ACV MAX Alternative for Car Dealerships

Keep ACV MAX for appraisal and used vehicle pricing, and run LeadLocate beside it to buy more cars straight from local owners and sell them with a full CRM, calling and desking.

ACV is best known as a digital wholesale marketplace where dealers buy and sell used vehicles, backed by vehicle condition reports. ACV MAX is its dealer inventory management offering, which grew out of the MAX Digital tools that ACV acquired. In public terms, the category it plays in covers appraisal support, market based pricing for used inventory, and merchandising tools that help present a vehicle to shoppers. For a store that already buys and sells wholesale through ACV, keeping appraisal and pricing close to that marketplace is the natural appeal.

The exact module list, how the tools are bundled and what they cost depend on your package and change over time. Confirm current pricing, terms and the scope of your subscription with the vendor directly. This page keeps to the category in public terms and spends its time on the question most used car managers are really asking.

That question is supply. A sharp appraisal tells you what to pay. Getting more owners to ask you for that number, capturing the trade correctly the first time, and turning the car you bought into a retail deal are jobs on the other side of the appraisal screen, and they are the jobs LeadLocate was built to run.

If your used car manager trusts the appraisal and pricing workflow you have, keep it exactly where it is. The appraisal tool sets the number and the wholesale marketplace remains a place to buy and sell when that is the right move for a unit. LeadLocate runs beside both and gives your store a retail sourcing line and a sales system that work every day.

The division is clean. ACV MAX answers what a car is worth. LeadLocate brings more owners to the desk, captures the trade with a VIN scan and photos, puts the car you keep in front of shoppers through Inventory Link, and runs every conversation, every call and every deal in one CRM. Nothing about your appraisal routine changes, and every car you source through LeadLocate still gets appraised in the tool your manager already uses.

An inventory feed and DMS access are not required to run LeadLocate. Inventory Link can import your units from your own website on day one, and if your store publishes an inventory feed, it connects and your real vehicles appear everywhere LeadLocate puts them.

Leave your number and a lead specialist calls you back to answer your questions about pricing, coverage, and setup. Mon - Sat, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Pacific.

Every car an owner sells straight to your store arrives without a buy fee, without transport and without a bidding war against every other dealer in the region. That is why the stores winning at used car supply run a consumer sourcing line beside their wholesale buying.

LeadLocate runs that line. The Marketplace Acquisitions plan delivers opt in seller leads: local owners who filled out a vehicle offer request and asked a dealership to contact them about buying their car. You draw the territory in the Leads Manager zone editor and choose the prescreening questions asked at capture. Every lead in your zone is delivered to you and only you, backed by a replacement review, so a bad lead costs you nothing. Our team builds and runs the campaigns on the webXintel Ads Network from the selections you make in Leads Manager, including your Custom Offers.

Each seller lead lands in the CRM with the vehicle on the record, and your acquisition team works it by text and phone the same day. Seller lead plans start from $999 a month, and the Buyers and Sellers Hybrid plan from $1,599 puts shoppers and sellers in one account. The vehicle acquisition software page covers the full sourcing workflow.

Features and packaging change on both sides. Verify every detail that matters to your decision with the vendor before you sign.

Appraisals go wrong when the information going into them is wrong. LeadLocate fixes the intake. The trade-in form on the lead and in the deal captures photos and a VIN scan, so the year, make, model and trim come from the vehicle rather than from memory. Each lead record carries up to five vehicles of interest plus trade-in lines, so the car the customer wants and the car they are trading live in one conversation. Our trade in capture and VIN scan page shows the flow.

The identity scanner reads a driver license and insurance card straight into the customer record, and the Deal Jacket takes the title, registration and payoff paperwork from a phone camera by QR code, so documents arrive in the deal file instead of in a salesperson's camera roll. Document AI handles VIN scanning and document reading on the same record.

When a seller lead comes in through a vehicle offer request, the path from request to appointment is short: the first text can fire automatically, the acquisition manager calls from the browser softphone or the phone app with the call recorded and transcribed, and the appraisal appointment goes straight onto the shared calendar.

Once a unit is bought and priced, Inventory Link puts it in front of shoppers. It ingests your inventory feed or imports your units from your own website, decodes every VIN against an automotive database with government safety and efficiency data, and applies stock number overrides so the number on the windshield matches every system and every text. Units still waiting for photos get promo photos and stock imagery so they can be advertised the day they land.

The inventory website builder publishes a site from a template with AI assisted copy and regenerates it whenever the lot changes, and every salesperson gets a site under their own name. The embeddable widget puts live inventory on any page, and Locate, the vehicle finder, lets a shopper describe the car they want in plain words and sends the request to your team. Inside the CRM, the vehicle insert button in every text and email composer drops a card with photo, mileage, stock number and price into the message in one tap.

A car bought well still has to be sold well. LeadLocate plans with inbound buyer leads deliver exclusive local shoppers inside your zone, starting from $799 a month, and every lead is distributed by your rules with round robin across the team. Automated Templates send the first text the moment a lead lands, Follow Up Processes run multi step drips per lead type, and texting runs as RCS with automatic SMS fallback and delivery status on every bubble.

Calls run through the browser softphone and the phone app with click to call, call recording and call transcription, and Call Alerts flag transcribed calls that mention words your managers choose, such as trade in or payoff. The phone validator and email validator show a validity dot right on the lead, and voicemail drops reach whole lists in one pass.

When the customer is ready, DealTracker desking builds cash, finance and lease structures with a fifty state tax matrix, trade credit caps and three lease tax methods. The customer deal page carries the numbers with PIN access and e-signature, and SecureWebX collects the credit application through an apply link and shares it with the lender you choose through a secure Send to Lender share.

Your account is set up for you, usually the same day you sign. Draw a territory, turn on seller lead flow for a month, and let your acquisition team work every request by text and phone. Keep appraising in the tool your manager trusts.

Measure four things: how many owners you reached, how many appraisal appointments you set, how many cars you bought, and the landed cost per unit against the same car bought wholesale with the buy fee and transport included. That comparison is the whole argument, and it comes from your numbers.

We cannot guarantee how many cars you will buy, what they will cost or what they will sell for, because that depends on your market, your appraisal skill and how quickly your team calls. What LeadLocate gives you is exclusive supply, the tools to work it and the tracking to see the result. Plans are month to month with no long term contract. Call 844-376-2274 or use contact us to map your territory.
