Car Spotter

A car spotter is an individual who identifies and evaluates vehicle acquisition opportunities. Spotters may attend physical auctions, visit trade-in events, or scout private party listings to find vehicles that meet a dealer's specific inventory needs.

Experienced spotters bring deep market knowledge and an eye for vehicle condition. A good spotter knows which vehicles have hidden issues, which ones are underpriced, and which auction lanes to avoid. For dealers who cannot attend every sale, a trusted spotter is an invaluable extension of their acquisition team.
