Keep the margin where it belongs.The cars stay in the network.
Dealer Share is a private, franchise-only network where rooftops move retail-quality used inventory directly to each other, before the margin leaks to auction.
Auction is eating
your margin.
New-vehicle margins have compressed, and customer trades aren't enough to fill the gap. Auctions are crowded, expensive, and built around the transaction, not the dealer. The dealers who win the next decade will source inventory faster and with less friction than everyone else in the market.
Aged Inventory Depreciates in Silence
That SUV sitting on your lot for 90 days is bleeding value daily and stacking floor-plan interest. The dealer who'd retail it tomorrow is two states over, and you have no way to reach them.
Customers Walk Because of Inventory Gaps
When a customer walks in wanting a specific vehicle you don't have, you burn 30 minutes across six platforms and still can't source it at a price that works. Customer leaves. Lost sale. Profit gone.
Auction Becomes the Last Resort
When the unit finally ages out, the only door left is the auction lane: fees, a haircut, and Carvana and CarMax sitting front row, buying it cheap to resell at retail to your customers.
Every rooftop has something
another rooftop needs.
Every day, franchise dealers sit on aged units, off-brand trades, and loaners that another dealer would retail immediately. These are clean, local vehicles with full histories. Not mystery auction cars.
The best car you acquire is the one that has already been through a franchise service department and shot for photos. That car doesn't need work. It needs a new lot.
Built around how dealers work.
No new workflow. No learning curve.
Every franchise listing is here.
Yours too.
Every connected franchise dealership's inventory is already searchable on Dealer Share — yours included, and dealers in your region may have already looked at it. Sign up, claim your rooftops, and you can work deals on your own vehicles plus browse everyone else's. Every used-vehicle dollar either stays in the franchise network or leaks to the auction lanes and Carvana; this keeps it among the people who earned it.
Your listings stay current.
Without lifting a finger.
Inventory refreshes daily through Dealer Share by default; with your DMS wired in (CDK, Dealertrack DMS, Tekion, R&R, or anything else you run) it's real-time. No spreadsheets, no manual uploads, no operational tax on your team — and the network never lies, so what you see is what's actually tradeable.
Bundle, counter, settle.
One screen, one truth.
The transactional core. Buy, sell, trade, all in one workspace — stack the vehicles you're selling on one side, the trade-ins coming back on the other, and the platform totals the net cash owed. Counter, accept, decline: every move is stamped to the audit log, so a dealer in Buffalo and a dealer in Phoenix can handshake on a deal because the platform itself is the record.
Tell us what you want.
The network watches.
Save your hunt criteria once: make, model, year range, mileage band, radius, features. The platform re-runs on every visit and surfaces fresh matches the moment franchises in your region list them — a car you'd want never slips past unseen, and every match is a deal the franchise keeps instead of feeding to the auction floor.
List your bottom-line.
Buyers take it or move on.
The pre-auction binding-buy layer. Sellers list aged inventory at their final number; buyers click Take It and the deal is done — no lowballing, no back-and-forth. The Floor price sits next to Black Book and the auction comp range, so trust is shown, not taken on faith. Get out clean before day 70, when the spread between your number and the auction's becomes someone else's profit.
AI reads every deal.
You make the call.
Every counter comes with an AI tactical brief — what changed, where the leverage sits, what the other side is signaling — and one click drafts a reply you edit and send. Every VIN shows the Dealer Share Market Average, the 25th-to-75th percentile band of comparable listings, and where the asking price sits in the local distribution. Negotiate on data, not on gut.
Handshake to delivered.
Both sides aligned.
Once the deal is accepted it moves through Paperwork → Payment → Logistics → Transit → Delivered. The Bill of Sale auto-generates from the locked bundle; sign in one click. Three carrier quotes (Central Dispatch, Ready Logistics, ACV Transportation) side by side. Per-vehicle progress, so a 4-car bundle doesn't stall on one slow truck — two dealers who've never met close it with the same confidence they'd close it across town.
Built by dealers.
For dealers.
Dealer Share is a closed ecosystem. Every member is a verified franchise dealer in good standing. No wholesalers, no resellers, and no public marketplace visibility. You know exactly who is on the other side of every deal.
“I built this because the franchise network deserves better than feeding its margin to the auction lane.”
“I'd rather move a clean trade to a dealer I know than hand the auction my margin. This is how it should've worked all along.”
“Half my best acquisitions last quarter came from rooftops two hours away. Same brands, full histories, no surprises.”
“Aged units used to be a slow leak. Now they're a phone call. The franchise network was always the answer.”
“Knowing exactly who's on the other side of the deal is the whole thing. No wholesalers, no mystery cars.”
“I source what my customers actually walked in asking for, instead of hoping the lane has it. Game changer.”
“Every car in here has already been through a franchise service department. That's the inventory I want on my lot.”

“I built this because the franchise network deserves better.”
I spent 20 years watching franchise operators outwork every disruptor that came for them. Dealer Share exists to connect the network that is already winning and make it stronger.
We are launching with a founding group across New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. If you are outside those states, request access; we are coming soon.
