FAQ
Which auction houses sell cars in Melbourne?
Pickles and Manheim operate the highest-volume yards in Melbourne, running weekly sales from Sunshine and Altona. Lloyds, Grays, Slattery, and specialist houses like Donington and Burns & Co. also list Victorian vehicles regularly.
Do Melbourne vehicle auctions offer inspection days?
Yes (except Pickles). Most major auctioneers hold inspection sessions the business day before online auctions close. Dates are listed on each auctioneer’s sale page.
What fees should I budget for?
Buyer’s premium of 10–18% plus GST is the main additional cost. See here for more details on auction fees. Factor in transport, roadworthy (if needed), and PPSR check costs for a true total.
Trends & Insights
Victoria’s fleet disposal pipeline ran at full tilt this week, with Pickles closing a 93-lot VicFleet Vehicles Auction in Melbourne on October 20. The catalogue skewed heavily toward late-model SUVs, hybrids and small cars drawn from Victorian government sources, part of the routine weekly disposal cycle rather than a one-off clearance (Auction Finder, Oct 17). The composition matters for trade buyers: ex-government hybrids and small passenger cars remain the volume end of the market, and supply is arriving on a predictable schedule.
Manheim’s Melbourne operation at Altona North followed on October 21 with a combined government, fleet, corporate and rental sale listing 67-plus lots. The mix ranged from a 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid through a 2023 Kia Sorento to a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, a spread that captures both the fuel-efficient fleet staple and the older performance SUV trade (Auction Finder, Oct 17). Grays, meanwhile, kept the clearance channel ticking over with an unreserved timed sale in Dandenong South carrying just six passenger lots, small in volume but a reminder that no-reserve stock continues to trickle through the online channel (Grays, Oct 17).
Pickles has extended the run into October 22-23 with national fleet and government auctions closing across multiple locations including Victoria. Corporate, finance and ex-mining stock features in the catalogues, with Toyota Hilux and Landcruiser models among the offerings, sustaining the steady flow of commercial and 4WD units into the Melbourne market (Pickles Auctions, Oct 22). The broader demand backdrop is supportive: national used vehicle sales rose 6 per cent in September to 258,127 units, the third consecutive monthly gain, with 4WD/AWD share climbing alongside automatics and SUVs (AADA, Oct 12).
Buyers should watch whether the ex-government hybrid and small-car lots at Pickles and Manheim clear at stronger bids than the fleet 4WDs, given the September shift toward SUV and automatic demand.

Rod’s Tips
Melbourne has more classic and collector car specialists than anywhere else in Australia. Donington, Burns & Co., and Lloyds all run VIC-based classic events – more here
Pickles Sunshine and Manheim Altona run regular government fleet sales. Ex-VicFleet vehicles are well-maintained and often sold without reserve but expect strong bidding competition.
PPSR check every vehicle before bidding. Finance encumbrances and write-off records are common in the used car market. Most auctioneers should do this for you but a PPSR check is $2, why not.
Donington Auctions
Donington Auctions, based in Victoria, specialise in collector car and motorcycle auctions along with automotive memorabilia.

The Rolls-Royce & Bentley Auction
More detail
Donington Auctions has built its Melbourne operation around classic, collector and performance car sales, with a particular focus on European marques, muscle cars and motorcycles. This Rolls-Royce and Bentley auction fits squarely in that wheelhouse, putting a selection of British luxury metal in front of buyers who know what they are looking at.
The catalogue covers both marques alongside a range of collectables, so there is scope for parts, memorabilia and garage art as well as complete cars. Expect the usual due diligence on service history, matching numbers and condition to separate the good cars from the projects.
The auction closes 25 October 2026. Review the lot list early, arrange inspections where possible, and bid with a firm number in mind.
-

The Rare Automotive Part Auction
More detail
Donington Auctions has built its reputation on classic, collector and performance car sales out of Melbourne, and this parts auction fits the brief. European marques, muscle cars and motorcycles are all part of the specialist’s usual territory, so the lots on offer here should appeal to anyone chasing period-correct components for a restoration or a weekend project.
The categories tell the story: classic cars and collectables, with rare parts as the headline. Whether you need a specific engine part, trim piece or performance component, this is the sort of sale where the obscure item you’ve been hunting for can turn up alongside the obvious ones.
Do your homework on the lot list before bidding. Rare parts can be hard to value, and condition matters more than brand name. The auction closes 26 October, so there’s time to inspect and plan.

The Classic & Vintage Motorcycle Auction – CONSIGNING NOW
More detail
Donington Auctions runs classic, collector and performance car sales out of Melbourne, and this event narrows the focus to motorcycles. Consignments are open now, which means the catalogue will build over the coming months rather than landing all at once.
The house’s usual territory covers European marques alongside muscle cars, so the bike list will likely span British, Italian and Japanese machinery, with the odd collectable thrown in. Condition will vary from project bikes to turnkey riders.
If you have something sitting in the shed, consigning early gets it in front of buyers sooner. If you are buying, check back as lots are added. The auction closes 2 November 2026.

Classic & Collector Car Auction – CONSIGNING NOW
More detail
Donington Auctions runs a dedicated classic and collector car program out of Melbourne, covering European marques, muscle cars and motorcycles. This sale is in the consignment phase, which means the catalogue is still being built and sellers can still put vehicles forward.
For buyers, that timing matters. Early consignments usually mean a broader spread of stock by the time bidding opens, from restoration projects to well-kept performance cars and two-wheelers.
Keep the 23 November 2026 close in mind and check back as lots are added. Full details and the growing lot list are on the Donington Auctions listing.
-

The Maritime & Angling Auction – CONSIGNING NOW
More detail
Donington Auctions runs classic, collector and performance car sales out of Melbourne, with a reputation for European marques, muscle cars and motorcycles. This one widens the net to maritime and angling gear, which means the catalogue should carry the odd mix you only get when a shed, a garage and a boat get cleared in one go.
Consignments are open now, so what lands in the catalogue is still being decided. If you have maritime or fishing gear sitting unused, this is the moment to have a chat with the auctioneer.
Close date is 18 January 2027. Plenty of time to watch the listings build.
Pickles
Pickles VIC operates from Altona North, Sunshine, and Tullamarine, running weekly vehicle auctions covering passenger cars, fleet returns, 4WDs, and ex-government stock.
-

VicFleet Vehicles Auction
More detail
Fleet disposal sales are where the value sits, and this one leans hard on late-model stock. Most of the list is 2023 plated, which means low odometer readings and remaining factory warranty on a lot of it. The Hyundai presence is notable: Santa Fe, Tucson Elite, Kona and i30 cover the SUV and small car ends of the market in one hit.
The utes are the drawcard for tradies. A 2023 Ford Ranger XL and a 2023 Toyota Hilux SR sit alongside each other, both ex-fleet and both likely to have lived a working life rather than a hard one. The 2022 Kia Carnival S is worth a look if you need people-moving capacity, and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and Eclipse Cross PHEV offer a plug-in hybrid option without new-car pricing.
Inspection is at Sunshine North in Melbourne’s west ahead of the 27 October close. Twelve-plus lots means competition will be spread across the range rather than concentrated on any single vehicle.
