Cars.com buys DealerClub for up to $113M to tap into the wholesale used car market.

Cars.com acquired DealerClub, a digital wholesale car auction platform, for $25 million, with a potential additional $88 million based on performance. This move aims to expand Cars.com's presence in the large, $10 billion wholesale used car market and introduce a transactional revenue stream. DealerClub serves over 650 dealers, focusing on transparency in wholesale transactions. Cars.com expects the acquisition to have minimal revenue impact in 2025 and plans to invest in scaling DealerClub.
