Auction officials are calling ABC Baton Rouge’s Grand Opening Sale a “major success.”

At the July 18 sale, there was a conversion rate of 88 percent  for fleet and lease, with a dealer consignment sale conversion rate of 63 percent.

Jason Hockett, president at Auction Broadcasting Co. president,  “The Grand Opening sale at ABC Baton Rouge was a huge success.  We were really pleased with the dealer turn out as well as the turnout and support of our commercial accounts.”  

As well as a good buyer turnout, the sale brought out representatives from ARI, Capital One Automotive, Lease Plan, PHH and Santander Consumer. Hockett also noted that, “a host of regional financial institutions were on hand for the sale.”

Even Baton Rouge Mayor Kip Holden was on hand for the ribbon cutting ceremony of the 30-acre auction facility.

The auction will also be holding another special sale later this month.
