How to Sell Vehicles Online Like Carvana, Under Your Own Dealership
Shoppers have learned they can buy a vehicle without visiting a showroom. The question for a dealership is how to offer that experience on its own brand, with its own inventory and its own team.
It comes down to five things.
What a complete online buying experience takes
-
Let the buyer finish the deal on your website
The experience shoppers now expect is a purchase that ends online, not a lead form that ends in a phone call. Ekho puts the whole transaction on your own website: pre-qualification, lender offers, F&I, signing and delivery.
-
Price it the way the buyer will pay it
Show the full price for the buyer’s location, with taxes and fees calculated for their jurisdiction and every offer they qualify for priced in, so the number does not change at the end.
-
Handle the paperwork for any state
Titling, registration and temporary tags are processed in all 50 states, so an out-of-market buyer is as easy to serve as a local one.
-
Answer at the speed shoppers expect
Ekho’s AI Sales Agent answers questions on your website and over text in under five seconds, at any hour, and can guide the buyer into checkout.
-
Keep it your brand and your customer
Checkout carries your own logo, the buyer never leaves your dealership to complete it, and the customer relationship stays yours after the sale.
