Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is private-party vehicle acquisition software for franchise and independent auto dealerships. It helps dealers buy used cars directly from consumers in their local market, alongside trade-ins and instead of paying up at auction.
VAN pulls for-sale-by-owner listings from 25+ online marketplaces into one dashboard, filters out dealer and scam listings and Do-Not-Call numbers, and adds VIN decoding and market valuation to each vehicle. Buyers call, text, and email sellers from inside VAN, and every conversation stays attached to the car it is about. On VAN Accelerate™, outreach and follow-up run automatically, KBB ICO leads get a text back within minutes, and AccuTrade leads get an automatic response.
For dealers without a buyer on staff, VAN Managed Buyer™ supplies a full-time buyer who is hired, trained, and managed by VAN. The dealership still makes the final buy decision and signs the check. Every plan includes an Acquisition Coach™, and VAN works with vAuto, VINCUE, CARFAX, AutoCheck, and most dealer CRMs.
VAN was founded in 2013 and serves dealers in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Plans start at $1,695 per month. To see VAN on your market, call 855-952-4949.

Car Dealer Tracker
Car Dealer Tracker is a comprehensive dealership management application designed specifically for independent and used-car dealerships. It consolidates a variety of functions, including vehicle inventory management, tracking expenses for each vehicle, calculating real profit margins, managing customer relationships, overseeing sales and debts, maintaining parts inventory, and handling financial accounts—all while offering role-based permissions for team members and robust analytics. The software allows dealers to input a vehicle just once and link all associated costs—such as repairs, transportation, registration, and commissions—ensuring that the actual costs and profits for each car are clearly displayed rather than estimated. Additionally, it operates offline and will sync data as soon as a connection is available, which is particularly advantageous in auction environments or on dealership lots. The role permissions feature also allows for the concealment of purchase prices and profit margins from sales personnel. Users can start for free with a two-vehicle garage, with pricing plans available for solo users at $19.99 per month or $149.99 annually, and for dealerships at $49 per month or $490 per year. However, it’s important to note that this software does not serve as a substitute for state-specific forms, lender integrations, listing syndication, NF-e, or RENAVE. Overall, Car Dealer Tracker is designed to streamline operations and enhance profitability for car dealerships.
