Adesa

Adesa operates as a wholesale vehicle auction marketplace connecting dealers, fleet operators, and other automotive businesses to buy and sell used vehicles. The platform, part of KAR Global, offers both physical auction locations and online bidding through ADESA.com and its digital marketplace tools. Inventory typically includes off-lease vehicles, rental fleet units, repossessions, and dealer trade-ins sourced from consignors such as banks, leasing companies, and rental agencies. The service provides ancillary offerings like vehicle inspections, condition reports, transportation logistics, and title processing to facilitate transactions between buyers and sellers. Its core value lies in enabling efficient, large-scale wholesale vehicle transactions for automotive dealers and commercial fleet remarketers rather than individual consumers.
