FAQ
Which auction houses sell cars in Sydney?
Pickles Auctions in Belmore and Manheim in Moorebank are the two highest-volume vehicle auctioneers in Sydney, running weekly sales. Lloyds, Grays, and Slattery also regularly list NSW vehicles online. Classic and collector car specialists like Burns & Co. run periodic Sydney events.
Do Sydney vehicle auctions require ID and a deposit to bid?
Most major platforms require a pre-authorised credit card hold or refundable deposit before your bidding account is activated. National ID is also required by major auctioneers.It’s recommended to register well in advance so that everything is processed before auction day.
Can I inspect vehicles before bidding?
In most cases. Pickles no longer offers inspections. In such a case, condition reports and PPSR checks substitute for physical inspection, so bid accordingly. Always check for finance encumbrances before bidding.
What is the buyer’s premium at Sydney car auctions?
Typically 10–18% plus GST depending on the auctioneer and sale type, there may be additional fees depedning on the vehicle type eg EV’s at Pickles incur an extra $100 fee. Check the individual listing for specifics. Always add the premium to your maximum bid to calculate your true total cost.
Trends & Insights
The national used vehicle market softened 0.5% in the week to June 22, but the NSW auction floor tells a more nuanced story. Clearance rates climbed 4.7% and sales volumes surged 31.5%, driven by strong demand for top traded models (Datium Insights, Jun 22). The Toyota Landcruiser posted a 10.67% gain and the Mitsubishi Outlander rose 7.00%, while ex corporate vehicles dropped 4.9%, signalling a two speed market where fleet surplus is being absorbed at a discount but premium used stock holds firm.
Manheim is running multiple weekly Sydney Clearing and Government Fleet auctions in Moorebank, with each event offering 80 to 130 plus lots of passenger, fleet, corporate and prestige vehicles closing late June (Manheim Australia, Jun 26). Pickles launched its National Luxury Car Auction on June 23 and opened NSW/ACT salvage sales on June 26, targeting buyers chasing high performance and prestige stock alongside damaged repairable units (Pickles Auctions, Jun 23). The recent BYD appointment of Pickles as exclusive Australian auction partner for fleet remarketing is already expanding NSW supply, with the first company vehicles offered from June 9 in the National Government, Fleet & Lease online auction (WhichCar, Jun 9).
On the collector side, Burns & Co’s June Muscle, Classics & Motoring Auction closed a three night event on June 24 with strong results. A 1972 Ford XA GT Falcon Coupe hammered for $111,933 including buyer’s premium, underscoring sustained appetite for blue chip Australian muscle in NSW and national bidding pools (Burns & Co Auctions, Jun 24).
Watch for further ex corporate volume hitting Manheim and Pickles sales next week as clearance rate momentum tests whether the market can absorb additional supply without further price erosion.

Rod’s Tips
Run a PPSR check before bidding on any vehicle. For $2, the Personal Property Securities Register reveals outstanding finance, theft records, and write-off history. A vital step before any used vehicle purchase at auction.
Manheim Moorebank and Pickles Belmore run weekly government fleet sales. These are often the best-value vehicles at auction as they are regularly serviced, well-documented, and usually sold without reserve.
Inspect in person where possible. Condition reports are useful but don’t replace a walk-around. Most auctioneers offer inspection days and you should use them, especially for higher-value lots.
Keep transport costs in mindAt major auctioneers, unless the vehicle has registration, you may not be able to drive the vehicle away. Clarify this in advance and budget accordingly.
Manhiem or Pickles? Which is Better? Over the years, I have bought vehicles from both, personally I think they are both very professional and that the most important thing is to understand the nature of buying at auction and to do your own research and inspection on any vehicle you wish to buy. Like any auction house, there is little chance for negotiation after the sale, but there is always an opportunity beforehand…

