We obtain our cars from various leading insurance companies in South Africa. Our weekly auctions take place from Monday to Friday, with occasional Saturday auctions as an added feature, providing you with the opportunity to place bids on your desired vehicles. Should your bid be the highest among all participants and the reserve (STC) has been lifted, you will be issued an invoice for the respective vehicle. For further details about this procedure, kindly click the button provided below.
Certainly, you are provided with the choice to allocate your deposit towards an existing invoice or opt for a refund if you are unsuccessful in purchasing a vehicle. Additionally, there's the option to retain your deposit with us, enabling you to register for upcoming auctions without the need for an additional deposit. To utilize your deposit, please submit a request along with your invoice number to sales@auctionnation.co.za. For those seeking a deposit refund, kindly fill out the form below and send it back, along with the required documentation mentioned on the form, to sales@auctionnation.co.za.
All payments are required to be completed through EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) using your invoice number as the designated reference. It is crucial to utilize the invoice number as reference to ensure proper allocation of your payment. Failure to include the invoice number might result in payment misplacement. Should you have any inquiries regarding payments, kindly reach out to us at payments@auctionnation.co.za. For the relevant banking details, please access the link provided below.

We sell vehicles of three code types:
Code 2: These are second hand used vehicles that have had one or more previous owners, or they've been recovered after having been stolen or they have been in a minor accident.
Code 3: These are Code 1 or Code 2 vehicles that have been involved in an accident and are unfit to use on the road. These cars have been structurally damaged and need substantial rebuilding before they can be deemed roadworthy.
Code 4: These are cars that can be sold as "parts only". They've been permanently damaged, which means that the chassis has either been compacted, compressed or melted.

You can also get our vehicles at wholesale prices before they hit the auction floor! These vehicles have been hand selected by our managers as prime stock – they're just looking for a home before auction. So if you want to get in early come view our wholesale stock.
