Buyer in San Rafael, California at Volvo Cars Marin

Position Overview

We are looking for a motivated, outgoing, and results-driven Used Car Buyer to build our vehicle inventory through direct acquisitions. The primary focus of this position will be finding and purchasing quality used vehicles from Facebook Marketplace, private-party sellers, online classifieds, referrals, and street-level opportunities.

The ideal candidate is a strong communicator and negotiator who enjoys meeting people, identifying good vehicle opportunities, evaluating vehicles quickly, and negotiating purchases that make financial sense for the company.

This is a field-based, performance-driven role for someone who is comfortable being proactive rather than waiting for leads to come in.

• Actively source used vehicles through Facebook Marketplace, local online listings, private sellers, referrals, and community contacts.
• Develop a consistent pipeline of potential vehicle purchases.
• Contact sellers, qualify vehicles, and schedule inspections or appointments.
• Conduct face-to-face vehicle inspections and evaluate overall condition.
• Identify vehicles that fit the company's inventory needs and buying criteria.
• Negotiate purchase prices and structure deals that meet company profitability targets.
• Complete vehicle purchases professionally and efficiently.
• Build relationships with repeat sellers, local vehicle owners, and referral sources.
