Used Car Buyer at Archibald's Auto Sales in Kennewick

Vehicle Acquisition Specialist

If you have a passion for cars, being a professional car buyer might just be the job for you. An acquisition specialist at Archibald’s is a very important role as we need to find nice cars and a lot of them. Your primary responsibility will be talking to clients who wish to sell vehicles to us.

In this role, you will use Kelley Blue Book’s proprietary software to analyze vehicles and determine a value. You will review this information with clients and help guide them through a quick process that ends in a check being issued for the vehicle.

In this position, you will spend the majority of your time on the phone speaking with individuals eager to sell their vehicles. Success in this role requires excellent communication skills. You need to be an individual who can talk to a stranger and immediately strike up a friendly conversation yet be a great listener at the same time.
