Exploring OPENLANE’s Wholesale Used Car Inventory
3 mins
One of the largest factors contributing to a dealer’s success is access to inventory. Not just any inventory, but the inventory you need to keep your lot stocked and your customers happy — from thousands of exclusive off-lease vehicles and rentals to fresh dealer trades and more. Forget spending countless hours scouring auctions or negotiating with individual sellers across several platforms. With OPENLANE, all the wholesale used cars you need are in one place.
Let’s dive into the different types of inventory on OPENLANE, and how dealers can turn that selection into success.
Off-Lease Inventory
An ”off-lease” car is simply a vehicle that was previously leased. Lease agreements — which typically range from two to four years — often have mileage restrictions and require regular documented maintenance, making off-lease vehicles a worry-free (and often frontline-ready) option for stocking your lot.
On OPENLANE, you’ll find thousands of new exclusive off-lease vehicles options available daily, sourced from OEM, captive finance and rental companies.

Rental and Fleet Vehicles
OPENLANE also partners with rental and fleet companies to offer a unique inventory channel for dealers seeking reliable, well-maintained vehicles. These vehicles come from reputable sources and are typically held to high maintenance standards, meaning their condition is above average for their age and mileage.
Fleet vehicles often have highway miles, which typically generate less wear-and-tear than city miles. They also provide dealers with a wide range of makes, models and trim levels. By incorporating rental and fleet vehicles into your inventory strategy, you can grow your lot, attract a broader customer base, and boost your dealership’s appeal.
