Indiana and Carolina Auctions Celebrate Christmas in July

You may not see snow on the rooftops or icicles hanging from the eaves…..but it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Carolina and Indiana Auto Auctions, as the auctions prepare to celebrate the holiday in July. 

July 16 is the day for Carolina Auto Auction's annual Christmas in July sale, which this year will encourage buyers and sellers to "Get Their Game On" with $55,000 in cash and prizes. Weekly $5,000 progressive cash drawings will culminate on the 16th with a drawing for the Carolina Cash Pot, worth $35,000. In addition, the auction will award a number of gaming prizes, including a four-in-one game table, a bumper/poker table, big-screen TV, basketball goal, arcade Legends Game, Wurlitzer CD juke box, and Nintendo Wii. 

Carolina Auto Auction's staff looks forward to welcoming an enthusiastic crowd on sale day, when more than 2,000 vehicles are expected to cross the block. Featured consignors will include BB&T, Budget, CitiFinancial Auto, FLD, Flexco, RSA, Triad Financial, US Bank, Wachovia Dealer Services, and Wheels, Inc. 

The action will continue to heat up through the end of the month, as Indiana Auto Auction prepares for Christmas Eve in July on July 24th. Reminding its dealers that "Tis Better to buy so you can receive," Indiana Auto Auction has been holding Secret Santa early-bird drawings at its Thursday sales since June 26, giving away a variety of prizes, including gas cards, mp3 players and digital cameras. 

On Thursday, July 24, Indiana Auto Auction pulls out all the stops with more than 800 units set for the sale and over $15,000 in prizes. The auction will introduce a new consignor to its sale lineup: Wheels Inc., which will be joined by ARI, VRS, RSA, Avis/Budget Group, Enterprise, Donlen, Flexco and Emkay. To beat the heat, AFC will be serving sno-cones to the dealers, and at the sale's end drawings will be held for a jet ski, cooler radios, a firepit, portable grill and Nintendo Wii. Dealers attending the sale will also participate in a chance to win $100,000 in Indiana's "Secret Santa Prize Box". 

Carolina Auto Auction offers the largest dealer consignment in South Carolina and one of the largest in the Southeastern United States. With a registered dealer base of over 6,000 dealers, Carolina issues more than 725 bidder badges every Wednesday for the regular lanes that begin at 10:00 AM.
