Upcoming Car Auctions in Adelaide SA – 30 Upcoming Sales inc Fleet Utes, Late-Model SUVs & Classic Cars

This is a broad commercial sale from an Adelaide auction house that has run regular machinery, agricultural, mining and deceased estate auctions since 1980. The mix leans practical: vehicles on one side, workshop equipment on the other, plus irrigation and plumbing lines that rarely turn up together in the one catalogue.

Standout interest sits in the workshop and plumbing stock. Air compressors, welders, pumps, pipe fittings and hand tools are the sort of gear that holds value and moves quickly when priced right. The vehicle and trailer lots round out the sale for anyone chasing a work-ready unit rather than a project.

Buyers should note the range spans several categories, so it pays to read each lot description closely. The sale closes 7 October.

No reserve means every lot sells on the day, so the final prices land wherever the bidding takes them. The featured list covers a spread of eras and body styles: early-2000s SUVs in the Jeep Cherokee Sport and Lexus RX 330 Sports, a practical 2012 VW Golf Comfortline, and a 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 516 diesel that suits trade or fleet work.

The Sprinter is the standout for anyone chasing a workhorse, given its diesel drivetrain and later build year. The RX 330 and Cherokee Sport appeal if you want a cheap second car or a project with parts availability behind it, and the Golf Comfortline is the sensible daily option in the group.

Ten lots in total, all petrol or diesel, all selling no reserve. Inspect before you bid and check the condition reports on each listing.

The headline acts here are the workhorses. The 2012 Ford Ranger XLT diesel is the pick for anyone after a dual-cab that earns its keep, while the 2009 Hyundai iLoad diesel suits a tradie or small operator wanting a van that takes a beating. Both are diesel, both are the sort of thing that holds value.

On the passenger side, the 2008 Subaru Forester X petrol and 2013 Kia Sorento Si petrol round out the featured lots. The Forester is the older AWD option for a cheap runabout, the Sorento the newer seven-seat family hauler.

It’s a reserved auction, so lots sell subject to meeting reserve. Close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing for timing before you commit.

Grays is running this 2018 Escape Trend as a standalone passenger vehicle lot, which means you’re bidding on the one car rather than a mixed pallet of stock. The Trend sits mid-range in the Escape lineup, above the base Ambiente and below the Titanium, so it typically carries a decent kit list without the top-spec price tag.

Being a 2018 build, this falls in the later part of the Escape’s run, the generation that ran through to 2019 before the nameplate was retired locally. Petrol automatic is the common configuration, and parts and servicing are straightforward given how many of these sold in Australia.

Worth a look if you’re after a practical five-seat SUV and want to sidestep retail pricing. Inspect before bidding, as with any auction vehicle, and confirm the logbooks, service history and any listed damage in the condition report.

This is a 2017 Cooper S Countryman, the bigger, more practical MINI with the punchy turbo four under the bonnet. It’s listed as a full vehicle lot through Grays, so you’re bidding on the car itself rather than a stripped shell or a trade-in with the good bits already gone.

The Countryman S sits in that sweet spot for buyers who want something with a bit of character but still need rear doors and boot space. Petrol, automatic, five doors, and enough grunt to make the daily commute less dull than a base-model crossover.

Inspect before you bid, as with any auction car. Mechanical condition, service history, and rego status are worth checking yourself.

This is a single-lot listing rather than a fleet clearance, so the focus is on one car: a 2022 Civic VTi-LX running petrol. That trim brings the turbocharged 1.5-litre four, CVT auto, leather-appointed seats, sunroof, dual-zone climate and the full Honda Sensing suite. It is the pick of the regular Civic lineup short of the Type R.

Grays runs these passenger and light commercial lots on a rolling basis, so close times shift. Inspect before bidding and check the listing for odometer, service history and any condition notes.
