Adelaide Car Auctions this week featuring Fleet SUVs and Government Vehicles (23 Upcoming Sales)

Pickles is running this SA Government Vehicle Auction with a strong lineup of low-kilometre cars, SUVs, and utes. Most are 2022 or 2023 models, so you are looking at modern safety gear and infotainment. The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander LS and the 2021 Outlander PHEV cover both petrol and plug-in hybrid options, while the 2023 Subaru Forester Hybrid L appears twice, suggesting a bulk buy by the government.

For families, the 2022 Kia Sorento Sport and the Carnival S offer seven seats. Tradies should eye the two 2023 Toyota Hilux SRs and the 2022 Mitsubishi Triton GLX. The single 2022 Subaru Outback AWD and the 2023 Toyota Camry Ascent Sport round out a well-maintained lot. These are ex-government vehicles, so expect full service history and minor cosmetic wear. The auction closes on June 10, so inspect beforehand at Salisbury Plain.

Pickles is clearing out Riverland Transport’s entire fleet in Adelaide, with 12 lots of heavy haulage gear up for grabs. The prime movers lean heavily on Kenworth: a 2007 K104B, a 2004 K104, and two 2006 K104s. For trailers, it’s mostly Muscat MT2103 tippers from 2013, plus a pair of 2013 Maxitrans units and two 2023 Freightmaster ST3s.

Buyers should note the mix of older and late-model gear. The 2023 Freightmaster ST3 trailers are the freshest items, likely in better nick for someone wanting to avoid a rebuild. The Kenworth K104s are proven workhorses, but check service history closely on the 2004 and 2006 models. All items are located at the Pennington depot, so inspection is straightforward before the June 15 close. If you need a tipper or a highway hauler, this is a one-stop shot.

This is a private-seller listing, not a fleet dump, so the condition and service history are worth a look. The Outback 2.5i Premium comes with Subaru’s Eyesight driver assist suite, dual-zone climate control, and a powered tailgate. At this age, it’s still a strong contender for a family wagon that can handle dirt roads without breaking a sweat.

Grays is running it as a rolling auction, meaning the reserve drops over time until it sells. If you’re patient, you might snag it below market price. Check for logbook stamps and any paint chips on the bonnet, common on these. No close date is set yet, so keep an eye on the countdown.

This Calais VY is an individual lot in Grays Online’s ongoing passenger and light commercial vehicle sale. It’s a straightforward buy for anyone chasing a well-known Aussie sedan without the fixed-price mark-up. The VY Calais was a popular model in its day, and as a rolling auction you can bid on your own terms until the listing closes.

Check the condition report carefully, as Grays often sells these as-is with no warranty. The location is Pooraka, so factor in inspection or transport costs if you’re not local. Keep an eye on the close date, which is yet to be confirmed, and be ready to jump in when the bidding gets tight.

This is an individual vehicle listing from Grays Online’s ongoing rolling auction, which regularly cycles through passenger cars, SUVs, utes, and vans. The standout here is the 2017 Forester with the 2.0-litre turbo diesel, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. That combination is less common than the automatic, and the diesel engine delivers strong torque for towing or highway cruising.

The Forester D-L trim includes Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, making it a practical choice for buyers who need traction on gravel roads or in wet conditions. It also comes with a five-star safety rating and decent cargo space. As a rolling auction, the price resets regularly, so you can pick it up if the current bid is below your limit. Check the listing for the current close time and vehicle condition report.

This is a straightforward buy for anyone needing a reliable, late-model sedan without the dealer markup. The 2016 Pulsar ST comes with a continuously variable transmission, making it a smooth city commuter. It’s listed as an individual lot, so you’re bidding on exactly this car, not a mixed batch.

Grays Online runs these rolling auctions continuously, so the close date is flexible. Keep an eye on the listing for the countdown. The car is located in Pooraka, SA, meaning you’ll need to inspect and collect from there. No word on kilometres or service history in the notes, so factor in a pre-purchase inspection if you’re serious. For a budget-conscious buyer, this is a solid chance to snag a modern hatchback at wholesale rates.

This is an individual vehicle listing from Grays Online’s ongoing passenger and light commercial auction. The 2011 Audi Q5 being offered is the 2.0-litre turbo petrol version, paired with quattro all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic. It’s a well-known model for blending Audi’s interior refinement with genuine off-road capability for a soft-roader.

What makes this one worth a look is the rolling auction format. There’s no fixed close date, so you can bid at your own pace, but the price will climb as the deadline nears. The Q5 is a popular second-hand buy, and the 2.0 TFSI engine is a strong performer if it’s been serviced properly. Check the service history and condition report before bidding, and factor in a pre-purchase inspection. This auction also includes other SUVs, utes, and vans under the same listing, so it’s worth scrolling through the lot list to see what else is available.

This is a single-vehicle listing from Grays Online’s rolling auction, but it’s a solid buy for anyone needing a family hauler that can handle dirt tracks. The Pathfinder ST-L is the mid-spec trim, meaning you get cloth seats, air-conditioning, and a decent stereo without the luxury price tag. The R51 generation is known for its rugged ladder-frame chassis and VQ40DE 4.0-litre V6 engine, which is reliable if serviced properly.

Check the service history carefully, as timing chain guides can be an issue on high-km examples. The 7-seat layout is handy for school runs or camping trips, and the 4×4 system includes low-range gearing for beach or bush work. Being a rolling auction, there’s no fixed close date, so keep an eye on the timer and bid when the price feels right. If the bodywork is straight and the drivetrain is quiet, this Pathfinder could be a cheap ticket to weekend adventures.

This Pooraka-based listing is part of Grays Online’s ongoing passenger vehicle and light commercial stock. The Suzuki Sierra is a manual ute, a lightweight workhorse from the early 90s that’s become a cult favourite with campers and collectors.

It’s a no-frills vehicle: leaf springs, part-time four-wheel drive, and a 1.3-litre petrol four. The body is a simple two-door cab with a tray. Because it’s a rolling auction, the close date isn’t fixed, so keep an eye on the timer. If the body is straight and the rust is minimal, this could be a bargain runabout or a solid base for a restoration project. Check the service history and the condition of the transfer case before you bid.

This Trailblazer LT is the RG series, meaning it got the sharper styling and updated cabin before Holden shut up shop. The 2.8-litre Duramax turbo diesel is a proven workhorse, and with seven seats you can haul the whole crew plus gear. Being a Grays Online rolling auction, the reserve can shift, so keep an eye on the bid history rather than jumping in blind.

Check the service records and look for any signs of hard off-road use, especially around the rear diff and suspension. The LT trim includes a colour touchscreen, rear camera, and roof rails, but no leather or sat-nav. If you need a capable diesel wagon without the Toyota tax, this one is worth a bid.

This Tucson Active X is the front-wheel-drive variant from the TL series, a popular choice for families and commuters alike. It comes with factory alloys, roof rails, and cruise control, plus the usual Hyundai five-year warranty coverage if it’s still in date. The lot is listed as a single vehicle, so you’re bidding on one car, not a fleet.

Check the service history and body condition carefully, as rolling auctions often have no returns. The TL platform is reliable, but look for any signs of wear on the suspension or transmission given its age. If the kms are reasonable, this could be a solid daily driver for the right price.
