Great blokes, heaps of practical experience, and whilst there in business to make a dollar, have always been ready to have a chat.

The biggest single plus of private vs. auction is the ability to drive the thing. This could be worth thousands, but not necessarily so.

Check the log books at Minto too, they give you a hint at the service life.

Good luck. I love mine and drive it to work and back, and anywhere else I can find an excuse to go...

3. The vehicles currently coming into the auctions are almost exclusively vehicles returned from units after they were re-equipped with G-Wagens. The result is that they mostly have high kilometres or are in poor condition.
4. Vehicles at the auctions are not registered.

While there may be poor units available on the civilian market, others have low kilometres or have had full or partial re-builds shortly before being auctioned. The first owners after auction, often spend time, money and effort repairing all the little deficiencies that were on the vehicle when they acquired it.

Hi there, how can I get hold of the auction price list you supplied me for further auctions. That list is fantastic:).

Thanks mate

You have to make it yourself, just like I did.

When the auction is running mark all the vehicles on your watch list. Then create a spreadsheet with the details of the vehicles. (add a formula where you multiply the final bid by 6% for Buyers Premium then that total by 10% for GST to find the final drive out price). When the auction finishes open your MyGrays and check the watching tab, then put the wining bid value in the bid column
