FAQ

Are Manheim auctions open to the public?
While Manheim’s core business is wholesale, public online bidding is increasingly available through their digital platform. Check registration requirements on their website, as they vary by sale type.
What buyer’s premium does Manheim charge?
Buyer fees vary by sale type and buyer registration category. Always check the specific sale terms before bidding.
What’s the typical condition of Manheim fleet vehicles?
Generally good. Fleet vehicles are maintained to manufacturer schedules. High kilometres are common but so are complete service histories. Dealer trade-ins can be hit and miss.
Are inspections offered?
Generally yes. There are set times and strict conditions for inspections as per the auction page. Condition reports are usually available for major sales.
Trends & Insights
Over 500 used cars are crossing the block each Wednesday at Manheim’s Altona North Melbourne site, a high volume mix spanning project cars, family SUVs, near new EVs, and luxury models from BYD, Tesla, Mercedes, and BMW (Manheim Australia Facebook, Jun 3). This sustained weekly cadence in Victoria sits alongside major national simulcast activity. The NSW, QLD & NT Passenger & Commercial BidNow Auction currently features 335 live lots ending soon (Manheim.com.au, Jun 4), while the VIC, TAS, SA & WA counterpart lists 383 lots in an ongoing national online event (Manheim.com.au, Jun 4). The breadth of supply across both simulcast channels confirms that dealer demand for wholesale stock remains broad and consistent.
Fleet and government channels are contributing heavily to the current pipeline. Brisbane’s QFleet auction is releasing dozens of vehicles, highlighted by a 30 lot QFleet event and a 143 lot Brisbane Government, Fleet, Corporate, and Rental sale, both closing within days (Manheim.com.au, Jun 4). In Sydney, combined government, fleet, corporate, and clearing vehicle auctions total nearly 200 lots, with 92 government and fleet lots alongside 107 clearing vehicles giving dealers a deep pool of inventory (Manheim.com.au, Jun 4). This EOFY period surge in ex government and corporate stock is providing buyers with unusual model diversity and competitive starting prices.
The market is absorbing these volumes without signs of a price correction, as multiple state based simulcast events and physical Melbourne auctions run concurrently. The mix of near new EVs and luxury models alongside traditional fleet sedans and utes is broadening the buyer base across both trade and retail ready segments. Watch for further fleet and government releases to hit the BidNow platform as EOFY clearance deadlines approach, with the Brisbane and Sydney government sales likely to set the tone for residual values in the coming week.

Rod’s Tips
Manheim handles the majority of ex-government fleet in Australia. Commonwealth and state government vehicles are typically one-owner, log-book serviced, and come in volume. This produces predictable quality and competitive but fair pricing.
Corporate fleet sales tend to cluster at end of financial year. June and July see elevated supply as companies cycle their fleets. More volume means more choice — and sometimes softer prices on common models.
Rental car fleet disposals at Manheim are worth watching. Major rental companies sell their fleet on a rolling annual cycle. These vehicles are high-km but well-maintained and priced accordingly below market value.
Arrive early for physical inspections. Manheim facilities see high throughput. Getting there early for the inspection period means more time on each vehicle and less waiting for popular lots.
