I do! We tried using it at our store a couple years ago when private party buying services were all the rage. I don't think we bought a single car from them in the 4 months we tried it. I like the idea but the reality is that most people 'know what they have' these days, so deals are few and far in between. You'll essentially be buying from the public at a retail number, if Vettx manages to get a hold of the customer at all. You're better off going into VAuto, using the Private Party Listing report, and have someone in the store appraise/reach out.

Good to hear from you as well!
If you're the only person in your market using a service like VetteX it could potentially work but once you get a few dealers in/around the same zip code, you're now competing against other stores and the private party seller. If I recall, it wasn't too expensive so it might be worth a trial. The only effort on your part is appraising the cars, VetteX does the rest.

Hope all is well and if you have any other questions feel free give me a call!

@john.quinn I built a similar solution that I'm having a couple of dealers test right now. If you'd like to give it a spin and give me some feedback I'd be happy to search your local zipcodes. Searches Facebook, OfferUp, Cars.com, CarGurus, AutoTrader, and Craigslist for local private party sales!
