FAQ
Which auction houses sell cars in Brisbane?
Pickles and Manheim are the highest-volume vehicle auctioneers in QLD, with Brisbane facilities running weekly sales. Grays and Lloyds list Queensland vehicles online continuously. Slattery handles commercial and prestige vehicle events from Brisbane.
Are 4WDs and utes common at Brisbane vehicle auctions?
Yes. Queensland’s fleet disposals and ex-government sales regularly feature 4WDs, dual-cabs, and utes. Government and mining fleet vehicles are a Brisbane auction staple.
Can interstate buyers participate?
Most major platforms offer full online bidding. Factor in Brisbane-to-your-state transport costs which may run from typically $300–$600 for a car, more for larger vehicles.
Trends & Insights
National used car values softened again in the week to 28 September, with the Datium Insights weekly index down 1.7% overall. Repossessed stock took the hardest hit at -8.6%, a signal that distressed supply is clearing at a discount, while top traded models split: Kia Sorento gained 4.31% and Toyota Corolla added 3.68%. Clearance rates rose 4.7% and sales volume jumped 31.5%, so the softer pricing is moving metal rather than stalling it (Datium Insights, Sep 28).
Queensland auction floors are busy on the back of that volume. Auction Finder lists 34 vehicle auctions across Brisbane and wider QLD this week, spanning fleet and 4WD stock, with Grays Pinkenba running a 34-lot motor vehicle sale closing 30 September. The lineup leans practical: a 2012 Jeep Wrangler, a 2020 Ford Ranger Wildtrak and ex-fleet units from Pickles, Manheim and others (Auction Finder, Sep 27). Manheim Eagle Farm continues its weekly simulcast auctions of QFleet government, corporate and rental vehicles, typically 50-100+ lots across multiple lanes, with hybrids such as the 2021 Toyota Corolla and 2022 Toyota RAV4 in the mix (Manheim, Oct 2).
The collector end is telling a different story. Seven82Motors’ September classic auction on the Gold Coast and Donington’s online sales both reported clearance around 90%, with high-value lots including Ferrari models performing well (Auction Finder, Sep 27). That resilience sits against a broader wholesale cooldown: the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index slipped 1% to 206.2 in early September, down 0.4% year on year, as increased supply and softer dealer demand weigh on values (Cox Automotive / related reports, Sep 21).
Watch clearance rates on ex-fleet 4WDs and hybrids at Eagle Farm and Pinkenba this week, since that is where the supply-demand gap will show up first.

Rod’s Tips
Queensland government fleet sales are a strong source of well-maintained 4WDs and utes. QLD Government and fleet disposals through Pickles and Manheim are regularly serviced and documented.
PPSR check every vehicle. Queensland’s used car market includes many ex-mining and farm vehicles which are common to have encumbrances. PPSR check is only $2.
Register early for online sales. Manheim and Pickles both require pre-registration and a deposit hold before the auction opens.

Pinkenba Grays Motor Vehicle Auction – R
More detail
The headline act is the 2012 Mazda BT-50 diesel, listed as WOVR-inspected, so the write-off history has already been assessed and the paperwork side is clearer than usual for a repairable ute. The 2016 BMW X5 xDrive25d brings diesel all-wheel drive to the mix, while the 2014 Volvo S60 T5 Luxury and 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer ES cover the sedan side, one a turbo petrol luxury spec, the other a cheap-to-run daily.
With 32 lots total, the four featured vehicles are only part of the catalogue, so it pays to read the full list before bidding. Close date is still TBC, so check the Grays listing for timing before you commit.
-

Grays – Pinkenba – Classic Motor Vehicle Auction
More detail
Both lots sit squarely in modern-classic territory. The MR2 is an import and a Turbo, dressed up as a TRD GT2000 tribute, so expect mid-engine Toyota fans to take notice. The VU II Commodore S ute keeps the manual, which is the spec that matters to anyone who actually wants to drive one rather than park it.
With only two lots on the listing, this is a tight sale rather than a sprawling catalogue. That usually means less competition per lot and a clearer read on what each car is worth on the day.
Worth checking the condition reports and import paperwork on the MR2 before bidding, and confirming the ute’s service history and logbooks. Both are the kind of cars where the details decide the price.
-

Pinkenba Grays Motor Vehicle Auction – NR
More detail
The Mercedes is the obvious drawcard here. A 2007 CLK350 Elegance with only 28,008km is unusually low for a car of that age, and the V6 petrol coupe has the sort of spec that ages well. Worth a close look at the service history and any signs of sitting idle.
The 2017 Mondeo Titanium diesel is the practical pick of the bunch, a well-equipped mid-sizer with the torquey oiler that suits highway runs. The 2013 Fiesta LX is cheap small-car transport, and the 2017 Wrangler Unlimited Sport diesel appeals if you want a four-door 4×4 with proper off-road gear.
Six lots total, closing date still to be confirmed. Check each listing for condition reports and inspection details before bidding.
-

