VINCUE + VAN: Introducing VAN Mode in Buy Center Pro

In today’s fast-changing market, sourcing vehicles from private-party sellers is one of the most effective strategies dealers can use to acquire the right inventory. But as third-party listing platforms continue to change how they display and restrict access to these listings, staying connected to sellers has become harder than ever.

That’s why VINCUE is excited to announce a new partnership with Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) and the launch of VAN Mode inside Buying Center Pro. This integration brings VAN’s inventory feed directly into VINCUE, providing dealers with a more stable and sustainable way to engage with private-party listings.

So, what makes VAN Mode such an important advancement? Let’s explore the challenges dealers face, what VAN brings to the table, and how this integration gives Buying Center Pro a major boost.

VAN is a trusted name in private-party acquisition, dedicated to helping dealers buy vehicles directly from consumers. The platform has earned a reputation for delivering consistent access to third-party marketplaces, supported by a dedicated team that monitors and maintains connections across listing sites.

Instead of forcing dealers to navigate the ever-changing policies and interfaces of Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Autotrader, and others, VAN ensures that access remains reliable. Their focus on stability and ongoing support is what makes them a natural partner for VINCUE’s next evolution of vehicle buying technology.

For years, VINCUE’s Outbound Vehicle Buying Center helped dealers engage with private-party sellers by aggregating third-party listings into one platform. But as these platforms evolved, sourcing became more difficult. Frequent changes to listing formats, filtering options, and access rules disrupted visibility, making it harder for dealers to maintain a consistent acquisition strategy. Without dedicated oversight, dealers were left scrambling to adapt, and often losing out on valuable cars in the process.

VAN Mode is a direct integration of VAN’s inventory feed into VINCUE’s Buying Center Pro, designed to give dealers consistent, reliable access to private-party listings. Here’s how it works:

• Integrated Listings: VAN’s feed lives directly in VINCUE, streamlining access to private-party vehicles inside the same platform dealers already use.
• Dedicated Support: VAN’s team actively manages and maintains system access to third-party sites, reducing the impact of UI changes or shifting policies.
• Simplified Engagement: Dealers can search, review, and connect with sellers through VINCUE without juggling multiple platforms.

The result is a stronger, more resilient buying center that keeps private-party acquisition a dependable part of any dealership’s strategy.

Private-party acquisitions are one of the most profitable and sustainable ways to source vehicles. But without reliable access to listings, dealers risk losing a key competitive advantage. By integrating VAN into Buying Center Pro, VINCUE ensures that dealers don’t just keep pace with marketplace changes –– they stay ahead of them.

For dealerships, VAN Mode means more than just stability – it means the freedom to focus on buying the right cars for the right customers, without worrying about losing access to the marketplace.

VAN Mode is here to make Buying Center Pro stronger, smarter, and built for the future.
