Find an Auto Auction Near You

With so many high profile car auctions featured in the news and on television these days, it’s not surprising that large numbers of vintage vehicle enthusiasts have been showing up at the auto auctions held in their own areas of the country. The big televised auctions like Barrett-Jackson have made the general public more familiar with the auction format and seem to have also provided auto fanatics with the incentive needed to get out and try their own luck at some of the smaller local government and public auctions too.
 
Although large numbers of bargain hunters looking for deals will increase the competition, many classic cars and light trucks still cross the auction block at reasonable prices that leave room for upgrades and restoration projects. Purchasing a car at auction does not guarantee a bargain price, but it does present the opportunity to score a decent car at good price if you can understand and abide by the basic rules, terms and conditions that govern a particular auction. Although many auto auctions are open to the public, some do require a dealer’s license. However, if you’re patient, persistent and know your used car values, you can sometimes get a very good deal and have a bit of fun in the process too.
 
If you’re interested in attending an auction in your own area, here is a list of some of the larger and more established events in the U.S., listed alphabetically by state. This is only a partial listing, as there are thousands of different auctions held throughout the country each year and far too many to list here. You can always find more auctions in your area by doing your own research in your own locale, and since most car auctions are held during the warmer months, you’ve probably got some time to plan your next auction adventure. Good luck.
