Inside This Week’s Salvage Auction Market – 20 Upcoming Sales inc Salvage Cars, Repairable Write-Offs & 4WDs

This is a classic NT salvage catalogue, meaning most lots are coming in with accident damage, hail hits, or the kind of wear you expect from a hard-working territory vehicle. The 2021 Hilux and 2002 Prado will draw the tradie and tourer crowd, but the real value is likely in the newer stuff. A 2025 Haval Jolion with bugger-all kays on the clock is a rare sight in a salvage auction, and the 2024 Triton could be a solid rebuild if the damage is mostly panel and paint.

Buyers should factor in freight from Winnellie, as Darwin to the eastern states isn’t cheap, and check the photos carefully for flood or structural red flags. Pickles has the inspection details and condition reports up online, so do your homework before bidding. With 12 lots on the list and a close date of September 7, there’s enough variety here to suit a backyard wrecker or someone chasing a cheap runabout, but the smart money will be on the late-model repairables.

The headline act here is that 2018 Class Lexion 760, a serious bit of harvest machinery that would normally carry a hefty price tag. For buyers chasing council or road maintenance gear, the 2011 Johnston 142A 101T and 2015 Johnston CN201 are both worth a look, as they hold their value well if the hours are reasonable.

On the smaller end, the 2015 Linde R16HD forklift and the 1996 Toyota 02-6FG15 offer options for warehouse or yard work, while the John Deere 997 Z-Track mower suits turf jobs. The 2023 Kubota SVL75-2 is a recent-model compact track loader, so expect plenty of interest from builders and landscapers.

It’s a national online format, which means buyers need to factor in freight from whatever location each lot sits at. The 12+ lots are spread across multiple sites, so check the individual listing details for each item before bidding to avoid a nasty surprise on transport costs.

Autorola is running this one as a straight salvage play, with two vehicles that have come through the ex-fleet or statutory channel. That means they’re likely to be trade-only prospects, suited to a repairer, wrecker, or someone with a panel shop connection. Don’t expect a clean weekend driver here, the whole point is the buy price versus the parts or repair value.

The lot list is thin at two entries, so the detail is in the individual listings. Look for the damage descriptions and any photos showing the impact points, that’s where the real story is. Autorola’s platform runs a straightforward eBid format, so you’re competing against other dealers and dismantlers, not the general public. Factor in the usual salvage fees and transport to your workshop before you lock in a number.

If you’ve bought through Autorola before, you’ll know the drill: registration, deposit, and a tight turnaround on payment and pickup. If you’re new to it, read their terms on salvage titles and any outstanding compliance issues. The close date is 9 September, so there’s time to do the homework, but don’t leave the condition reports till the last hour.

This is a proper mixed bag, with heavy hitters sitting alongside everyday workhorses. The Lexion 760 is the headline act for broadacre croppers, while the New Holland CR960 and 2022 Case IH 2152 give you backup in the harvest department. On the earthmoving side, the Komatsu HM300-2 and Caterpillar 924H wheel loader are solid buys if you need production capacity without paying new prices.

For the smaller operators, the Caterpillar 301.8 mini excavator and ASV RT-60 compact track loader are handy additions, and the John Deere 6330 is a reliable all-rounder for mixed farming. The 2010 Sullair compressor and 2013 Sandvik DP1500i suggest there’s drilling and site work covered too. Given the national spread, factor in freight costs before you bid, and check the salvage status on each unit carefully, as condition will vary significantly across the lots. Pickles has listed over a dozen items, so expect more to be added as the close date approaches.

Autorola’s Lux catalogue is built for punters chasing Euro badges without the showroom price tag. This particular sale covers a couple of damaged European and specialty vehicles, likely ex-fleet or statutory write-offs, so condition varies and photos are your best mate before bidding.

The standout angle here is the repair potential. If you’ve got spray booth access or a solid parts network, these lots often stack up well against buying a clean car at auction. Check the damage reports carefully, as some may need compliance work or have structural notes that affect rego.

Bidding closes on 11 September 2026, so there’s time to do your homework. Autorola runs these disposals regularly, but the Lux-specific listing is where the higher-end Euro stock lands, so it’s worth a look if you’re chasing something with a bit more grunt than the usual fleet Corolla.

This is a scattered national clearance, so factor in freight costs before you bid. The headline lot is the 2021 Sloane Built tri-axle tipper, a near-new piece of gear that would normally sit at a premium. The 2019 Kenworth T610 and the 2002 T401 give the heavy-haul crowd two solid options at different ends of the age and price spectrum.

