ADESA is a strong partner in online used car sales for the car trade, and we are well positioned for continued growth in the coming years. We remain committed to further optimising our processes and delivering the best possible service to our customers. The fact that I can count on a well-attuned team with a long track record of dedication to our partners every day gives me the “drive” to really go for it.”
