What is the NADA Show?

NADA stands for National Automobile Dealers Association, an annual gathering of automotive dealers from around the country and abroad. The event features educational sessions, keynote speakers, product demonstrations and networking opportunities. It is the perfect place for dealership owners and industry peers to learn more about the industry and discuss ways to improve their businesses.

What did VAN do at NADA?

At this year's NADA show, VAN was excited to be a part of numerous conversations with dealers and dealership owners about how they can increase their profits through private party vehicle acquisitions. Our discussions made it increasingly clear that this is an area many dealers are looking into to stay competitive in today's ever-changing market. We shared stories of successful private-party acquisitions that have proven effective for dealerships nationwide and discussed how other dealers could benefit from similar strategies. Our goal was to empower dealers by giving them the tools they need to maximize their profits through private-party purchases.
