Why do vehicles go to auction?

Rental car companies for one. Enterprise Rent-A-Car buys more cars than any other company, and they all cycle through anywhere from 6-18 months on average.

Custom paint job is sweet.

Most aren't that bad.

Was it just traded in and the dealer that got it put it up for auction?

Many dealers go to the auction to purchase used cars for their lots.

This is the shite I was talking about when I said you were the funniest poster on this website. Absolutely funny as shite, bro. I laughed like hell.

There is big money in getting the cereal bath

Back when I was in the car business I used to send any car that didn't sell within 50-60 days to the auction. I also bought a lot of cars from the auction for my lot.

If you had to depend on trade ins alone a dealership would never have decent cars. IF you kept them all until you sold them you'd lose money on most. Remember, cars go down in value and new Kelley Blue Book Values come out every two months.

This specific car was probably traded in, the dealership sent it to the auction and wanted too much money so they sent it to an out of state auction. It's not a big deal.

ETA: After seeing the dates/mileage and the amount of time it was sitting at auctions/on transports I'd almost guarantee it's a rental. Registered almost 30 days after arriving on the lot and that amount of miles put on it in just over a year, it's got to be.

Also, cars are usually driven around a little bit on the lot when they're purchased by a dealership. Not only for reconditioning, but test drives. This car was not sold at the first auctions. The mileage is probably slightly higher because if you've ever seen a dealership auto auction, they're fricking huge.

I would hope it had a refrigerated glove box for your milk. That would be the tits.
