How does what you’re seeing in the lanes compare with the wholesale market at large?

Join ARA tomorrow (October 14) at 2 PM ET for "The Wholesale Pulse: 2026 Trends and Outlook," featuring Laurence Dixon, CAR, Vice President of Auction Data Solutions/AuctionNet® at NAAA.

Drawing from AuctionNet® data covering 265 member auctions and more than 150,000 sales each week, Larry will put 2026 activity into context, from shifts in consignment and pricing to what the data is showing for EVs and hybrids.

It’s an opportunity to compare your own results against the broader market and get a clearer read on the factors likely to affect auction volume and values heading into 2027.

Wholesale remarketing is seeing changes on several fronts, from new vehicle grading standards and a major acquisition to rising transport costs.

What do dealers really need to see before they’ll confidently bid on an EV?

At Summer Roundtable, the EV Readiness Committee took that question directly to the consignor’s customer, bringing the dealer perspective into the conversation.

The recorded session digs into what has burned dealers at auction, what information belongs in an EV condition report, and what could give buyers greater confidence in the lane.

Moderated by Jeremy Louisos (Preowned Auto Logistics); featuring Jason Kopp (Autobahn BMW) and Nick Delikat (Autobahn Porsche).

Good professionals know that growth doesn’t stop when the workday ends. And sometimes, the best way to make career progress is with a little boost from a colleague.

ARA’s volunteer CAR proctors believe in certification so much that they give their time to help fellow remarketers reach their goals. Their support helps strengthen knowledge and elevate individuals across our industry, and we’re grateful for every member who steps up to make it happen!

👏 Thank you to our CAR proctors for helping colleagues take the next step in their professional development.

What are you getting out of your membership? 🤷‍♀️

Being part of the ARA community opens the door to valuable resources, educational opportunities, industry connections, and ways to get involved. But knowing where to start, who to talk to, and which benefits align with your goals isn't always obvious.

🤝That's where the ARA Ambassador Program comes in. An experienced member can walk you through a wide variety of benefits and connect you with people who share your interests.

It takes just a little time to get acquainted, but the conversation could reveal opportunities you haven't tapped into yet.
