Default car auctions

Hey guys i'm after 2 x falcon wagons on dedicated gas that must be under 2 years old for my business anyway i have scoured pickles and fowles auctions here in melbourne for a while now what i'd like to know is there any other places that auction late model vehicles i read on here somewhere that there are websites that tell you where the government vehicle auctions are or some other auction places.

Besides i don't want to give fowles my businees anyway last time i bought a car of them they scratched the hell out of it there was clearly fresh paint from another car where the scrapes were and they wouldn't admit it this was an hour after auction mind you and i had a good look at the car before bidding

Ive been to most the auctions in sydney over the last week or so,here really is some crap out there,but where I did find was very good was CAS car auctions sydney,they have a website,have a look at what they've got.
I picked up an AU ghia yesterday from there,excellent service,Heaps of good cars.A mixture of private and government cars.

Theres another place at auburn thats has All government/lease company cars only,they sell mainly to dealers as they offer a figure for a car and at the end of the day the auction guys ring you and tell you the highest dealer offer and if you match it or beat him the cars yours. You've got to know your prices though.

all i can say is bring a camera, if you buy it take pictures of it as it stands....if theres any damage...that car is not what your purchased and you (maybe) could neg a new price... or a current affair lol < we love them when theyre in our favour

what if you google "melbourne gov auctions" or sometimes in the D.O.T. (department of transport) has posters saying when and where....or the local paper
