The auction will be held at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 24 in the center of the Expo Hall. This year's vehicle is a loaded polar white 2013 Mercedes C250W with an automatic package, leather, a glass sunroof, sport suspension, and sport styling, including a rear-deck spoiler. It has only 19,721 miles on the odometer and a clear CARFAX report.
The car will be on display in the Expo Hall during the convention, which begins Monday, June 22. The Expo opens with a Grand Opening Reception the next day.
ADESA will transport the vehicle free for the winning bidder to any location in the United States.
All proceeds from the auction will benefit the NIADA Foundation, which spearheads the association's commitment to charitable giving as well as awarding scholarships to deserving college-bound students across the United States and providing training and educational opportunities to automobile dealers and the general public.
Over the past two years, the ADESA/AFC/IAA-sponsored auctions at the NIADA Convention have raised a total of $42,200 for the NIADA Foundation. During last year's event, a 2011 BMW 328xi sold for $23,400.
The 2026 Conference of Automotive Remarketing convened with a mandate to involve a new constituency — fleet managers — and an updated mission to demonstrate unrealized value in de-fleeted vehicles.
From a Wall Street analyst's take on remarketing's key players to whether fleets need their own version of Carfax, CAR 2026's afternoon roundtables will answer key operational and industry questions.
The enhanced technology allows rental car operations, dealerships, and auctions to compare a vehicle’s condition at pickup and drop-off within the same rental or loaner record.
A panel at the 2026 Conference of Automotive Remarketing will examine how resale value is created across the vehicle lifecycle and which traditional remarketing practices still deliver ROI.
Smart operational and spec'ing decisions can dramatically improve both the total cost of ownership during use and the resale value when it's time to remarket day cabs.
How can vehicle-sourced performance data change the way fleets assess condition, time de-fleets, and set remarketing expectations? A seminar at the 2026 Conference of Automotive Remarketing (CAR) has answers.