Unclaimed Post | Collector Cards, Sports Memorabilia & Pop Culture
More detail
This auction pulls from unclaimed post goods, so expect sealed or mint-condition stock that never reached its buyer. The Heroes of Might and Magic III board game and expansions are still in shrink wrap, a rare find for strategy fans. The Dragon Ball Z Grandista Son Goku from Bandai Presto and the Monster High Kotobukiya Draculaura figurine will appeal to anime collectors.
Tabletop gamers get a look-in too: Wyrm Span Dragon Academy, Flip Town and Flip Voyage are all new in box, and there is a sealed copy of the card game Lackadaisy. The lot also includes two tubes of Chronicle miniature paint brushes, Battle Grid game mats, and a set of Crystal Maggie dice. The Weto Lord of the Rings figure has box damage but the figure itself is sealed in foam, so condition is worth a close look before bidding closes on 4 July 2026.
Pickles
Pickles NSW runs weekly vehicle auctions from Belmore (Sydney), plus branches in Newcastle, Tamworth, Dubbo, and Wagga Wagga. Covers passenger cars, fleet disposals, 4WDs, utes, and ex-government stock.

BC Bulk Fleet Realignment Sale
More detail
This is a straight fleet reduction from BC Bulk, so expect well-maintained gear with service history. The two Kenworth T610SARs are the headline acts, one a 2024 and the other a 2019, both popular units for linehaul work. The 2021 BTE and the 2024 BTE Tri Semi are purpose-built trailers, likely matched to the prime movers.
The 2021 FWR is another heavy hauler worth a look, and the JCB 527-58 telehandler adds versatility for anyone needing loading gear. With only six lots, this is a tight, focused sale. Bid on the day, 9 July 2026, at Tamworth. No online-only nonsense here, so be ready to inspect in person.

2010 Kawasaki ER-6NL Petrol
More detail
This is an individual motorcycle lot, not a bulk clearance, so it’s worth a close look if you’re after a reliable mid-capacity bike. The ER-6NL is the naked version of the Ninja 650, offering upright ergonomics and enough punch for highway work without the full fairing weight.
Check the listing for the odometer reading and overall condition. With Grays running this as a rolling auction, the close date is flexible, so you’ll need to monitor the timer yourself. No reserve price is stated, which means it could go cheap if bidding stays quiet. Factor in the buyer’s premium and any pickup costs from Milperra before you commit.

2014 Porsche Macan S 95B Automatic Wagon
More detail
This is a single-vehicle listing from Grays Online, part of their rolling stock of passenger cars, SUVs, utes, and vans. The Macan S is finished in white and has covered 139,873 km. It runs on 19-inch Macan wheels and includes a reversing camera, sat-nav, Bluetooth, and dual-zone climate control.
The condition report notes the interior is generally good, with some wear to the driver’s seat bolster and the steering wheel. Externally, there are a few minor dings and stone chips, plus a small crack in the front bumper. A service record is included. The car is located at Grays’ Arndell Park facility for inspection by appointment. Buyers should factor in the standard buyer’s premium and GST.

2011 Hyundai i20 Active PB Automatic Hatch
More detail
This is an individual passenger car lot from Grays Online’s rolling vehicle auctions. The i20 is a five-door hatch in the Active trim, which adds alloy wheels, roof rails, and a rear spoiler over the base model. The automatic transmission makes it easy for city driving or a first car.
The lot includes the standard 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. Check the photos for overall condition and any cosmetic wear. As a 2011 model, it will have done some years, but the Active spec holds its value better than the base. No reserve price is listed, so the final bid decides the sale. Viewing is available at the Yennora depot before the auction closes.

2019 Volkswagen Tiguan 132TSI R-Line Edition 5N Auto 4MOTION MY19.5
More detail
This Tiguan is the R-Line Edition, which means it rolls on bigger alloys, sports a body kit, and gets the sportier interior trim over the standard model. The 132TSI engine offers solid punch for daily driving, and the 4MOTION system gives you extra grip on wet roads or light dirt tracks. It’s an individual car lot, not part of a fleet dump, so condition and service history are worth checking directly with the auctioneer.
Grays Online runs this as a rolling auction, meaning the close date is yet to be confirmed, so you’ll need to watch the listing for the final countdown. The vehicle is located in Lane Cove West, and given it’s a 2019 model, it should still have plenty of life left. If you’re in the market for a well-specced mid-size SUV without the new-car price, this one’s worth a proper look.