For the lighter end, there’s a 2012 Mitsubishi Fuso Rosa BE600 bus, a 2006 Kia K2700, and a 1998 Hino FD2J. The Volvo pair, a 1999 FH12 460 and a 2005 FM 12, are the sort of workhorses that keep going if they’ve been looked after. Salvage titles mean you need to check the damage reports and registration status carefully. Pickles runs these national salvage sales regularly, so bidding is online only and lots close from 14 September.

The 2025 Corolla Ascent Sport is the standout for anyone chasing a near-new write-off with minimal work needed. Likewise, the 2023 Ford Everest and 2024 Volkswagen Polo 85TSI are recent enough to make parts hunting straightforward, and the 2018 RAV4 GX is always in demand for its resale value. On the tradie side, the 2021 Mitsubishi Triton GLX and 2020 Ford Transit 350L are worth a look if you’ve got the time to sort them out.

The 2012 Falcon Ute EcoLPi is the left-field pick, running on LPG and a bit of a cult favourite, so it could go either way depending on the damage. The 2017 Toyota Hiace and the two Camrys (2014 Hybrid, 2022 Ascent) round out a list that leans heavily on Japanese reliability. With 12+ lots, it’s a smaller catalogue, so expect bidding to be competitive on the cleanest units. Pickles has the yard at Phoenix Road & Sudlow Road in Bibra Lake, and the close date is set for 7 September 2026. Check the photos carefully, as salvage grading varies widely across these lots.

Ross is clearing out a solid mix of trade and salvage stock from a Perth industrial site. The timber is the headline act here, with non-structural H4 treated pine in 190 x 45mm, 170 x 35mm, and 120 x 45mm profiles, running from 2.4m to 3.6m lengths. That’s a decent stash for fencing, garden beds, or general site work, and it’s spread across multiple lots so you can bid on what you actually need.

The gear isn’t all timber. Two Scales Plus platform scales, model NSB-1212-1500, are listed with their head units and feet, but they’ll need calibrating before use. If you’re after something lighter, there’s a fibreglass dinghy with oars, a pallet of stackable crates, and a set of five alloy wheels and centre caps for a Hummer. Also on the docket are four wheels to suit a Fiat, shod in 195/55R16.

Ross runs regular online, live, and in-house auctions from Perth, pulling together WA Police forfeited goods, machinery, and business closure stock. This one closes on 8 September, so inspect what you can and factor in any calibration or transport costs before you bid.

This is a targeted sale for anyone kitting out a ute or 4×4 without paying retail. The standout lots are the Ironman 4×4 bars, all listed with mounting kits and underbody protection plates. Most carry an "inspection recommended" tag, which is worth heeding, as salvage stock can hide damage from a previous fitment or removal. Specific fits include a RAID bar for the 2023+ VW Amarok, a bullbar for the next-gen Ford Everest, and a unit for the 2015+ Fortuner.

Beyond the bars, there are five pairs of tapered under-tray tool boxes, 700mm left and right, in matte black aluminium. These are the kind of gear tradies and off-roaders grab in bulk, and with five pairs listed, there’s room to bid conservatively on one lot and still walk away with a set. The motorised ute canopy for a Toyota Rogue Edition dual cab is the oddball here, but if you have that tray, it could be a cheap score.

Ross’s runs regular auctions out of Cannington, often moving forfeited goods and business closure stock. This one closes on 8 September 2026, so there’s time to inspect in person. Given the mounting kits are included, factor in the labour cost of fitting if you are not doing it yourself, and check the inspection notes before you commit.

This is a straight renovation salvage sale, and the doors are the drawcard. You are looking at a consistent run of Bunaken-style doors with single glass panels, plus a couple of ED 52s with twin glass and one ED 82 with three solid panels, no glass. Sizes are mostly standard 2040 x 820 x 40mm, with the ED 21s slightly wider at 870mm and thinner at 38mm, so check your openings before bidding.

Ross runs these online auctions regularly out of Perth, often pulling together police forfeitures, closed businesses, and building surplus. Here, the appeal is simple: if you are reno-ing or building and need matching internal doors, buying them in one lot beats paying retail per door at a hardware chain. The glass-panel doors suit a modern or coastal look, while the solid ED 82 and ED 21s are better for bedrooms or utility areas where you want less light and more privacy.

No freight help is listed, so factor in pickup from Cannington. With 12 lots confirmed and room for more to be added before close, check the listing again closer to September 8. If the reserve is sensible, this is a cheap way to tick off a whole house worth of doors.

Ross’s operation in Cannington is a regular clearing house for WA Police forfeitures, business closures, and general oddments, so this catalogue is a bit of a mixed bag with a nostalgic twist. The Coca-Cola lots are the clear draw, with the 1966 VW Combi and the Ford Publicitaire die-casts likely to stir up the collectors. There’s also an ice tub with an “On The Rocks” glass set, a bundle of jars with lids, and a Simpson’s collector cards bundle thrown in with a Coke book and other bits.

