One Million Cars. One Lesson: Buy Right or Lose.

Monday General Session

What separates Texas independent dealers who scale from those who struggle? According to John Clay Wolfe, it starts with how you acquire.

Wolfe, President and Founder of GIVE ME THE VIN™ (GMTV), built a $2 billion wholesale platform on a single 60-second valuation process. Over 30 years and nearly a million vehicles across consumer, classic, and luxury markets, he's developed an approach to acquisition and vehicle liquidity that cuts through the noise — and translates directly to your dealership.

In this session, Wolfe shares the strategies behind GMTV's growth — from consumer acquisitions and auction remarketing to what he's learned from industry veteran Robert Hollenshead and how AI is already reshaping the way smart dealers value and move inventory. You'll leave with a sharper eye for the deals worth taking, and the ones worth walking away from.
