About us

AEC CanAm is the cross-border wholesale division of Auto Export Corporation, a Canadian company with 30 years in international automotive distribution. We source competitively priced pre-owned vehicles in Canada and sell them wholesale to dealer partners across the US.

What you will do

- Source and buy pre-owned vehicles from Canadian dealers, auctions, lease-return and rental channels, and online remarketing platforms
- Appraise accurately and negotiate purchase prices that support target margins
- Build and maintain warm sourcing relationships with dealers across Ontario
- Spend most of your week on the road visiting lots and attending auctions
- Track US wholesale pricing and CAD/USD movements to guide buying decisions
- Work with the Associate Director and Wholesale Sales Rep to match inventory to live US demand

Read this first

This is a buying role rather than a sales role. Day to day, you will appraise and purchase pre-owned vehicles at wholesale rather than sell to retail customers. If most of your experience is in showroom sales or F&I;, this role works a little differently from what you may be used to, and that is worth knowing before you apply. What matters most to us is that you know how to value a car,



spot condition issues, and negotiate a purchase that hits a margin target.

What we are looking for

- 2 to 3 years in wholesale buying, used vehicle acquisition, or dealer trade-desk appraisal (retail showroom sales on its own does not meet this)
- Strong grasp of used vehicle valuation and wholesale pricing
- Sharp eye for condition, strong negotiation, self-motivated
- Valid Ontario driver's licence
- Nice to have: OMVIC, knowledge of auction platforms (ADESA, Manheim, TradeRev/OPENLANE), valuation tools (Canadian Black Book, AccuTrade, vAuto, MMR), and an existing dealer network

What we offer

- $70,000 to $120,000 expected annual earnings (consisting of base salary $35,000 - $45,000 plus performance commission)
- The salary is realistic and a good starting point but is by no means what our top buyers earn.
- Vehicle allowance or company car
- Extended health and dental perks
- Room to grow in an expanding cross-border operation

- To apply, send your resume and a short note to [email protected] . Tell us the valuation tools you use and how you currently source and buy.
