Filling your dealership lot with the right inventory at the right time and the right price can be challenging and time consuming. Fortunately, digital marketplaces can help bridge the gap so you can find just the vehicles your retail customers are looking for, faster than ever. 

But maybe you’re wondering if buying vehicles online is right for you. Let’s talk about the top three reasons you should buy wholesale vehicles online. 

Better Outcomes

Our online auctions give you access to our nationwide network of sellers and a wide range of inventory from across the country. This means you’re not limited to the vehicles and sellers available in your immediate area; instead, you can explore options from coast to coast, to ensure you find the exact one you’re looking for. And with our robust filters, you can drill down beyond the make, model, and year to the odometer range, fuel type, and more. 

On top of this, we have rebate programs and data-driven services like our Market Guide to elevate your success. 

360° Results

With OPENLANE, our complete 360° approach to vehicle buying streamlines your entire inventory acquisition process into one convenient marketplace. The result? A smoother, more efficient wholesale experience that empowers you to spend less time sourcing and more time retailing vehicles.

We help you with every aspect of the process, from thorough inspections to transport and logistics, ensuring that you receive the inventory you need with minimal hassle. Our detailed inspections equip you with comprehensive condition reports, so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting with no surprises and have the confidence to make informed bidding decisions without ever setting foot on a lot.

We also have dedicated reps who are available to assist you with any questions or needs that arise. Whether you require support with the buying process, need clarification on inventory details, or need help navigating our platform, our team is here to ensure a seamless experience. 

Flexible Marketplace 

Our flexible marketplace transforms how you source inventory. With multiple sales channels, you can buy vehicles in a way that suits your preferences and needs.

  • Day or night, anytime and anywhere—you can buy vehicles on our 45 minute auctions. You have the power to preview inventory, add them to your Watchlist to know when they go to auction, and set your Proxy Bids in advance.
  • Our Simulcast sale format is also digital, and features weekly auctions with inventory sourced from our 14 vehicle logistics centres as well as direct from sellers’ lots. 
  • Lastly, we have DealerBlock. This sales type offers many vehicles with a Buy Now feature, and an option to bid without going to auction. 

Buying vehicles on our flexible marketplace helps you find the best vehicles for your lot in the most seamless way possible. No matter which sales type you use—your wholesale process will become easier and faster. 

Buying vehicles online might seem like a major change, but our marketplace is intuitive and easy to use, and we’re here to make the transition as smooth as possible.
