About the RoleBidbus is hiring an experienced automotive acquisition professional to source pre-owned vehicles directly from private sellers.
This is not an entry-level BDC or traditional dealership sales role. We are looking for a high-performing producer with a proven track record of finding, engaging, and converting private sellers through Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, social media, and other online channels.
What You'll Do- Source private-party vehicles through Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, social media, and online classifieds.
- Reach out to sellers by phone, text, and direct message.
- Build trust, uncover seller motivation, and overcome objections.
- Verify VIN, mileage, ownership, title status, payoff, condition, and pricing expectations.
- Convert qualified sellers into completed Bidbus vehicle listings.
- Maintain consistent follow-up and manage a high-volume pipeline.
- Enter accurate seller and vehicle information into the CRM.
- Meet weekly and monthly acquisition and conversion goals.
- Track results by sourcing channel and continuously improve performance.
What We're Looking For- Proven private-party vehicle acquisition experience.
- Verifiable monthly acquisition or listing production.
- Strong experience using Facebook Marketplace and similar sourcing platforms.
- Strong automotive valuation, negotiation, and objection-handling skills.
- Familiarity with CARFAX, AutoCheck, Kelley Blue Book, MMR, Black Book, or vAuto.
- Understanding of vehicle titles, liens, payoffs, and condition disclosures.
- Strong phone, text, and written communication skills.
- Competitive, organized, accountable, and results-driven.
- Comfortable working full-time from our Costa Mesa corporate office.
Traditional dealership sales experience alone does not qualify. Direct private-party vehicle sourcing experience is required.
Compensation and Opportunity- $2,000 monthly base during the initial 60-day ramp period.
- Uncapped commission for every completed vehicle acquisition.
- Estimated annual compensation of $72,000-$146,000 based on target production.
- Additional earning potential for exceptional producers.
- Opportunity to help build and grow Bidbus' private-party acquisition department.
- Advancement opportunities as Bidbus expands into additional markets.
OTE is based on performance and is not guaranteed.
