Because the car is a fixed asset, the depreciation of the vehicle must be recorded up to the date of sale. The proceeds should be recorded as credit if profit was earned or debit if there was a financial loss.

Do I get money for car being auctioned off?

Yes, if you own the car being auctioned, you get the proceeds of the sale, minus the auctioneer's commssion. No, if your car was repossessed and auctioned by the lender, it would be rare that the proceeds, minus the auctioneer's commission would exceed the amount you owed on the loan. However, if it did, you would get the remainder. On the other hand, if the auction doesn't cover your loan, then you could still be sued for the remaining payments.

How to sell your financed car?

If your car isn't paid off at the time you wish to sell it, things are a little more complex. You need to close the loan with your lender by paying off the balance with the proceeds of the sale so that you can present a clear title to the buyer. If however, you have to sell the car for less than you owe on it, you will need to pay the balance of the loan out of your own pocket to the lender.
