SAVANNAH, Ga. -

The Southeastern Auto Auction celebrated its anniversary last week, recognizing 19 years of operation in its Savannah, Ga., location.

SEAA’s 19th Anniversary Sale featured a large consignment of vehicles from a variety of consignors, including new-car dealers, independent dealers and institutional accounts.

According to the auction, it had a record-breaking number of dealers involved, both in the auction lanes and online via Simulcast.

The celebration culminated at the sale after a month of anniversary related events, with prize giveaways at every sale. In-lane dealers had weekly chances at diamond-plated shrimp and oyster steamers while online shoppers had a chance at winning an iPad mini.

The anniversary sale itself featured a free Georgia barbecue along with more than $15,000 in cash and prizes. The event also included a generous act of philanthropy, a donation given to the Shriners Hospital for Children from money raised during the event’s 50/50 drawing.

“It has been a long year for breaking records here at Southeastern Auto Auction and our anniversary month was no different,” said Bill McCready, the auction’s vice president. “For an auction to be in business this long you need to have great employees and great customers. I would like to thank the hard-working Southeastern Auto Auction team members for all they do and also our amazing dealers. Everyone is looking forward to see what our 20th anniversary year holds!”
