  • A minimum of 1-2 years of relevant experience is preferred, and comprehensive training will be provided to ensure success in the role.

The automotive industry has evolved drastically over the last few years, and the way dealerships source inventory has transformed with it. We are moving away from traditional, high-priced auto auctions and focusing on what matters most: sourcing quality, local pre-owned vehicles directly from private owners in our community. Every local vehicle comes with a local story, and as a Vehicle Acquisition Specialist, you will be at the forefront of this modern approach.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role within our dealership. It offers an incredible entry point to explore the car business while providing massive potential for income and career growth.

Key Responsibilities

  • Direct Private Sourcing: Proactively identify, reach out to, and engage local private-party vehicle sellers through digital channels, service department leads, and community outreach.
  • Negotiation & Purchasing: Evaluate private vehicles, make competitive offers based on market data, and successfully negotiate purchases directly with individual owners.
  • Customer Experience: Build trust with local sellers by guiding them through a seamless, transparent, and hassle-free vehicle selling process.
  • Market Analysis: Monitor local inventory trends, market demand, and vehicle pricing models to make informed acquisition decisions.
  • Pipeline Management: Maintain consistent follow-up with active leads and build a strong network of local vehicle suppliers.

What We Are Looking For

  • Competitive & Results-Driven: You possess an inner drive to meet and exceed targets, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and take pride in winning.
  • High Motivation: Self-starter mindset with strong initiative and a relentless work ethic.
  • Strong Communicator: Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to build rapport quickly with individuals from all walks of life.
  • Adaptable Learner: Eager to learn the mechanics of the modern automotive industry, market valuation tools, and strategic buying practices.
  • Sales or Negotiation Background: Prior experience in sales, customer service, or outbound outreach is preferred, but a track record of high achievement and grit is what matters most.

What We Offer

  • Uncapped Earning Potential: Highly competitive pay structure (base salary + aggressive performance-based incentives) where your income directly reflects your effort.
  • Career Growth: Direct pathway into senior management, sales leadership, or specialized inventory management within the dealership.
  • Hands-On Training: Comprehensive coaching on modern vehicle valuation tools, acquisition strategies, and negotiation techniques.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Health, dental, vision coverage, paid time off, and employee vehicle purchase discounts.
