How Auctions Work
General Information
Government Auctions SA holds a public auction Wednesdays at their Netley premises with a large range of vehicles.
You'll have your choice of Government owned cars and light commercial vehicles, which includes most popular makes and models.
The vehicles have been well maintained and most are 36 months old and have travelled 60,000kms.
Apart from a good mix of makes and models, there's a great range of attractive colours and options, including air bags, air conditioning, and power steering. Sedans, wagons, commercials, trucks, vans, utes and 4 wheel drives, many of which are still under manufacturer's warranty.
It may take you a visit of two to "get the feel", however be prepared to buy, as you're likely to find that "bargain" straight away.
We want to make your visit to the Government Auctions a pleasant and rewarding experience. We have compiled some easy steps to follow when you bid.
You may want to simply observe a few "biddings" before you give it a go.
