Manheim Auctions Announces 'Budget Blowout' Sales Events
Manheim Auctions and Budget Rent-a-Car are teaming up for an exciting summer as they host the first-ever “Budget Blowout” sales at Manheim Auctions across the nation.
The “Budget Blowout” sales give dealers the opportunity to bid on a wide selection of Budget vehicles, including more than 50 different makes and models -- led by a strong inventory of Ford Rangers -- from Budget’s 2000 and 2001 fleets.
“Dealers won’t want to miss this opportunity to choose from an incredible selection of Budget vehicles,” said Mike Moumousis, Manheim’s vice president of national accounts. “It’s an ideal time for dealers to acquire great values on quality vehicles.”
Manheim Auctions kicked off the “Budget Blowout” sales at Florida Auto Auction in Ocoee, Fla., on May 22. Manheim Auctions will hold 56 more “Blowout” sales at 17 different auction locations through June 29.
Dealers will be able to register for the chance to win free car rentals from Budget Rent-a-Car with the purchase of 10 or more Rangers. Manheim Automotive Financial Services (MAFS) will be on hand to provide a credit extension to dealers who have reached their limits on all Ford Ranger purchases at participating Manheim auctions.
