I think the consensus was a bidding war..

Also it may have been a rebuilt one, they fetch quite high prices.

I guess everything is a possibility, but (just looking at the pics) there really doesn't seem to be anything under the hood that looks new and I thought they reset the mileage when a rebuild was completed.

Here's my thoughts (FWIW :-)

- Perhaps the new owner used the vehicle in an overseas theatre and bought it for sentimental reasons

- Or, it's actually stuffed full of "contraband" from overseas and only a couple of people new this

Either way, I hope the new owner will enjoy their new Perentie!

KG Kanimbla thought he was on a winner , until JD guzzumped with an extra 50%, followed 1 minute later by JB Greenacre with a winning punt.

Strange thing was that JD and JB didn't feature in earlier bids ( like as thought they didn't follow this beast or were playing coy) then at the penultimate moment they launched themselves . Why?

I'm with you neophyteguy.... Own up JD and JB ! , what was the contraband?

Nope, cant agree..


The bidding history indicates only your last bid, not the 20 or so you- and others made. Next auction, follow the bidding & you will see. KG Kanimbla probably had an autobid & JD could have chucked in 10 bids, only his successful bid shows up, so he only got outbid by $100, not 50%
Looking at the time - 5.12PM - & I bet if I did a really anal analysis it will show that these bidders lost out on earlier vehicles and jumped on the remaining vehicles & simply got excited in the moment - after all it is an auction & very easy- I've gone $500 over my max a few times- to press that button...
It wasn't a rebuild.

Minto will have a large number of disassembled vehicles from the sound of it and for the good folks in the NT there will be another auction in Darwin this month

The other problem was it was the brand new one in Vic absolutely as it was built. So know I wait for another one. It was the expensive one. Not sure what will happen to it now.

Well, it took them less than a month to fix it.


202-216 is re-offered for sale this month in Melb with a nice looking driver's door. Well, actually, they've re-used the same pics from last month!

Not sure if this topic is ok as I was surprised to not see any threads for previous auctions. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place.

Is it ok to discuss the auction in progress here?

This one is a little different than previous. At least the Minto catalog is. I haven't looked at the other states yet.
