Manheim's Tucson Auto Auction Hosts Record-Breaking RV Sale

ATLANTA - Manheim's Tucson Auto Auction broke records for the number of recreational vehicles offered and sold at its monthly RV sale held April 25. Of the 210 registered RVs offered, 163 were sold.

More than 74 percent of the units offered by dealers were sold, and more than 80 percent of the fleet lease units offered by Bank of the West, GE Capital, GE Money Bank and others were sold.

"Bank of the West expects great results at each RV sale offered at Manheim's Tucson Auto Auction," said Henry Malkin, remarketing officer with Bank of the West. "The staff makes every effort to ensure that its customers are satisfied and Joe Meagher and his team in the advanced reconditioning department help make our merchandise look as appealing as they do. These RV sales are a huge advantage for us, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with Manheim."

"To better accommodate our dealers, our team moved our monthly sale from Fridays to Wednesdays. More than 130 dealers showed their appreciation by coming out to support the new sale schedule. RV sales manager Mark Pugliese and our staff went the extra mile and their hard work paid off," said Jeanie Hinz, Tucson Auto Auction general manager.
