The Adesa auction is for dealers only. General public is not allow to participate. They do provide us with a list of completed auction pricing.
Having said that, I would agree with the other person here when you are looking at comparitive pricing, canada trader is likely your best bet. I find ebaymotors difficult as most vehicles are out of the US. again, some of those vehicles sell at retail while others are at wholesale.
In this market its really tough to guage the value of a vehicle. As I mentioned earlier, its whatever the market is dictating at this point. I have been blown away at what some dealers are paying for vehicles and wonder to myself how can they possible make any money at those prices, but they seem to be doing just fine.
If you are lookin at a specific vehicle, PM me and maybe I can help you out with some pricing. Just remember its a guideline only.
