CARFAX Description
CARFAX gathers data from over 112,000 sources, which includes every motor vehicle agency across the U.S. and Canada, in addition to various auto auctions, police and fire departments, collision repair shops, rental agencies, and fleet management services. Their Vehicle History Reports™ cover all used cars and light trucks from the 1981 model year onwards. By utilizing the distinctive 17-character vehicle identification number (VIN), CARFAX can quickly produce a report from a database that consists of more than 26 billion records. Each report provides critical information that may influence a buyer's decision regarding the purchase of a used vehicle. Furthermore, the CARFAX Buyback Guarantee minimizes the risks associated with buying pre-owned cars; if a report does not reveal a DMV-issued branded title, such as salvage or odometer discrepancies, CARFAX pledges to repurchase the vehicle at the full price. This assurance is a significant benefit for consumers who want peace of mind when investing in a used vehicle.

Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN)
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.
