Manheim is a big wheeler dealer from way back that trades cars like stocks. With about 145 locations worldwide, the firm is the nation's largest wholesale auction company. It remarkets vehicles for wholesale consignors, including car dealers and makers, rental-car and fleet companies, and financial institutions. (Typically, licensed franchise and independent car dealers buy Manheim's vehicles.) The company offers auction-related services, as well, such as reconditioning, wholesale inspections and certifications, and used car valuation. The company, formerly Manheim Auctions, was founded by four colleagues in 1945. It became a subsidiary of Cox Enterprises in 1960 and moved its headquarters to Atlanta then.
