Buying and selling activity continues to build in the lanes at Sanford Auto Dealers Exchange (SADE), where dealers meet every week on Tuesday to bid on a superior selection of vehicles. After very successful monthly sales at SADE during the fall, Westlake Remarketing will now offer vehicles twice a month at the central Florida facility, reports auction owner Michael Tumminello.

“Westlake Remarketing has been a tremendous addition to our sale-day lineup, and the announcement that Westlake’s inventory has increased to the point that they will now run twice a month at SADE has created quite a stir among our buying dealers. It is an indication of a vibrant market here in central Florida, and we are looking forward to continued growth throughout the first quarter of the New Year.”

Tumminello notes that Westlake Financial has scheduled sales at SADE on February 5 and 19; and March 5 and 19. Westlake’s inventory will run at 2:15pm starting off the fleet vehicles in lane 6.

“Westlake’s sought-after inventory, coupled with its Dealer Loyalty Program, make Westlake a high-focus consignor at SADE,” said Tumminello.  “With buying and financing incentives, dealers who sign up for the Dealer Loyalty Program have the potential to save $350 on every Westlake vehicle they buy, translating to high selling percentages at every Westlake sale.”

Owned by Mike Tumminello and Jeff Brody, Sanford Auto Dealers Exchange has been serving the buyers and sellers in central Florida since 1991, and has been family-owned and operated since its inception. Located on 70 acres just north of Orlando, SADE holds a sale every Tuesday at 2 pm. The auction runs an average of 1800 vehicles a week through six lanes, with consignment from rental companies, banks and area dealers.
