When you say if they want a particular vin, why wouldn't the dealership have the vin on their site?

The other thing you said

In my humble opinion using social media icons as "fillers" is a weak design choice. It’s like saying, "I don't know what else to put here, so I'll slap some logos down."

Instead of sending traffic away from your site, it might be smarter to:

1. Create custom icons that link to internal pages– For example:
   • A chat icon that opens live support.
   • A financing icon that leads to loan options.
   • A trade-in calculator button.
   • A "See More Inventory" link.
     
2. The Design should keep the visitor focused on conversion – Every design element should drive visitors toward a lead form, a phone call, or an in-person visit. Social media icons don’t do that—they just offer an exit.

If you want to keep them as a design element ditching generic social icons in favor of custom links or embedded content that keeps users engaged on your site is a much better approach.
