For the third consecutive year, based on number of vehicles sold, Auction Direct USA was named the #1 independent used vehicle retailer of the year. The company currently operates four Used Car Superstores in Victor, N.Y., Buffalo, N.Y., Raleigh, N.C., and Jacksonville, Fla., and plans to continue to grow their market reach. Auction Direct USA’s winning margin was more than 800 vehicles. In the three straight years that Auction Direct USA has won the Independent Dealer of the Year award, the company has sold in excess of 20,000 used cars, SUVs, and trucks. The award is open to any independent dealership that is not and has never been publicly held. Rankings were based on pre-owned retail sales for the 2011 calendar year.
“We attribute much of our success to our sales philosophy of always giving customers the best possible experience and the best possible price for a used car,” said said John Iannone, CEO at Auction Direct. “We believe this ideal really resonates with buyers who are looking for trustworthy advice from no-pressure, non-commission sales staff, and who ultimately just want a fun and enjoyable car-buying experience.”
