CARMEL, Ind. — ADESA Dallas is offering a big thank you to its dealer customers next week with a two-day dealer appreciation sale.

The event will kick off Wednesday at 2:45 p.m. (CST) with a new-car trade appreciation sale where a 2005 Cadillac will be up for grabs in a prize drawing. The drawing will take place at the conclusion of Wednesday's sale.

The pool of entrants will consist of any new-car trade dealer who went to a sale at the auction any time from July 1 through Wednesday of this week. 

To be eligible to win, there is no purchase necessary, but the winning dealer must be in attendance that day.

Then on Thursday, there will be a performance from an Elvis tribute artist starting at 9 a.m. The auction is holding an early-bird drawing at 9:15 a.m. and will give out a $1,000 gift card.

The auction is also giving away gift certificates for reconditioning service as well as Elvis CDs and DVDs. Additionally, there will be a giveaway for a car sponsored by Automotive Finance Corp. at the conclusion of the event.

"We've got a great lineup of vehicles for this two-day sale, and dealers are sure to have a lot of fun at this event," stated Ken Osborn, general manager at ADESA Dallas.

"It's hard to believe that it's already been a year at our new location," he added. "We're excited to be celebrating dealer appreciation days and to find out who wins the Cadillac."
