VEHICLE ACQUISITION SOFTWARE THAT HELPS YOU BUY MORE CARS LOCALLY

As a dealer, buying vehicles from private sellers can be a tricky process. Our software will help you streamline your private party acquisition workflow without overwhelming you with redundant integrations you don't need.

Buying vehicles from private sellers might seem like a great idea in theory, with unique inventory, avoiding auction fees, and avoiding hefty reconditioning costs. However, in practice, this process is much more complicated than some vendors portray it to be. Dealers get stuck chasing sellers who want unrealistic values, attempt to commit fraud, or don't want to deal with a dealer in the first place. Not the most productive way to spend your time.

At LeadLocate, we understand the challenges private vehicle acquisition programs entail, and we concentrate on solutions that actually matter. That starts with ensuring that you connect with sellers who actually want to speak with you. Our technology will prospect for you, and all you have to do is communicate with sellers contacting you back. This prospecting process is key to being successful with private acquisitions since you are only spending time with sellers reaching back out to you.

Once the conversation evolves into a potential sale, you can use LeadLocate technology to schedule an in-person visit or send a digital offer for off-site pickup. This simple yet powerful acquisition process can help your dealership buy quality units and cut useless outreach.

BUY USED INVENTORY DIRECTLY FROM CONSUMERS IN YOUR LOCAL MARKET

Never before has it been more evident that a car dealer’s advertising power has very little effect on sales when the economy turns for the worst, or you just have a slow consumer spending month. As a car dealership, you need to have your own in-store vehicle acquisition plan that allows you to cherry-pick used inventory buys without relying on dealer auctions.

Many car dealerships stay away from trying our direct from consumer inventory acquisition because they do not have in-house resources to run a program of this caliber. LeadLocate is here to provide you with a cost-effective solution to start your own vehicle acquisition program as soon as tomorrow. Because not enough dealerships have embraced consumer acquisition strategies, you will have a chance to dominate your local market almost instantly. The profitability of sourcing vehicles isn’t entirely what acquiring vehicles from private sellers is all about. What a salesperson should be most focused on is getting new customers they wouldn’t otherwise see.

With LeadLocate vehicle acquisition software, you can target the exact vehicles you want to buy at your dealership, and our human-assisted AI will make the first contact with the lead for you. All you have to do as a dealer is wait until these local sellers reply back. Our goal is not to overwhelm our dealers with duplicate tools that you already utilize in other DMS tools, but rather to initiate meaningful conversations that will lead to a successful vehicle acquisition for a particular party.

GENERATE CALLS, TEXTS, AND EMAILS FROM PEOPLE INTERESTED IN HEARING YOUR OFFER

We will first start out by understanding what types of vehicles you are trying to acquire. For most of our dealers, we set up targets within 20 miles of their physical location and a ten model year spared. If you are looking to wholesale or finance inventory that you purchase through LeadLocate vehicle acquisition software, we can also set a 120k miles odometer max. We can accommodate whatever business model you have, regardless of whether you are reselling retail or wholesale.

What makes our technology unique is the flexibility of targeting a broad audience of sellers and communicating with them through one platform. Rather than manually trying to manage all the different for sale by owner sites, our technology will help you organize and quickly find a seller record in one place. If you feel it is time to take your buying department to a new level, we recommend you give us a try to see how we can help you buy more cars off the street with less stress.

Plus, you can always upgrade to our Hybrid leads program, where you can talk to both buyers and sellers. This can help your dealership not only buy inventory to resell but also generate hot car sales leads from local shoppers looking to buy a vehicle. Once your account is activated, one of our account managers will help you configure all the backend settings and provide you with all the training necessary for you to be successful with our software.
