Default English native speaker help

I would be very grateful with some help from an English native speaker. I need to register an ascii domain for another of my ideas and could use some opinions about:

Does “CarsAuctions.com” sound very awkward?

I know CarAuctions.com is the ideal one, but doesn’t it really mean “Auctions” of “cars”, and so is the plural in “cars” really that bad? I am auctioning several cars, but the “car” in fact typifies about what the auctions are about, right?

Is it because it means “car’s auctions” = “the auctions of the car” (one car)?

What if I was to auction only yellow cars? Doesn’t “YellowCarAuctions” seems like I am auctioning only one Yellow Car or does it seems I have an auction house named Yellow Car? Does “YellowCarsAuctions” make a little more sense in this case or is “YellowCarAuctions” still the best one?

Finally, if you could, you would still prefer YellowCarAuction or the plural?! (for a site with car auctions)

Thanks a lot for any reply.
