The Retail Automotive Alliance (RAA) has signed a new deal with Manheim for the remarketing of more than 25,000 vehicles per year.

The RAA comprises 23 independent dealer groups, many of which are in the AM Top 100.

Part-exchange vehicles from the group’s 200 dealerships will be offered at Manheim auctions in Manchester and Mansfield in the north, Birmingham in the midlands, and Bristol, Colchester, Saltash and Wimbledon in the south.

Light vans and trucks are also included and the RAA expects to remarket around 1,500 of these at Manheim's commercial vehicle auctions at Colchester, Gloucester, Haydock, Leeds and Mansfield.

Oliver Greening, business development director for the RAA, commented: “RAA members have worked closely with Manheim auction centres since 2006 and are delighted to continue this partnership.”

Michael Buxton, chief operating officer at Manheim, added: “The extension of our successful relationship with the RAA is great news and continues to highlight our world class customer service.”
