Frequently Asked Questions

Southern Vehicle is building a network of dealers who see value in reaching customers beyond their traditional market. Becoming part of Southern Vehicle gives your dealership another avenue to showcase its inventory, build relationships with out-of-market buyers, and create opportunities that may not exist within your local customer base. We want our participating dealers to be more than listings on a website. We want them to be part of the Southern Vehicle network and grow with us as we expand.

Southern Vehicle is designed to put your inventory in front of Northern buyers who are specifically willing to shop outside their local market. Interested buyers can discover your vehicles through our marketplace and connect with your dealership about a vehicle they want to purchase. You remain the dealer. You control your inventory, pricing, and the sale. Southern Vehicle provides the marketplace that helps bring your dealership and the buyer together.

Your first month with Southern Vehicle is Completely free, giving your dealership the opportunity to list its inventory and experience the marketplace before paying a monthly fee. After your free month, dealership membership is Just $19.99 per month and includes unlimited vehicle listings. There is no per-vehicle listing fee. So whether you have 10 vehicles or 500, you can showcase your available inventory for the same monthly price. Our goal is to keep the cost simple and affordable, while giving participating dealers another way to reach buyers beyond their traditional local market.

Getting started is designed to be simple. Joining starts with creating a dealer account, and from there we’ll help you understand the process and the options available for getting your inventory on the marketplace. Our goal is to make participation straightforward so your team can focus on what it does best, selling vehicles and taking care of customers.

Southern Vehicle is built for licensed dealerships that take pride in their inventory, provide straightforward vehicle information, and believe in treating customers right. We’re looking to build relationships with reputable dealers who want to reach new markets and become long-term members of the Southern Vehicle network. Whether you’re an independent dealership or a large dealer group, if good vehicles and good customer service matter to you, we’d like to have you with us.

 

When a buyer is interested in your vehicle, the goal is to connect that customer with your dealership so your team can take it from there. Your dealership handles the questions, financing options, trade-ins, paperwork, and final sale, just as you normally would. Southern Vehicle helps create the connection. You build the customer relationship and close the deal.

Yes. Dealers can list both new and pre-owned vehicles on Southern Vehicle. Our goal is to help dealerships reach buyers beyond their traditional market by showcasing inventory to shoppers who are willing to look outside their local area for the right vehicle, selection, and price, especially since vehicle prices in Northern states are often higher.

Southern Vehicle helps buyers and dealers connect, but the dealership is not responsible for arranging transportation. The buyer is responsible for shipping, and Southern Vehicle makes that easy with tools and trusted transportation options right on our site. As Southern Vehicle grows and the volume of vehicles shipped through our marketplace increases, our goal is to build relationships with trusted transportation providers and use that combined shipping volume to negotiate more competitive rates, reducing costs for buyers in Northern and salt-using states, while helping our participating dealers reach more customers and create additional sales opportunities beyond their local markets.
