As you can see, there are different ways of saying \"garage sale\" depending on where you are. One of the ways in Mexico is \"venta de garaje\", except on the border where they say \"venta de cochera\", in which this word \"cochera\" sometimes means \"garage\" for Mexicans, and often means a shed or depot for trains, or depot or garage in other parts.
In the Rio de la Plata area (Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, they use \"feria americana\" according to Oxford, which literally is an \"American market\" (\"feria\" being a \"market\" in the Southern Cone - the countries already mentioned.
In Colombia, \"ventuta\" is the specific word for \"garage sale\".
