At Salvage Car Auctions, we offer our members the best auction experience with three convenient ways to bid & buy salvage, clean and repairable cars for sale.
Buy It Now
Bypass pre-bidding and live digital auctions on certain vehicles by instantaneously purchasing cars online with our "Buy It Now" option. Although you may still bid on vehicles with the "Buy It Now" option if you'd like, you can also purchase them immediately at a pre-set price. View all "Buy It Now" cars for sale available right now.
Pre-Bid
Preliminary bidding, also known as a pre-bid, is a convenient type of bidding option which allows you to place an incremental value bid up to 1 hour before the live auto auction starts. Your pre-bid will be presented during the live auction and could be the winning bid if no other bidder submits a higher bid either during the live auction or during the pre-bidding phase.
Bid Live
Live bidding is a type of internet bidding that allows you to place virtual bids on cars in real time. Enjoy the excitement of fast-paced online live auto auctions from anywhere, anytime. Participating in live car sales is easy; you compete against other bidders by placing incremental bids to become the high bidder and win the sale of the vehicle. Find cars & bids live today!

Feedback from Our Customers
Jack Thompson
SCA is a lifesaver! I was looking for a great deal on a car, and their auction made it easy to find the perfect vehicle. The selection was great, and the prices were unbeatable. I got my dream car at a fraction of what I would have paid at a dealership. Thanks!

I was a little nervous about buying a car online, but they made it a breeze. The website was user friendly, and the process was straightforward. The customer service was helpful and answered all my questions. I won a car, and the experience exceeded my expectations. I'll be using them for all my future car purchases.
