About Dealer Auctions

Indiana Auto Auction's wholesale car auction is the place to go if you are looking for a quality dealer auction or other auto auctions in the Fort Wayne area. Our wholesale auction in Fort Wayne serves as a venue for dealers to both sell and purchase vehicles.

Following are some of the reasons why dealers bring cars to our Fort Wayne wholesale auction:

• Excess Inventory: A dealer may send some of his autos to Fort Wayne's Indiana Auto Auction if he has a surplus of a particular make and model of vehicle or just needs to reduce his inventory count in general.
• Trade-in Placement: Oftentimes dealers accept a trade-in car from a customer during a sale. However, the brand or model of the trade-in may not be the kind the dealer would normally sell on his Fort Wayne car lot, so he sends the trade-in vehicle to our dealer auction to sell it to another dealer who does need it for his inventory.
• Slow-Selling Cars: Other dealers bring cars to our car dealer auction in Fort Wayne Indiana because they want free up space on their car lots for cars that are selling faster or more popular.

While only dealers are allowed to purchase vehicles at car dealer auctions, they are not the only sellers. Several other institutions and businesses participate and sell vehicles at wholesale car auctions, including: financial institutions, banks, lenders, repo companies, rental car agencies, state government, federal government, municipal and local government and big business fleet cars. Many of the automobiles sent to IAA's Fort Wayne wholesale auction have either been repossessed, are no longer in use as fleet vehicles, or are off-lease vehicles.

Some dealer auctions specialize in certain types of cars (for example: used, foreign, domestic, collectibles, and so on), and our Fort Wayne car dealer auctions are a great place for dealers to find the right cars at the right prices. In addition to purchasing vehicles at market price, dealers can simultaneously sell their own inventory at the auction. Wholesale auctions are a great place for dealers to sell and purchase vehicles in Indiana!
