Auto Auctions for FL Buyers and Sellers
We hold regular auto auctions for buyers, but we also can help sell your used vehicle. If you want to avoid the hassle and headaches that often come with selling your car on the open market, get in touch. If we're interested, we will sell it on consignment.
We'll handle all the advertising and auctioning, so you can sit back and wait for the bids to be placed. Please note, however, that we have limited spots available and may turn down your car based on its condition or other factors.

How can I research a car before bidding at auction?
At Capital Auto Auction, each vehicle listing includes detailed descriptions and photos to help you assess condition and features. We encourage bidders to attend previews (where available) or browse listings in advance. Look for information on mileage, make/model and any known issues. Doing your homework before the auction increases your chances of getting a great deal.
What is a vehicle history report and how can it help me?
A vehicle history report provides essential background on a car, including accident history, title status, previous ownership and mileage accuracy. This information helps buyers avoid hidden problems. Our listings may not always provide these reports, but buyers can often purchase them through services like CARFAX or AutoCheck using the vehicle's VIN.
Can I get financing for cars bought at auction?
Capital Auto Auction does not directly offer financing. However, some buyers work with their banks or credit unions to arrange pre-approval or personal loans. Be sure to confirm your financing in advance, as payment is typically due shortly after winning a bid.
How do I set a budget for bidding at an auction?
Set a maximum bid by factoring in your available funds, any additional costs (taxes, registration, transportation) and potential repairs. Stick to your budget to avoid overpaying.
