Next up in our latest Auction News Roundup is Dealers Auto Auction of Idaho, which recently hosted another vehicle give-away.

Winning a new Mitsubishi Mirage was Tom Harrod, owner of PBT Auto Sales in Nampa, Idaho.

The car was originally purchased from Bronco Motors Mitsubishi.

Staying out West, Brasher’s Portland Auto Auction and Brasher’s Northwest Auto Auction recently shared details about Brasher’s Backstage 2014.

The auctions will host back-to-back sales on Aug. 6 (at Brasher’s Northwest) and Aug. 7 (Brasher’s Portland) and expect to offer a combined consignment of more than 2,000 trucks, SUVs and recreational vehicles from their fleet and finance partners and dealers throughout the region.

Highlighting the event will be an outdoor concert featuring Sara Bareilles at McMenamin’s Edgefield Amphitheater, adjacent to Brasher’s Portland, on Aug. 6.
