Please refer to the individual lot description for asset condition. All lots have pictures assigned to them. These should be taken as a guide only. Assets included in this sale may be used, therefore inspection is highly recommended prior to bidding. If classed as 'Used' the asset may have experienced moderate to heavy usage by consumers and have not been tested to ensure that they function according to the manufacturer's specifications. Some individual items may show signs of wear common with used items and in some instances accessories may vary from the standard (for example, software or manuals may be missing or different, no original packaging). (As per the bidders agreement that you have agreed to)Photos, descriptions and conditions reports (if any) should be used as a guide only. Bids on assets in this sale should be made based on your own inspection and assessment of the assets.

In bidding in this sale, the buyer agrees without reservation to Grays doing so. Email our Accounts Team on accountsreceivable@grays.com.au for an exact invoice total.

Going, Going, Gone! Period

Typically, the initial stage of online auctions are over at their posted times (for example, if the reserve price is met when the clock runs to zero). There are some exceptions to this, however, if there are any successful bids on a particular lot within 10 minutes of the close of the online auction (the “Going, Going, Gone! Period), it will be extended until there are no successful bids within the "Refresh Period".There is no limit to the number of times an online auction can be extended. This makes Grays work more like a live auction where the bidding doesn’t stop as long as there is still interest in the product, rather than assigning an arbitrary cut-off time. This means it is a good idea to watch the action as the auction nears closing time and to check back often.(Refer to Online User Agreement for full details of “Going, Going, Gone” period)

Warranty & Registration

Warranty

Manufacturers’ warranties will still apply to a vehicle as per their terms and conditions. You will have to go directly to the manufacturer with the claim, not Grays. The balance of a new car warranty will also apply to vehicles sold at auction.

A statutory warranty or obligation to repair may be available. Please see further information for each state and territory.

Registration

As registration and ownership requirements vary from state to state buyers should familiarise themselves with the registration requirements of the state in which the vehicle will be registered. As is standard auction practice the buyer is responsible for state transfer fees, duties etc. that may apply. Please note: Current Vic registered vehicles can only be transferred to Vic license holders. The number plates will be removed if the vehicle is unregistered or has interstate plates. You can acquire an unregistered vehicle permit from your local state roads authority for pick up. For VIC registration, once your invoice is paid, you’ll need to visit Vic Roads with:

  • A valid Victorian Certificate of Roadworthiness
  • Your paid Grays Invoice (you will not need the old registration paperwork, these will not be given with the vehicle)
  • Proof of identity. If you’re registering the vehicle in the name of a company or organisation you will need to also provide proof that it is a legal entity.
You may need to pay for:
  • General registration charges
  • Stamp duty.
  • Number plates.
  • Late transfer surcharge. A surcharge will be applied to customers who fail to transfer the registration within 14 days of the date of acquisition

For further advice and information regarding Registration in VIC please CLICK HERE to be directed to the VIC Roads website.

FAQ's

Is Inspection of the vehicle necessary?

Grays always recommends attending inspection where available or sending a third party to inspect your behalf prior to bidding on any asset listed. If inspection is available, the dates, times and location are listed on both the sale page and the lot page – just look out for the inspection calendar which is posted on the lot page or check out the inspection and collection menu tab. The description is a guide only and based on a walk-around inspection and start-up of the vehicle. It reflects the opinion of Grays’ book-in staff which accounts for the vehicle’s age and distance travelled, which may differ from your opinion. Grays does not test drive the vehicle or test its inclusions. As a result, there may be other damages or issues which have not been identified. Grays does not make warranties as to the operation of any feature or inclusion referred to in this description.

What if I can’t attend inspection myself?

If you can’t attend the inspection yourself, you can always send a third party to do so on your behalf. This could be a family member, friend, or your preferred mechanic. Alternatively, we recommend National Auto Service for third party inspection. You can CLICK HERE to be referred to their website to book in an inspection. You can also contact one of our team members direct to ask further questions about the car before bidding. Please contact the Auto Team on 1300 064 978 or email qldauto@grays.com.au

Can I test drive the vehicle?

Unfortunately, due to Health and Safety limitations bidders are not able to test-drive vehicles as we are not covered by insurance. You can, however, start the engine, test the dashboard functions, and open the bonnet to view the engine.

Have we checked if there is a Written Off Vehicle Record or finance owing on the vehicle?

As a licensed motor dealer, we do ensure that we check vehicles for any records on the WOVR (Written Off Vehicle Record) and list them on the item lot page to ensure full transparency of the asset. In many cases the vehicles that have a security interest registered against them, will have this lifted as soon as the vehicle is sold and monies are cleared in the secured party’s/security holder’s account. It may take up to 10 business days for the security interest to be removed.

Please note: The above will help you to reduce the risks from buying at auction but there is still a certain degree of risk when buying from auction when there is no warranty or cooling off period
