If you’re a UK motor dealer, you’re no stranger to the challenges of sourcing good quality used car stock.
Demand for desirable, well-maintained vehicles remains strong but the supply chain isn’t keeping up. It’s not just about finding any cars — it’s about acquiring stock that appeals to your customers while staying ahead of competitors.
What if there was an efficient way to buy back vehicles directly from your existing customers, tapping into a cost-effective and reliable stream of quality used cars?
That’s exactly what AI Assistant’s We Want To Buy conversation delivers.
The Problem: Where Have All the Used Cars Gone?
Sourcing used cars has never been more challenging. The pandemic disrupted new car production, shrinking the pool of vehicles available for resale. Today, dealerships face fierce competition for limited stock, often bidding against one another in the open market.
To make matters worse, many vehicles that do come to market are high mileage or lack the appeal your customers expect.
For dealers, the challenge is clear:
- How can you acquire desirable cars cost-effectively?
- How can you maintain profitability when sourcing stock?
The good news? The solution might already be sitting in your DMS.
Your existing customers are the perfect source of high-quality, well-maintained vehicles and AI Assistant’s We Want To Buy conversation is designed to unlock this potential.
The Solution: We Want To Buy Conversations with AI Assistant
Your customers trust your dealership and value your service. A number of them may be considering selling their vehicle - whether it’s to upgrade, downsize or simply free up some cash.
AI Assistant’s We Want To Buy conversation leverages this trust, using AI-powered automation to connect with these customers in a seamless, efficient way.
Here’s how it works:
1. Daily DMS Analysis to Identify the Right Customers
Every day, AI Assistant scans your DMS to identify customers with vehicles that are ideal for buyback. It’s not just about raw data — our solution pinpoints the right opportunities based on vehicle age, mileage, finance position and your dealership’s specific stock needs.
2. Personalised, Human-Like Email Conversations
Once the right customers are identified, AI Assistant starts a natural, engaging email conversation with them. The emails feel human, not robotic, and explore whether the customer is interested in selling their car back to you.
3. Seamless Handovers to Your Sales Team
When a customer expresses interest, AI Assistant provides your sales team with all the details they need. From the vehicle’s specifics to the customer’s level of interest, your team gets a complete picture ready to act quickly and close the deal.
4. Ongoing DMS Updates
Throughout the process, AI Assistant keeps your DMS updated to reflect campaign activity. This ensures clean, accurate data and keeps your dealership organised for future opportunities.
The Results: A Streamlined, Cost-Effective Approach to Stock
Dealers using AI Assistant’s We Want To Buy solution are seeing instant results. Buying vehicles directly from customers is a valuable strategy alongside auctions or external sourcing - supporting a steady flow of high-quality stock.
This approach also unlocks additional benefits:
- Cost Savings: Acquiring vehicles directly from customers avoids the inflated prices of traditional sourcing methods, protecting your profit margins.
- Reliable Stock Pipeline: Your existing customers and database become a dependable source of well-maintained cars.
- Increased Sales Opportunities: Every buyback is also an opportunity to sell a new vehicle, creating a win-win scenario for your dealership.
Perhaps most importantly, the entire process is fully automated, saving your team hours of manual effort and enabling them to focus on conversions and customer service.
