Abstract: The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented systems and methods for searching vehicle listings. An example method may include receiving, from a user of a user device, by a service provider computer comprising one or more processors, a selection of a vehicle identifier associated with a vehicle. The method may also include receiving, from the user device, by the service provider computer, a communication directed to a dealer associated with the vehicle. The method may further include generating an anonymous identifier associated with the user and transmitting, to a dealer device associated with the dealer, the communication and the anonymous identifier. The method may also include transmitting, to the dealer device upon determination of the acceptance of a proposed transaction between the dealer and the user, personal identifying information associated with the user.
