Default What would you pay at auction

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?

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.
