What are the responsibilities and job description for the Vehicle Appraisal Specialist (Appraiser) position at Impex Auto Sales?
Love Cars? Know Vehicle Values? Build a Career Buying Inventory.
Impex Automotive is growing, and we're creating a dedicated Vehicle Acquisition
Department modeled after the industry's most successful appraisal organizations. Instead
of having salespeople or managers perform inconsistent trade appraisals, our Vehicle
Acquisition Specialists focus exclusively on evaluating, appraising, and helping us acquire
vehicles.
If you've ever said:
- I love appraising cars.
- I'm the person everyone asks about vehicle values.
- I enjoy the numbers more than the sales process.
...this could be the career you've been looking for.
What You'll Do
As a Vehicle Acquisition Specialist, you'll become the dealership's valuation expert.
You'll appraise customer trade-ins, internet trade requests, sight-unseen appraisals, and
service drive acquisitions.
Using vAuto Provision, DriveCentric CRM, market data, and your automotive expertise,
you'll determine accurate market values that help our dealerships acquire quality inventory
while protecting profitability.
This is not a commissioned sales position. This is a professional appraisal and acquisition
role where your expertise drives results.
What You'll Be Doing Every Day
- Professionally inspect and evaluate vehicles
- Build market-based appraisals using vAuto Provision
- Estimate reconditioning costs
- Analyze local and national market trends
- Review vehicle history reports
- Work directly with customers, sales consultants, and sales managers
- Respond to internet and CRM appraisal requests
- Recommend accurate Actual Cash Values (ACV)
- Help the dealership acquire more inventory

Ideal backgrounds include:
- Used Vehicle Buyer
- Appraiser
- Sales Manager
- Automotive Sales Consultant
- Inventory Manager
- Finance Manager
- Auction Buyer
- Service Advisor
- Vehicle Purchasing Specialist
You don't need to have held the exact title—we're looking for the right mindset and
willingness to learn.

data, proven processes, and industry-leading technology to make informed decisions that
