The whole sale calendar read overnight, every lot graded and scored, before anyone opens a browser.
ADESA is one of the two dominant wholesale auto auction networks in North America, running physical and digital sales with published run lists, condition grades and sale calendars. Everything a buyer needs to decide is on the platform — the problem is that it is spread across sales, lanes and separate condition reports, and it is only useful before the sale, not after.
Buyers work to a deadline that does not move. If a run list takes two hours to review by hand, the lots at the bottom get less attention than the lots at the top, and that is where money quietly leaks. Reading the whole calendar overnight and scoring every lot against your buy box means the shortlist is ready before the sale, ranked by margin rather than by lane order.
ADESA requires an authenticated dealer session, expires tokens quickly, and delivers run lists and condition reports through separate internal endpoints that rate-limit independently. The build drives your own licensed session with proper token lifecycle handling, fetches condition reports in a paced second pass rather than hammering them alongside the list, and resumes cleanly if a sale is large enough to span a refresh.
Excel, CSV, JSON, a Google Sheet that refreshes on a schedule, a direct write into MySQL or Postgres, or a REST endpoint your own tools can query.
Yes. The automation drives the licensed session you already hold — it does not create access you do not have, and I do not share credentials between clients. Without a dealer login there is no version of this that works or that would survive an audit.
Yes, and the condition report is where most of the value is — announced defects and estimated recon are what turn an asking price into a landed cost. They are fetched in a paced second pass so the volume does not trip rate limits.
That is the usual build. ADESA run lists joined against Manheim MMR on VIN gives you the spread per lot directly, which is the number that decides whether to bid. Both sides run on your own accounts.
Not if it is paced properly, which is a design constraint here rather than an afterthought. The lookup rate is set to look like a heavy human user, because a system that costs you your dealer account has negative value regardless of how fast it runs.
Run-list extraction with scoring typically runs $600 to $1,200. Adding condition reports and MMR reconciliation pushes it higher. Recurring systems are a build fee plus a small monthly amount for hosting and fixes.