2012 Kawasaki Mule
More detail
The Mule is a utility side-by-side, the kind of gear that earns its keep on a property or around a worksite. Kawasaki built these for hauling, towing and getting across ground a ute won’t touch, and a 2012 model still has plenty of life in it if it’s been looked after.
It’s listed as an individual lot in a Grays Online rolling auction covering passenger vehicles, SUVs, utes and vans, so you’re bidding on this unit alone rather than a whole fleet. Inspect before you bid and check the condition report, especially hours, tyres and any signs of hard work.
Close date is still to be confirmed, so keep tabs on the listing for timing.
-

2002 BMW 318i E46 Petrol
More detail
This is a single-lot listing rather than a bulk clearance, so you are bidding on one specific vehicle: a 2002 BMW 318i from the E46 generation. That model is widely regarded as one of the better-built 3 Series of the modern era, with rear-wheel drive, balanced handling, and a strong parts and DIY community behind it.
The 318i sits at the entry point of the E46 range with a four-cylinder petrol engine, which means cheaper running costs than the six-cylinder variants while still delivering the chassis that made the E46 popular. Grays lists it as part of its passenger vehicle and light commercial stream, which typically covers sedans, SUVs, utes, and vans.
Inspect before bidding and confirm the condition report, service history, and any listed faults, since auction vehicles are sold as-is. Close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing for updates.
-

2005 SUBARU LIBERTY Petrol
More detail
This one’s a straight passenger car lot: a 2005 Subaru Liberty running petrol, listed individually rather than bundled with other stock. Grays is running it as part of a broader rolling auction covering passenger vehicles, SUVs, utes and vans, which means the catalogue around it is worth a look if you’re chasing something else while you’re there.
The Liberty nameplate has a solid following in Australia, and at 2005 vintage it sits in that sweet spot where depreciation has done its work. Close date is still TBC, so check the listing for timing before you plan anything.
-

2005 SUBARU OUTBACK Petrol
More detail
This is a single passenger vehicle lot, so you’re bidding on one car, not a fleet. The Outback nameplate has a loyal following in Australia, and for good reason. It sits somewhere between a wagon and an SUV, with enough ground clearance to handle a gravel track and enough boot space to swallow a weekend’s gear.
The listing comes through Grays’ rolling auction format, which means vehicles, SUVs, utes, and vans cycle through regularly. That’s worth knowing if you’re hunting for a specific model, because stock turns over and new lots appear often.
Inspect before you bid, as with any used car. Service history, timing belt condition, and head gasket health are the usual things to check on a petrol Outback of this era.
-

2005 AUDI A6 Petrol
More detail
This is a straightforward single-vehicle lot: one 2005 Audi A6 running petrol, listed under Grays’ passenger vehicle category. No fleet bundle, no parts pile, just the one car.
The A6 of this era is a proper executive sedan, and buying one at auction is the cheapest way into that class of car. Parts and servicing are widely available, and the C6 generation has a solid following among DIY owners.
Worth checking the listing for condition notes, odometer, and service history before you bid. Close date is still to be confirmed, so keep tabs on the Grays page if you’re interested.
-

2006 KIA CARNIVAL Petrol
More detail
This is a standalone lot: one 2006 Kia Carnival running petrol, listed as part of a wider Grays Online sale out of Pinkenba. The surrounding catalogue spans passenger vehicles, SUVs, utes and vans, which means you can scope comparable stock in the same sale before committing.
The Carnival itself is the practical pick of the bunch for anyone needing seven seats on a tight budget. Petrol running costs are what they are, but the buy-in on an older people mover is usually low, and parts are common.
Worth noting: the close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing for timing before you plan around it. Inspections and condition reports are your friend here, as with any older vehicle sold as-is.
-

2006 JAGUAR X-TYPE Petrol
More detail
This one’s a standalone lot: a 2006 Jaguar X-Type running petrol. The X-Type was Jaguar’s entry-level sedan from the era, and tidy examples have quietly built a following among people who want a bit of badge prestige without the modern running costs.
Grays is listing it as part of a broader rolling auction covering passenger vehicles, SUVs, utes, and vans. That means you can register once and bid across the whole catalogue if you’re in the market for more than one set of wheels.
Close date is still TBC, so check the listing for timing before you commit. Inspections and condition reports are worth chasing directly with the auctioneer.
-

1998 Toyota Landcruiser Prado RV6 Petrol
More detail
This is a single-lot listing drawn from Grays Online’s rolling vehicle auction, meaning the Prado is one entry in a much larger catalogue of passenger cars, SUVs, utes and vans. Buyers chasing a 90 Series Prado specifically can bid on it directly, while anyone after something else in the same category has the wider run to work through.
The Prado itself is the 1998 RV6 petrol variant, the V6-powered five-door that has built a reputation among Australian buyers for holding up to hard use. Parts are easy to source, the aftermarket is deep, and running costs are predictable. At 27 years old, condition and service history will do the talking, so inspect the listing carefully before bidding.
Pinkenba is a regular Grays pickup point, so local buyers in Brisbane’s north have a straightforward collection. Close date is still to be confirmed, which gives you time to check the full lot details and any inspection windows before committing.
