I have a great deal of experience with vAuto, but it has been several years since using the system. One of the challenges I remember was the lack of data in the pool. Of course any dealers that subscribed to any large 3rd party services would always show up. The problem was that vAuto missed the 3 "smaller" dealers that didn't subscribe, and were a few blocks down the street from me.
I have met with a rep a few times, and of course I understand the benefit of the system BEYOND just pricing. My state does not release registration data to services such as Cross Sell, so I have no way of knowing what vehicles are slow or fast movers.
Do the vAuto clients feel that the data pool is better today than in the past?
Do you find yourself constantly stumbling across dealer's inventory that is absent from their data pool?
Where and how does vAuto get their data (other than sister companies and big 3rd party providers)?
Any help would be appreciated.
