🚗 Top 5 Auto Auctions in the U.S. 🚗 Choosing the right auction can save you time, money, and hassle. Here are the TOP 5 auto auctions and what you should consider when selecting one: ✅ Manheim is the largest wholesale vehicle auction company in the U.S., known for its vast inventory and advanced technology. What to Consider: Ensure you’re clear on all costs upfront, including buyer's fees. ✅ ADESA offers a robust network of auctions across North America, focusing on dealer-to-dealer transactions. What to Consider: ADESA’s technology platform is top-notch, but it’s essential to review their auction rules and transportation logistics before bidding. ✅ Copart specializes in salvage vehicles, Copart is ideal for those looking to buy cars for parts or restoration. What to Consider: Understand the vehicle’s condition thoroughly—Copart often sells vehicles as-is, so inspections are crucial. ✅ IAA is another go-to for salvage and rebuilt titles, with a focus on customer service and auction transparency.

Check the vehicle’s history report and inquire about past damages. ✅ Barrett-Jackson Auction Company specializes in classic, rare, and exotic vehicles, offering a premium auction experience.

Ever seen a virtual car auction before? 👨🏾⚖️ Turn the sound ON for this 🔊 One of the most cost effective ways for dealerships to acquire stock is via auction sites. It gives them the chance to acquire them cheap and pass on great savings to customers. 💰 I always look at three things before I decide to bid for a car: 1. Service History 🔧 2. Mechanical Report 🛠️ 3. Condition Report 👨🏾🔧 I’d look at other factors too but I’d say these are the main three to look out for. It’s always exhilarating bidding at auction as not only do I want to win the car for my customer but there is a sense of achievement when you see the SOLD sign at the end having been the highest bidder. 😏 Having won the car, it gets collected from the auction house, inspected and prepped at our prep centre before being delivered straight to the customer’s door. 📦 ————————— I’m Ammar and I’m on a mission to help one billion people find the best way to get a car 🚗 In a world where car buying and leasing is filled with disingenuous, dishonest and deceiving individuals, I provide a straight forward, transparent and hassle free way to acquire your next car 😊 I’ve helped 154 people get into the car of their dreams.

Everyone loves to watch Classic Car Auctions on TV and dreams about what they would buy if they could go bid on the cars. But I am afraid most people have the misconception that every car that goes across the block at these televised Auctions are in pristine condition. That is far from the truth in most cases. Take for example this 1958 Dodge Royal Regal Lancer. It was listed as a "Frame-Up Restoration" in the auction details. So, one would assume that it is a concourse grade example... NOPE, not the case. This car had extensive amounts of Bondo/Body Filler hiding under the paint, Large areas where the paint was chipping off, bubbles forming under the paint in the rear 1/4 panels, the trim was dinged up and dented with pitting and patina throughout, the Windshield WIpers were non-functional, the horn was not working, the headliner was coming down, and the list goes on and on. But the worst thing I found was excessive rust in the floor pans. This can easily cost $1000's to fix properly and tells me if that much is visible, what else is hiding in a car like this. The buyer that hired me to inspect this car for him prior to bidding decided to pass on the car after receiving my report. I did see that it still sold at auction for over $37,000, To who? I have no idea, but I do know that whoever ended up with this had to spend a bunch more money to get this to the condition that it was reported as being in at the time of the sale.
