Hey all I am currently in the market for atleast a 7 seat car and was thinking of going to the auctions here in melbourne as they are usually cheaper then car yard or private sales.
I am looking for a territory but am open to any other 7 seater you think may fit the bill. Was just wondering what I would expect to pay for a Territory at auction and any other 7 seater you have seen go for a decent price budget is around 10k but would like to pay less if possible. what would you expect this one to go for? http://www.pickles.com.au/cars/vehic...otid-980053411

1998 Pajero GLS 2.8lt turbo diesel 7 seater $7,000 ish............ Petrol models go cheaper, bit iffy thou with high ks.........
High ks on the one your looking at. Just depends on the day. Why don't you join Pickles online as an observer and watch a few different auctions in different states, it will give you and idea the, BTW I reckon about $11,000 on a good day.............

General rule of thumb for the Auctions:
Trade in price at a car yard is about as much as you should pay for any vehicle at auction. Anything under that and you've got a bargain. You wont get the Terry for less than 10k BTW. |

I agree with davway, 10K is a bit tight even though the vehicle in question has done almost 200,000 ks
If it were me, on this vehicle, I'd have a talk to the auctioneer after it has been passed in. Offer circa 11,500 - 12-500 and see how you go. The name of the game is to shift the vehicles, not let them sit and rot.
