NorCal Auto Fair Turns Salvage Cars Into a Weekend Marketplace
A Sacramento fair where buyers inspect salvage, rebuilt-title, non-op, and project vehicles in person and negotiate directly with sellers.
Field notes
Sellers submit a vehicle with a one-time $139 fee, VIN verification, five photos, price, specifications, and the full VIN, then may register it for additional fair weekends without another registration fee. Buyers are directed to run their own history reports, inspect cars at Cal Expo, bring a mechanic, and transact directly with the seller. The site explicitly identifies itself as a display marketplace rather than a dealer or broker.
