Getting Started with Auction Run List

To get started, go to Inventory from the main menu, then select Auction Run List.

Or just choose Auction Run List from the Quick Links on the Homepage:

DealerCenter partners with major auction houses like ADESA, Manheim, Copart, and Smart Auction to bring you a comprehensive list of available vehicles. Whether the auction is online or in-lane, you can find the inventory you need in DealerCenter’s Auction Pro.

 


Using Auction Search Filters

Use the search and filter options to narrow down auction results by items such as:

  • Upcoming auction sales
  • Auctions and vehicles within a specific distance from your dealership
  • Specific years, makes, or models
  • Specific auction houses or auction sites

This allows you to plan ahead and make informed decisions about which vehicles to buy, how much to pay, and your expected profit margins.

 


Auction Run List Results Page

The Auction Run List results page displays useful information for each vehicle, including the year, make, model, mileage, lane number, run number (for in-lane auctions), and sale date.

You can favorite vehicles and access this list on the DealerCenter mobile app during the auction.

 


Looking at a Specific Vehicle on Auctions

Selecting a vehicle from the Auction Run List will take you to the vehicle details page, which includes valuation tools, book values, and vehicle history reports.

If you are a subscriber to Market Pricing Data, you can see market-based vehicle pricing to understand the vehicle's price within your market.

From the details page, you can mark the vehicle as reviewed and email its information directly.
