Why Buy a Vehicle at Auction Instead of a Dealership?
At an auction, buyers place bids that help set the final sale price. This gives you a chance to find good prices on vehicles you might not see at local dealerships.
You choose how much to spend and stop bidding when prices go beyond your budget. You can also compare cars online without driving between dealerships in Burlington and South Burlington.
What Types of Vehicles Are Available at Auction?
Need a small car for driving around Burlington or an SUV for Vermont winters? Our auction listings may include:
- Sedans, coupes, and convertibles
- SUVs and crossovers
- Pickup trucks and vans
- Motorcycles, RVs, and boats
Vehicles may come from banks, dealers, government offices, and business fleets. Before you bid, check the available photos, details, and information about each vehicle's condition.
How Does the Online Auction Process Work?
First, create your Capital Auto Auction account and confirm your details. Look through upcoming vehicles and set a budget that covers any buyer fees.
During live auctions, you can bid online or set a maximum bid. Our system can then raise your offer for you without going over that amount.
If you win, pay using an accepted payment method before the deadline. You'll also need to arrange pickup or have a transport service bring your vehicle to Vermont.
Can Burlington Residents Sell Their Vehicles at Auction?
Have an old car you're ready to replace or a truck taking up space? Capital Auto Auction also considers vehicles for sale through our auctions.
Share your vehicle's mileage, condition, and ownership paperwork. Once we accept it, we'll show it to interested buyers and handle the bidding. This gives Burlington sellers another choice besides meeting private buyers, discussing prices, or trading in a vehicle at a dealership.
Why Choose Capital Auto Auction?
We've helped buyers and sellers since the 1980s. Our weekly auctions make it easy to explore vehicles online without visiting an auction location.
Whether you're new to auctions or have bought before, you're in control of your buying choices. You can learn more about us or contact our team with questions.
What Should You Do After Winning a Vehicle in Burlington?
Before driving your new purchase, check Vermont's current title and registration rules. The South Burlington DMV office is nearby and may help with certain needs. You may need:
- Proof that you own the vehicle
- Your identification
- Proof of insurance
- Any other required paperwork
Once your car is registered, enjoy a drive along the Lake Champlain Byway. You can also visit Mount Philo State Park or take Route 100 through the Green Mountains.