Beyond the Coke gear, the carnival glassware and stamp albums are the sort of lots that can go cheap if no one else is paying attention. The salvage-vehicle category is also listed, so there may be more than just collectables hiding in the full catalogue. Bidding closes 8 September, and with 12+ lots, it’s worth scrolling through the full list to see what else Ross has dragged out of the back shed.

This salvage-style auction is built for volume buyers and stallholders. The lot list is heavy on repeat lines: three separate lots of roughly 50 assorted cushion covers each, three lots of around 30 tote bags, and two lots of seven boxes of incense sticks with holders. If you’re after a consistent product mix, the duplication works in your favour.

The elephant theme runs through several lots, with trinkets, bells, and wooden figures bundled together. These read as the kind of boho decor that moves well at markets or through online stores. No vehicles appear in the lot list despite the category tags, so treat this as a pure homewares and giftware clearance.

Ross operates regular auctions out of Perth, handling everything from police forfeitures to business closures. This one looks like a retail stock reduction, so condition should be shelf-fresh rather than damaged. Bidding closes 8 September 2026, and with 12-plus lots, it’s a straightforward job for anyone looking to top up inventory cheaply.

This is a proper clearance of damaged and end-of-life commercial gear. The Isuzu NPR with the tray body is a common site truck, ideal for a panel beater or parts recycler. The Fuso Canter is a workhorse that often gets written off for minor panel damage. The HiAce is a solid candidate for a van conversion or courier rebuild if the structural bits are straight.

Beyond the trucks, expect a mix of passenger cars and 4x4s, plus whatever industrial equipment sbauction has collected. The unreserved format means no reserve price holding things back. First in with the highest bid takes it. Check the photos carefully for damage reports and don’t assume anything is driveable. The sale closes 1 July, so get your inspection done early.

This is a straight-up unreserved sale, so prices should reflect the condition of each lot rather than any reserve floor. The vehicle list includes a mix of daily drivers and project cars, with several Japanese 4×4 utes and vans that could suit a tradie or a weekend off-roader. The salvage section is worth a look if you have the skills to repair or the contacts to part out. Trailers range from small box trailers to heavier plant haulers, which often get overlooked in general auctions.

Buyers should factor in Midland location for pickup logistics. Inspection is recommended, especially for the salvage lots where damage can be hidden. No buyer’s premium has been flagged, but confirm with sbauction before bidding. The close date is 23 July 2026, so there’s time to register and run the rego checks.

This is a statutory disposal, meaning the vehicles are being sold to satisfy court orders, not because an owner chose to trade them in. That often translates to solid buying if you can handle the paperwork and possible condition issues. Autorola runs these listings with detailed condition reports and photos, so you can gauge whether a car is a straightforward fix or a parts donor before you bid.

The six lots are all from Victoria, and the range looks typical of police and salvage auctions: a mix of sedans, SUVs, and utes, with varying odometer readings and damage levels. Some will be registered or able to be registered after a roadworthy, others may be too costly to repair and better stripped for parts. Check the individual lot descriptions for any notes on keys, service history, and whether the vehicle is driveable or needs a tow.

Buyers should factor in the Sheriff’s Office fee structure and Autorola’s buyer premium, plus GST where applicable. Inspection windows are usually limited, so line up a mechanic or someone who knows their way around a car if you’re not confident. Bidding is online only, so register early and have your ID verified before the close date.

This is Part 3 of an ongoing clearance, so the yard’s been turning over fresh stock for a while. MGS has been at it since 1980, handling commercial, ag, mining and deceased estate work, which means the variety here is genuine. You’re not just looking at one type of buyer’s leftovers. There’s likely to be late-model sedans and utes with hail or rear-end damage, plus older farm trucks that’ve seen better days but still have life in the running gear.

For anyone chasing a project, the salvage side is where the value sits. A written-off Hilux or Ranger with a bent guard can still donate its motor, gearbox or diff to a live one. Check the photos hard for structural hits, because a side-swipe is a different job to a front-end crunch. And if you’re after parts, don’t overlook the non-runner lots. They often carry untouched interiors and electronics worth more than the bid.

Kilkenny’s easy to get to, so it’s worth a pre-auction inspection if the schedule suits. MGS runs these regularly, but Part 3 suggests the good stuff’s been drip-fed out, so late entries could be the pick. Set your budget, know your wrecking yard prices, and don’t get emotional over a car with a bent chassis rail.
