The only software tool I would fight the boss to keep!
Simply put, I could not do my job effectively without vAuto Conquest. We use vAuto for labels, stocking strategies, location stocking advantages, history reports, ranking our prices in the market and of course, appraisals. The data available from Conquest allows our team to interpret our place
in the market and our position among the prices of competitors. The days of pulling a Black Book from our back pocket are long gone.
in the market and our position among the prices of competitors. The days of pulling a Black Book from our back pocket are long gone.
- appraising cars
- retail exit strategies
- labeling and marketing tools
- Show me comps for my unit across different model years
- Make full MSRPs available for retrieval
- Show me original MSRP price of my appraisal
- Allow me to require options to be selected prior to closing appraisal when appropriate
- Show me an alert for a recall with no remedy
Use this tool to calculate your entry value, reconditioning budget and plan, and retail exit strategy. Seeing what "recent" units have sold is helpful to interpret a more accurate time to sale prediction.
- auto description tool
- preset warranty disclosure tools
- tracking serialization of photos to third party sites
- tracking SRP's and VDP's for units from third party sites.
- strong impact on speed to market and turn
- strong impact on evaluating the proper listing price
- strong impact on prediction of reconditioning budgets
It's been so long since I have used a competitive product to vAuto, it is no longer found on the list. If the other product were an Apple product, it would compare to an old iPod. Whereas, vAuto is a new iPhone.

vAuto Conquest is primarily being used by our New Vehicle Sales Department in order to capitalize on any factory incentives or deals, leverage those in order to be more competitive in pricing. It also increases turn rate by helping to identify the best selling option packages and colors, adjusting pricing based on age, and just making more information available to everybody in every department.
- Provides an exceptionally simple interface to see what is desirable in the market
- Can be set to automatically adjust pricing based on turn rate and market demands
- Integrates very well with the other products offered by Cox Automotive
- Pricing is not horrible, but could be better
- While I noted it integrates well with other Cox products, as a standalone it is not ideal.
vAuto Conquest has made both my GM and GSM's lives far easier. Being able to immediately see comps for like vehicles across your designates market with specific attention paid to optioning is crucial to providing both accurate trade appraisals as well as setting pricing for used inventory. It does an excellent job. It does not have much usage on the fixed ops side, other than the fact that increasing the below-line gross of sales lowers the needed fixed-ops absorption and makes it possible for there to be greater movement in sales pricing in general.
- Increased Sales Gross
- Lower Turn Rate
- Increased Sales Absorbtion
- Increased foot traffic through business prior to the pandemic at least.
I have used a number of other products that each do part of what vAuto Conquest does, but no other product seems to incorporate all the desired features into one, easy to use program the way Cox Automotive has done with this product. Given the enormous number of programs out there for the automotive industry, the less additional programs needed to use, the better.
Customer service has been a primary selling point of all the products we use through Cox Automotive. They have been great on every level, from implementation and setup to post-install support to technical support, they go far above and beyond the norms I have seen in other companies within this realm.
