I have been twice. There are other car auctions at the same time as Barrett Jackson. Can't think of their names, but what I found interesting about them was that they had more affordable cars. 40's, 50's, 60's Chevys, Fords, etc., if you happen to like that kind of stuff. Nice aircraft museum in Mesa, which isn't too far away. Hope this info helps. You could check with the Phoenix or Scottsdale Tourist Bureau. They probably know the names and locations of the other car auctions.
