What Sets Capital Auto Auction Apart from the Rest
For decades, Capital Auto Auction has helped buyers and sellers connect through a public online auction and consignment platform. Our goal is to make buying and selling vehicles straightforward while providing access to a constantly changing selection of inventory.
Because our auctions are held online, buyers from across the country can participate without traveling to a physical auction location. Sellers also benefit from our full consignment services, which eliminate the hassle of creating listings, responding to inquiries, and coordinating private meetings with buyers.
Plus, vehicle transportation options are available to help move it to your preferred location. Throughout the process, buyers can review available condition reports and photographs to better understand each vehicle before placing a bid.
Why Buy from Auto Auctions Instead of Traditional Dealers
Many buyers choose auctions because vehicles often sell below typical dealership retail prices. Competitive bidding creates opportunities to purchase quality used vehicles while staying within your budget.
Auctions also offer a broader inventory than most individual dealerships. Instead of shopping one dealer's selection, you can browse vehicles from repossessions, dealer consignments, government sources, fleet sales, and more. The bidding process is transparent, allowing participants to see bidding activity rather than negotiating privately with a salesperson.
Types Of Vehicles You Can Find at Auction
Our inventory changes every week, giving buyers fresh opportunities throughout the year. We have options that cater to a large demographic of buyers, whether you need a personal vehicle, commercial equipment, or recreational transportation. There is always something new to explore.
Available inventory may include:
- Used cars and sedans
- Pickup trucks
- SUVs
- Vans
- Coupes
- Convertibles
- Luxury vehicles
- Motorcycles
- RVs
- Boats
- Repossession vehicles
- Government consignments
- Dealer consignments
- Fleet vehicles
Because inventory changes frequently, checking upcoming auctions regularly gives you the best opportunity to find the right vehicle at the right price.
How Our Online Auction Bidding Process Works
Create your online account by providing your basic contact information and completing the registration process. Once your account is active, you can browse current inventory and review available vehicle descriptions.
When auction day arrives, you can participate in live online bidding from your computer or mobile device. If you prefer a more hands-off approach, our proxy bidding feature allows you to enter your maximum bid in advance. The system automatically bids for you only when necessary and never exceeds the amount you have selected.
If you submit the winning bid, payment is generally due within one to two business days using approved payment methods. After payment has been completed, you can schedule vehicle pickup within the designated pickup window or arrange transportation services if needed.
Can I Sell My Vehicle Through Capital Auto Auction?
Our platform also makes selling your vehicle easy. You can list it on our auction platform and reach a large audience of motivated buyers.
Simply provide a clear title along with accurate information about your vehicle's condition, mileage, and features. Our team will guide you through the process, helping you save time while giving your vehicle greater exposure than many private sales can provide.
Take Your New Vehicle for a Spin Through Hartford
After completing your purchase, take some time to enjoy your new vehicle while exploring the Hartford area. Elizabeth Park offers beautiful tree-lined roads and colorful gardens that make for a relaxing first drive.
You can also cruise along the Connecticut River, visit Bushnell Park, or explore nearby scenic roads leading through the Farmington Valley. These local destinations provide an enjoyable way to become familiar with your newly purchased vehicle while taking in some of the area's most attractive scenery.
