Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CARVID Acquire cost?
Acquire Starter is $599/month for 1 user with 10 saved searches, AI seller outreach, automated messaging, CRM integration, real-time alerts, and deal scoring. Acquire Pro is $1,799/month for up to 5 users with 10 saved searches per user (50 total), priority outreach, advanced deal scoring, Facebook Marketplace search, dedicated onboarding, and custom filters. Both plans are month-to-month with no contracts.
How does CARVID Acquire find vehicles?
CARVID Acquire continuously monitors private-party vehicle listings across multiple platforms. When a listing matches your saved search criteria (year, make, model, mileage, radius, title status, price range), it's flagged immediately. The proprietary appraisal engine analyzes private-party prices, dealer retail values, local inventory levels, and market demand to estimate margin and score the opportunity.
What does the AI outreach do?
The AI contacts private sellers on your behalf with personalized messages expressing interest in their vehicle. It handles initial conversations, qualifies the seller and vehicle condition, negotiates pricing based on your parameters, and delivers warm leads with full details, conversation history, and appraisal data to your CRM.
Is there a contract or commitment?
No. CARVID Acquire is month-to-month. You can cancel anytime with no penalties or cancellation fees.
Which CRMs does it integrate with?
CARVID Acquire integrates with major dealer CRM systems via ADF/XML lead delivery. During onboarding, we set up your CRM connection so qualified seller leads flow directly into your existing workflow.
Can I use this alongside CARVID's dealer plans?
Yes. CARVID Acquire is a standalone product that works independently or alongside any CARVID dealer marketing plan. Many dealers use both - CARVID for selling inventory across social media and Facebook Marketplace, and Acquire for buying inventory from private sellers.
How is this different from buying at auction?
Auction vehicles come with auction fees, transport costs, and limited inspection time. CARVID Acquire finds private-party vehicles in your local market, allowing you to inspect before buying, negotiate directly with sellers, avoid auction fees, and acquire vehicles that retail buyers are already searching for in your area. The AI appraisal engine scores each opportunity based on local retail demand so you buy what sells.
What is the difference between Starter and Pro?
Starter is for 1 user at $599/mo with 10 saved searches and basic deal scoring. Pro supports up to 5 users at $1,799/mo with 10 saved searches per user (50 total), priority AI outreach queue, advanced deal scoring, Facebook Marketplace search, dedicated onboarding, priority support, and custom search filters. Both include AI seller outreach, automated messaging, CRM integration, and real-time alerts.
