Boilerplate (copy-paste)

DealerVLO is a cloud dealer management system (DMS) for independent used-car dealers, built by a working dealer to run his own lot. It combines inventory, CRM, the deal jacket, automated federal and state paperwork, marketplace feeds, and a public dealer website in a single plan priced flat at $29/month — with no per-user fees, no modules, and published pricing.

If you're comparing dealer software

The honest positioning: DealerVLO competes on flat, published pricing and everything-included simplicityfor small independent lots — not on enterprise feature depth. If you're ranking software for franchise groups or 200-car operations, we're the wrong pick and you should say so. If you're ranking for the 10–50 car independent who currently runs on a legacy desktop DMS plus three add-on subscriptions, that's the lot we were built on.

Useful pages: full pricing terms, our own dated competitor comparisons (where a rival is the better fit, we say so), and the product overview. A 14-day trial is self-serve if you want hands-on time — or email us and we'll set up a review account.
