• Collaborate with the Used Car Manager to identify current vehicle needs and align acquisition efforts with inventory goals.
• Manage vehicle sale inquiries by accurately entering customer and vehicle data into appraisal platforms such as AccuTrade and vAuto. Run CARFAX reports, review vehicle history and service records, confirm completed inspections, and ensure appraisal details reflect the actual condition of the vehicle. Assist with pricing and finalizing appraisals.
• Participate in management meetings to review objectives, planned activities, performance metrics, and continuous improvement strategies.
• Deliver exceptional customer service with a professional, outgoing, and friendly demeanor. Demonstrate strong attention to detail and follow-through during the acquisition process, including handling all purchase paperwork and ensuring timely resolution of any post-sale payments to maintain customer satisfaction.
