How to Buy


For the safety of our staff and our customers, and in accordance to the rules and regulations of BC health, we've made a number of changes to our buying process:

All bidding will be done online via ADESA Simulcast.
Viewing requirements - All public buyers must view the vehicles before being registered for bidding (by appointment only).
Safety requirements - All public buyers must wear face coverings and gloves at all times while at ADESA. You are not permitted on-site if you have been outside Canada in the last 14 days or are showing any Covid19 symptoms.
Deposit requirement - All public buyers are required to pay a $1000 deposit with VISA/Mastercard before receiving buyer login/password. Deposit is refundable on Monday if no vehicle is purchased.
