well the big one is
www.pt.qld.gov.au They are the QLD state government auctions, they used to be wonderful (our family got 4 cars from zillmere) but they are losing a bit of their edge as they nowing selling more smaller cars (downsized fleet) and the prices have increased recently with greater popularity. Some private firms which sell council and fleet cars in QLD would be www.pickles.com.au www.fowles.com.au and finally another site which is always handy is the SA gov auctions site, as it has the sale prices for auctioned cars over the last 8 weeks www.auctions.sa.gov.au
