing the time and effort required when searching through each site separately. The platform aggregates results from prominent sources, including dealer platforms and private seller inventories, such as eBay Motors, Cars.com, TrueCar, Carvana, Hemmings, and Cars & Bids, while also providing comparison links to listings on larger platforms, such as Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and AutoTrader, where direct partnerships may not be established, allowing users to access a wide array of options tailored to their needs. In addition to these features, AutoTempest’s search tools are equipped with sophisticated filters for various criteria such as make, model, price, mileage, location, fuel type, body style, and more, facilitating a more efficient process for narrowing down results and making vehicle comparisons across diverse listings. By offering such a comprehensive range of features, AutoTempest not only simplifies the car buying journey but also enhances the overall experience for users seeking their ideal vehicle.
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.
