Rod’s Tips

Government fleet sales through Pickles and Manheim Adelaide are a strong source of value. SA Government fleet disposals are regularly serviced and often sold without reserve.

PPSR check every vehicle before bidding. The $2 check reveals outstanding finance and write-off history making it non-negotiable for any used vehicle purchase.

Adelaide’s buyer pool is smaller than Sydney or Melbourne. Prepared bidders can find genuine value, particularly on prestige and collector vehicles that attract less competition locally.

Pickles

Pickles SA runs regular vehicle auctions from their Adelaide facility, covering passenger cars, fleet disposals, 4WDs, utes, and ex-government stock.

  • Avenue Auto Repair Closure

    Avenue Auto Repair Closure

    Thu 9 Jul 2026 • Kilkenny SA • mgs

    Vehicles and workshop gear from a closed Adelaide auto repair shop are heading to auction. The list includes a 2015 Holden Colorado ute, a 2005 Isuzu NPR truck with a tray and crane, plus a 2014 Ford Transit van.

    More detail

    MGS, the Kilkenny SA auction house that has been running commercial and machinery sales since 1980, is clearing out Avenue Auto Repair. The vehicle lineup is practical for a tradie or small fleet operator: the Colorado is a common site on Australian work sites, the Isuzu NPR adds heavy lifting capacity with its integrated crane, and the Transit offers enclosed cargo space.

    Beyond the rolling stock, expect workshop consumables and tools that come with a closed business. The auction is timed for July 2026, so buyers have room to inspect before bidding. If you need a solid work ute or a light truck, this is a straight-up disposal from a repair shop that has shut its doors.

  • 2023 Honda CL500 Road Motorcycle (WOVR – REPAIRABLE)

    2023 Honda CL500 Road Motorcycle (WOVR – REPAIRABLE)

    Date TBC • Pooraka, SA • Grays Online

    A repairable write-off 2023 Honda CL500 road motorcycle is up in a Grays Online auction from Pooraka, SA. This is a low-km modern scrambler with a 471cc parallel-twin engine, likely needing cosmetic and mechanical work to get back on the road.

    More detail

    This is a single-lot listing for a bike that’s been written off as a statutory wreck (WOVR) in South Australia. The 2023 model year means it’s still current, and the CL500 is Honda’s retro-styled scrambler based on the CB500 platform. If you’re handy with a spanner or have a repairer’s licence, this could be a cheap entry into a popular modern classic.

    The auction is a rolling finish, so the close date is listed as TBC. Check the photos closely for damage and factor in the cost of a roadworthy inspection, registration, and any parts needed. Given the age and model, parts availability should be solid through Honda dealers.

  • 2016 Nissan Pulsar ST B17 CVT Sedan

    2016 Nissan Pulsar ST B17 CVT Sedan

    Date TBC • Pooraka, SA • Grays Online

    A 2016 Nissan Pulsar ST B17 with CVT transmission is up for bidding through Grays Online in Pooraka, SA. This sedan is one of the passenger vehicles, SUVs, utes, and vans listed in their rolling auction.

    More detail

    This Pulsar is a solid entry-level sedan for anyone after reliable daily transport without the new-car price tag. The B17 generation is known for its comfortable ride and sensible fuel economy, and the CVT automatic makes it easy for city commuting.

    As part of Grays Online’s ongoing vehicle sale, the lot sits alongside a broader mix of late-model cars and light commercials. Buyers should check the condition report and service history before bidding, as these are sold as-is. The auction has no fixed close date yet, so watch the timer closely for a fair shot.

  • 2007 Nissan Pathfinder ST-L (4x4) R51 Automatic 7 Seats Wagon

    2007 Nissan Pathfinder ST-L (4×4) R51 Automatic 7 Seats Wagon

    Date TBC • Pooraka, SA • Grays Online

    A 2007 Nissan Pathfinder ST-L 4×4 wagon is up for sale through Grays Online, based in Pooraka, SA. This R51 model offers a 7-seat layout and automatic transmission, a solid option for a family hauler with off-road capability.

    More detail

    This Pathfinder sits in the ST-L trim, meaning it comes with alloy wheels, roof rails, and a factory tow bar. The 4×4 system and 2.5-litre diesel engine make it a genuine contender for weekend trips or daily duties. Grays is running this as part of their ongoing vehicle listings, so it pays to check the current bid level.

    Buyers should factor in the age and typical wear on a 2007 model. Look for service history and check the timing chain, a known issue on these engines. The seven seats add versatility, but the third row is best for kids. If you need a budget-friendly SUV that can handle dirt roads and school runs, this Nissan is worth a close look.

  • 2012 Holden Captiva 5 2WD CG II Automatic Wagon

    2012 Holden Captiva 5 2WD CG II Automatic Wagon

    Date TBC • Pooraka, SA • Grays Online

    A 2012 Holden Captiva 5 2WD CG II Automatic Wagon is up in a Grays Online rolling auction from Pooraka, SA. This one is a solid family SUV with the 2.4-litre petrol engine and automatic transmission, practical for daily driving or a budget runabout.

    More detail

    This listing is part of Grays’ ongoing passenger vehicle and light commercial sale, which also includes SUVs, utes, and vans. The Captiva is a single lot, so you are bidding on this car alone. It comes from the CG II series, which means it has the updated front-end styling and interior tweaks from the 2010 facelift.

    Check the photos and condition report carefully. These models are known for being affordable to buy but watch for high kilometres and service history. The rolling auction format means the price climbs slowly, so you can bid at your own pace until the lot closes. No reserve price is stated, so it could go cheap if interest is low.

  • 2015 BMW 2 Series 218i Sport Line Petrol

    2015 BMW 2 Series 218i Sport Line Petrol

    Date TBC • Pooraka, SA • Grays Online

    A 2015 BMW 2 Series 218i Sport Line Petrol is up for sale with Grays Online in Pooraka, SA. It’s a single motorcycle lot, so no messing around with multi-lot bundles.

    More detail

    This is a straight individual listing from the Grays Online rolling auction format. The 2015 218i Sport Line Petrol is a tidy entry-level coupe from BMW, offering the sharp styling and rear-drive dynamics the brand is known for. The Sport Line trim adds some visual aggression with unique bumpers and side skirts, plus a sportier interior treatment.

    If you’re after a relatively modern German coupe without the full M-tax, this is worth a look. The 1.5-litre turbo three-cylinder is no fire breather, but it’s frugal and smooth for daily duties. As a single lot, the bidding stays simple. Check the listing for condition details and service history before you commit.
