DENVER -

As part of a broader state-by-state roll-out plan, Denver-based DealersLink has announced its entry into Illinois.

The company, which is focused on helping dealers source and acquire used vehicles for their retail markets, says it is aggressively expanding and signing on new dealerships in the Prairie State with a focus on further expansion into Midwest markets.

The company’s model focuses on data-driven technology, inventory management apps, an understanding of car-industry market trends, and dealer-centric strategies that focus on increasing turn vehicle turn rates and grosses and optimizing inventory mix.

DealersLink features more than $1 billion in used inventory in stock and no wholesale transaction fees. Members use its marketplace daily to stock their lots with clean, reconditioned units, locate hard-to-find vehicles for their customers, sell inventory without incurring wholesale losses, arrange book-for-book trades, and manager their inventory with analytic tools.
