Get to every seller first, and buy the car.

Every person who asks to sell you their car, answered in seconds, appraised from their own photos and bought with the paperwork done. However many ask.

Speed to lead

Get to every seller first, even on a hundred-enquiry day.

A busy buying centre can take a hundred seller enquiries a day, and a small team can’t get to them all in time. While they wait, the seller asks someone else. Leads contacted within five minutes are 21 times more likely to qualify than at thirty.

Followed up

Every seller, a path back to the yard. The ones who went quiet, brought back by Dealerloop’s AI.

Design the path back

A seller who hears their range and goes quiet, or takes an offer away to think. Each step is written fresh for that seller, never with a figure your buyer didn’t set, and the path ends the moment they reply or book.

Written fresh for Dave

Every message is written when it sends, from what the seller told you and the range your buyer set. Never a template blast.

Questions

What dealers ask about the Acquisition Engine.

We get more seller enquiries than we can call back. Will it keep up?

Yes. Every seller is answered in seconds, day and night, whether it’s ten a day or a hundred, and only the ones ready for a number reach your buyer.

Who sets the price?

Your buyer. Dealerloop’s AI never quotes a number; it gets the seller to a range your buyer sets, from their photos, your valuation tool and recent sales.

What about the paperwork?

Licence, rego, PPSR, Form 7 and your contract arrive in one deal pack, signed on the seller’s phone, ready for accounts to pay.

Do we have to keep every car?

No. Wholesale the ones that don’t suit your yard to other dealers and keep the ones that do; either way they’re cars you bought first.
