vAuto offers the most comprehensive and effective used car pricing, appraisal and stocking tools to help you compete within today's retail automotive environment.
Its state-of-the-art tools are powered by the most comprehensive view of the current market ever offered. This Live Market View lets you analyze each vehicle in your inventory with a complete perspective of the supply and demand in your market — not some narrow view of the history on your lot.
And vAuto is the only system that delivers truly relevant vehicle-by-vehicle comparisons. Far beyond a year, make and model evaluation, you can define your competitive set according to geographic market, vehicle trim and other equipment attributes.
With every relevant detail on competing vehicles in your local area, you can price vehicles to drive more traffic to your showroom, value each trade with a defined exit strategy in mind, and manage your overall inventory to maximize turn and profit.
No other provider can match vAuto in providing your dealership with the most relevant tools to power your decision making. We can say this because we're the first to offer them.
vRank
Helping leading dealers make the cut
Today's used car buyers use the Internet to find the best value on the vehicle they want. Their online searches produce lists of dozens, if not hundreds, of similar vehicles in their area. To narrow the selection, customers rank the vehicles with the best value at the top of their list — and never even consider the rest.
vAuto offers the only way to see your vehicle ranked against its competition according to the same standards a consumer uses to determine a vehicle's value. With this feature, you'll have an accurate picture of what the consumer sees, allowing you to make the necessary adjustments to rank higher on an online buyer's shopping list.
Days Supply
The most powerful number you've never had
Every day, dealers across America ask themselves these questions:
Is this a car I want to stock?
If so, how much do I want to pay for it?
If I own it, how much should I ask for it?
vAuto delivers the answers with the industry's first days supply for used vehicles.
In the past, dealers based decisions on intuition and vehicle age — supply and demand for a vehicle was anybody's guess. Now, the hidden market for any vehicle is revealed in one powerful number — vAuto's Days Supply.
vAuto scours the market to collect information no other provider can offer. We identify every competing vehicle according to every factor a car competes on — far beyond just year, make, model and trim level.
Equipped with this accurate, real-time Used Car Days Supply, you can determine if supply and demand are working in your favor and maximize your profit without sacrificing turn.
rBook
The industry's first retail valuation book
Wholesale books can only provide an indication of a vehicle's value. vAuto's rBook is the first book to reveal a vehicle's velocity in the current retail market. Now you can make used car appraisals based on up-to-the-minute data about all vehicles moving in and out of your market. See a profile of your vehicle in a familiar format, and refine your competitive set according to the most relevant attributes — at a level of detail no one else can offer.
