Some late model Motor Vehicles may still have the balance of New Car Warranty. Please confirm with the vehicle manufacturer prior to auction.

After market third party warranties are available for purchase from Valley Motor Auctions on most vehicles up until the delivery of a vehicle.

No statutory warranty applies to any vehicle sold by Valley Motor Auctions via auction. All vehicles at Valley Motor Auctions and which have been prepared for display prior to sale are affixed with a Form 11 as is regulated by the Motor Dealers and Repairers act of 2013. When sold at auction all vehicles are sold under the auspices that form, and as such there no statutory warranty applies to any vehicle sold by Valley Motor Auctions via auction including simulcast auctions.

For further information as to the rights of the purchaser and the obligations of the auctioneer pursuant to this form a purchaser may either attend Valley Motor Auctions’ premises and view the document attached to the vehicle they may wish to bid upon or request that a member of staff fax or email a copy of the Form 11 to them.

If the vehicle has been registered within the last month you do not need a Safety Inspection Report. To transfer the registration into your name you will need to take the invoice/receipt as proof of purchase plus the Safety Inspection Report (if applicable) to the RMS. At the RMS you must complete a Transfer of Registration form and pay stamp duty and transfer fees within 14 days of purchase.

Title

VMA ensures the Vendor of each vehicle has good title and the proper authority to sell each vehicle sold at our auction. Some vehicles may have an Interest registered (encumbrance) on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) because some consignment vehicles may have finance owing and the finance company will not release their encumbrance on the car until they have been paid. Once you have paid for your car the funds are transferred to the finance company and the lien encumbrance will be lifted.

Title to a Lot auctioned shall remain with the Vendor until the full purchase price and all other sums payable in respect of the Lot are paid in full, all cheques cleared, and the Lot removed.

GST

All our auctions are conducted inclusive of GST. You may from time to time hear the auctioneer announce that ‘No Tax Invoice’ or ‘No GST’. This means that a vehicle has been consigned from a private owner or charity. If you are bidding on behalf of a business you will not be able to claim the GST on these vehicles.

Buyers Premium

The price you pay for your vehicle is your bid price plus a buyers premium and/or an admin fee.

Our standard fees for motor vehicles including GST are:

Dealers:      up to $1500 - $33 Processing Fee

                   $1500 & over - $220 Buyers Premium + $33 Processing Fee or as announced.

Public:        $726 Buyers Premium + $220 Admin Fee + $33 Processing Fee or as announced.

Government, Ex-Government and Council Vehicles: $880 Buyers Premium and $990 on vehicles over $20000 + $33 Processing Fee.

Consignment and C.O.D. Vehicles must be paid in full before delivery and within 2 business days.

For Trucks, Plant and General Goods fees please refer to the auction header.

Reserves

All vehicles have a reserve unless the auctioneer announces that the car has no reserve.

Referred or Submit

If you are the highest bidder and the auctioneer says ‘Submit’ or ‘Referred’ your bid is below reserve and we will then contact the owner of the vehicle. A representative from Valley Motor Auctions will contact you and negotiate a price on your behalf with the owner of the vehicle. 

If you verbally agree to purchase the car at a negotiated price we will charge your credit card with the deposit of $500.

Sold

If you are the highest bidder and the auctioneer says ‘Sold’ then you have entered into a legally binding contract to purchase the vehicle. Your credit card will be charged with a deposit of $500 and you will receive an invoice by email for the balance of the vehicle. Please confirm the Buyers Premiums and Administration Fees before making payment. 

You must pay the balance within 48 hours by cash, EFT or bank cheque. Personal or company cheques are not accepted by Valley Motor Auctions.

Vehicle Collection

When you have successfully bid and paid a deposit, a VMA representative will contact you to organise a time for you to collect the vehicle.

Unless otherwise stated, vehicles can be collected from our premises at 47 Munibung Road Cardiff (Newcastle) 2285.

Can I have my vehicle delivered?

Yes, provided that payment in full has been received. We have a fleet of our own trucks and we also use contractors. Please contact us on 0491 014 408 or email transport@valleyauctions.com.au to make arrangements.

Can I withdraw a bid.

The auctioneer did not acknowledge my bid

The streaming video and sound is approximately ½ second behind. This may be longer if you have a slow internet connection. Consequently if you bid based upon hearing the auctioneer’s voice the auctioneer may have already taken a bid from the floor. You should bid based upon the bidding button. There is no delay with the bid button.

I can’t log in at the auction time, can I enter an absentee bid.

Yes, logon and view the catalogue listing. Click on the lot and enter your maximum bid. The system will automatically bid on your behalf during the auction.
