ADESA Phoenix recently wrapped up its Annual Legendary Sales Week, with more than 1,600 dealers participating in the three-day event.
Attendees were able to access a diverse selection of inventory during the auction’s regular weekly fleet and consignment sale as well as several special events. In addition to running several high-energy auctions for customers, ADESA Phoenix also hosted a special charity auction—a 2012 Chevy Camaro SS convertible—to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

“Legendary Sales Week is truly something to see, with all of the amazing cars, celebrity appearances and special events,” said Tom Caruso, president and CEO of ADESA. “But it was especially rewarding this year to host a charity auction and support JDRF.”
Dave Ressler of Ressler Motor Company had the winning bid on the 2012 Chevy Camaro SS convertible. As a result, JDRF received $45,000 to support their mission and research.
“I want to thank everyone at ADESA for the opportunity to participate in such a worthwhile event,” said Dan Kennedy, manager, GM Remarketing. “ADESA Phoenix did an outstanding job and was an excellent host.”

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.
