Buying and selling a car at auction can be a great value way to get the car of your dreams or bargain to get you from A to B.
Around Sydney, there are a variety of car auction venues open to the public to buy and sell cars. Ex-lease vehicles as well as ex-government, collectable or cars subject to insurance claims are available, often at very good prices.
As with purchasing any item at auction, you need to make yourself well informed ahead of time on a cars general value and arm yourself with the information you need to make an informed purchase decision, including knowing about the amount of buyers premium that is payable on top of the hammer fall price.
