vAuto Provision

This feature gives dealers a complete view of a vehicle's past before they commit to buying it. It pulls together prior sales history, auction activity, and service records, including detailed repair orders and declined services, into one report. Appraisers can use it to spot red flags early, estimate reconditioning costs more accurately, and avoid surprises after the vehicle is already on the lot.

The Consumer Offer Report breaks down exactly how a trade in offer was built, showing the valuation inputs and deductions together instead of leaving customers with just a final number. The report carries the dealership's own branding and contact information, and the messaging is written for both trade in and service lane conversations. Reports also stay stored for up to 90 days, so staff can pull them back up for follow up conversations without starting over.

This brings multiple inventory sourcing channels into a single view, so dealers aren't switching between auctions, trade ins, and missed appraisals separately. Advanced filters let users narrow results down to vehicles that actually fit their acquisition strategy. It also connects into other parts of the Cox Automotive ecosystem, including service drive appointments, lease returns, and Kelley Blue Book Instant Cash Offers, so a lead from any of those channels can turn into a sourcing opportunity.

This feature matches vehicles already in inventory to buyers who have credit challenges, based on criteria pulled from lenders most likely to approve financing on that specific car. Instead of a dealer guessing which used vehicles are financeable for a harder credit case, the tool surfaces the fit directly. This widens the pool of buyers a dealership can close deals with, without the dealer having to loosen its own underwriting standards to do it.

Wholesale Hub gives dealers one dashboard to manage wholesale holding inventory, send vehicles to auction, and track exactly where each one stands in that process. Instead of splitting that work across spreadsheets or separate systems, everything sits in a single place. The goal is fewer manual updates, and a clearer picture of which wholesale vehicles are moving and which ones are stuck.
