ADESA DealerBlock is now ADESA OpenLane

ADESA has combined DealerBlock with OPENLANE’s open sale inventory. Introducing ADESA OpenLane. Find national inventory from ADESA locations along with wholesale vehicles from OPENLANE. You’ll get more inventory, more choices and more Internet-based remarketing solutions with ADESA OpenLane. All with new tools and updated functionality.

This is just the next step as we build one marketplace—at auction and online. You will be able to buy and sell cars however and wherever you want: from remote locations, in-transit and at auction. And you will continue to see updates as we move more ADESA.com products to OPENLANE’s best-in-class technology.

Building a stronger marketplace for our customers is important to us. But it’s also important to us that we provide the best service possible as we work to earn your business every day. As always, if you have any questions, please call customer service at 866-969-0321 and talk to a real person.

I’ll be sure to keep you posted of our progress.

Dealer Spotlight

Curt Mayer is the Used Car Buyer at Marion Subaru Mitsubishi and Marion Toyota Scion in Marion, Illinois. Curt has been with the dealerships for almost 5 years and is proud of the dealerships’ Market Based Pricing which offers their customers a simple and honest sales process.

“I have been buying and selling on OPENLANE since 2005 and have consistently found a great mix of inventory online – from Mitsubishi to Mercedes Benz and off-lease to rental. The detailed condition reports, third party inspections and high resolution photos enable me to purchase with confidence. OPENLANE also makes it easy to list inventory online. Doing business with OPENLANE saves me both time and money.”
