# Backlotcars

> BacklotCars, Inc. is a dealer-to-dealer wholesale used-vehicle marketplace, founded in Kansas City and acquired by KAR Global (now OPENLANE, Inc.), whose technology was consolidated into the OPENLANE US marketplace. Dealers buy and sell wholesale vehicles through a 24/7 bid-ask marketplace, "Buy It Now" listings, and timed auctions, with in-lane inspections (including AI-analyzed engine recordings), transportation, and floor-plan financing. Commercial sellers integrate inventory via OPENLANE Connect, a lightweight dealer API. BacklotCars publishes no public OpenAPI or open developer portal; this file is generated by the API Evangelist enrichment pipeline from the company's public marketing and product surface.
