Online Auction Closing

Typically, auctions are over at their posted times. 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 Bidders Agreement for full details of “Going, Going, Gone” period)

Warranty

Please be advised in the state of Victoria when purchasing a vehicle through auction you will not have statutory warranty, cooling-off period or Roadworthy Certificate. 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. No other warranties will be provided.

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.

• Stamp duty.
• Number plates.

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.

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.

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 WOVR 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 register) and list them on the item lot page to ensure full transparency of the asset. We also check to ensure that the vehicle will have clear title prior to agreeing to list it for sale, so you won’t have to worry about taking over any Finance owing.

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
