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, robust 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 benefits
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.
