FRANKLIN, Tenn. -

To celebrate nearly two decades of partnership between the auction and dealers, Auto Auction of New England will host the Buck Dynasty event on June 5.    

Featuring plenty of fleet/lease and consignment vehicles, Buck Dynasty will also include AANE’s annual Specialty Car Sale featuring classic, antique and unique vehicles.

"We are looking forward to giving back to the partners who have supported and encouraged us for the last 19 years," said Steven DeLuca, general manager at AANE.

"The auction is always such a busy place, and we don't always have the chance to shake the dealers’ hands and show our appreciation for their decision to do business here year after year,” he said. “This event gives us that opportunity." 

The event theme will carry throughout the day with food, games and “bucks” giveaways.  

"If history tells us anything, we can be sure that the consignment and attendance at our annual Dealer Appreciation sale will be stellar," said Michele Pierog, director of sales and marketing.

"Our customers' enthusiasm for this event shows us that our dealers enjoy being appreciated. That's not a surprise. Everyone wants to be valued, and this event is all about making sure each and every dealer feels like they are the reason we are here," she said. 

DeLuca added, "The best part of watching the auction grow over the past 19 years is witnessing the partnerships that have developed and being part of the growth of our partners’ success.

"The auction is a service industry. Our goal is to help our partners liquidate and acquire inventory in the most effective and profitable manner possible,” he said. “Their success is our success; there is just no other way to look at this business."
