Adesa

ADESA (Auto Dealers Exchange Services of America) doesn't sell cars, it sells fleets of cars to dealers. The firm offers used vehicle redistribution services to automakers, lessors, and dealers in the US, Canada, and Mexico. ADESA operates about 60 whole car auction sites; it also offers such ancillary services as logistics, inspections, evaluation, titling, reconditioning, and settlement administration. The firm collects fees from buyers and sellers on each auction and from extra services. ADESA operates alongside the Automotive Finance Corporation, which offers dealer floorplan financing services, and automotive salvage auction provider Insurance Auto Auctions as part of holding company KAR Auction Services.
