Benefits of Buying & Selling at a Local Car Auction for a Dealership
There are many advantages of buying and selling at our local auto auction vs. online platforms.
The internet auction process is long and slow. Many dealerships use multiple sources and auction sites, complicating things even further. The dealership will typically have to wait for a representative from the auction to arrive and complete a condition assessment, and your vehicle will either get sold or it won't -- and be sitting on the lot in the meantime. If the car does get sold, the dealership will then need to complete a lot of follow-up work to make sure the title gets processed and that they get paid. It generally takes a long time to get payment.
The process with Carriage Trade Public Auto Auction, on the other hand, is much simpler and quicker. Simply give us the title and the keys to your wholesale cars and we'll handle the rest from there!
Our selling process is as follows:
Give us the title and keys to the vehicle.
We then provide transportation from your lot to ours.
We line up the cars and sell them during our auctions.
Never wait to get paid. You get the cash once it’s sold!
There's very little dealership involvement compared to these larger platforms, making it a much easier process for those representing the dealership. Sell Where the People Buy -- we boast a 78% sold rate, which is well above the industry standard.*
