Short version: not as a regular buyer. Here is what each auction actually requires, what a Missouri dealer license takes, and where the public can bid on cars around St. Louis instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote rs-answer-box is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The short answer:<\/strong> No. Manheim St. Louis in Bridgeton says it is a dealer only auction and is not open to the public. ADESA St. Louis in Barnhart requires you to register as a dealer with an AuctionACCESS number. Neither is on its company\u2019s list of public sales. Without a dealer license, use a public online auction instead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Updated October 23, 2026.

Before you go that route, get every fee in writing, ask whose name goes on the title, and ask how you get the car home. You still cannot attend the lanes yourself at a dealer only auction, so you are usually buying from photos and a condition report anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-public-options\">Where can the public buy auction cars in St. Louis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have a few real options without a license:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Online public auctions:<\/strong> sites like Remarket Space that let anyone with an ID bid and deliver the car.
