We’re Vin Live Auctions! Operating in-house at Golden Motors in Columbia, SC– we’ve been providing auction services since 2018!

The newest way to sell your vehicle and maybe get more than the dealers are offering. VIN Live Auction is a unique and FUN way to sell your vehicle and we don’t stop there. ANYTHING with a vin can be run on this auction (Cars, Trucks, SUVs, ATVs, Boats, Motorcycles, Motorhomes, Campers, tractors and trailers)! As long as it has a vin we can post it to the auction and you get to watch it LIVE, run on a national platform that is growing every week to more and more dealers across the country.  

Golden Motors created VIN Live Auctions to change the way customers experience working with dealerships and selling their vehicle in a positive and fun way.
