AutoVue AIBuy the right cars. Price them right. The leads follow.
Stock a car your market is actually short of, price it correctly on day one, and demand takes care of itself — shoppers find it, the phone rings, it moves. VIN-level media is what you buy when the stocking and the pricing went wrong upstream: a 30-VIN minimum, $3,750 a month, $125 of media budget per VIN. AutoVue’s AI works one step earlier, so far fewer cars ever need that budget.

Fix it upstream, or pay for it downstream
Lotlinx details below come from Lotlinx’s own published pricing and product pages. This isn’t strictly apples-to-apples, and that’s the point — a lot of dealers buy one when they needed the other.
| AutoVue AI | Lotlinx | |
|---|---|---|
| What it fundamentally does | AI stocks the right cars and prices them right, continuously. | Puts VIN-level paid media behind inventory you already own — “Google Ads that bid on VINs, not keywords” and Meta campaigns driven by your inventory feed.1 |
| Where the demand comes from | The right car at the right price. Shoppers searching your market find it on their own. | Purchased impressions and clicks aimed at specific VINs.1 |
| What you’re paying for | AI software. Flat subscription. | Media. Published rate card: 30-VIN minimum, $3,750 minimum monthly budget, $125 media budget per VIN, plus a $750 platform fee on the Sentinel model.2 |
| Cost as inventory ages | Flat. Aging units cost nothing extra — and the AI is working to prevent them. | Rises. More at-risk VINs means more VINs needing media budget behind them.2 |
| Effect on gross | Protects it — correct AI pricing rather than markdowns. | Lotlinx reports “$445 less markdowns per VIN compared to the market average”, achieved by allocating marketing spend against aging and markdowns.3 |
| Stops you buying the wrong car | Yes — the AI Run List tells you what your market is short of before you bid. | No. It works on inventory you already own. |
| Can you run both? | Yes — and once the pricing is right, your media budget goes a lot further. | Yes. They operate at different points in the lifecycle. |
The order of operations that saves money
Nothing here says don’t advertise. It says earn the demand first, then pay for what’s left.
Stock what your market wants
The AI tells you what your market is actually short of, down to the trim. A car people are already looking for doesn’t need much help being found.
Price it right on day one
Correctly priced cars surface in shopper searches and generate their own leads. That demand costs you nothing. Media costs $125 a VIN.
Promote the short list
Whatever is still slow is a smaller, better-qualified list — which is exactly when VIN-level advertising earns its money.
The cheapest lead is the one you didn’t have to buy
Nothing here says stop advertising. Advertising works, and for genuinely slow units VIN-level media is a reasonable tool. The argument is about sequence. Every dollar of media budget spent on a car that was overpriced from day one is a dollar spent fixing a decision that could have been made correctly for free — and it has to be spent again next month. Get the stocking and the pricing right and the list of cars needing rescue gets short, which is also when the ad budget you do spend finally goes further.
“AutoVue recommended a car I’d never have bought, priced it for me, and it turned in a week. That’s when I saw the magic.” Jose Marrufo — Auto One Finance, Greer, SC
