From Pre-Approval to Sold! Inside the ABSA PE Auction with Nicol from Auction Finance

 

The ABSA Passenger & Commercial Vehicle Auction is landing in Gqeberha on 12 June 2025, and buyers are already circling quality stock—from SUVs and sedans to trucks, trailers, and even yellow metal equipment. But before the first bid is placed, smart buyers are already speaking to Nicol Palmer, one of Auction Finance’s seasoned F&I consultants, to get pre-approved and ready to roll.

We asked Nicol to share what buyers need to know before auction day, and why getting your finance sorted upfront is a non-negotiable.

---

📝 What’s the first step to securing finance at an auction?

According to Nicol, it all starts with a completed application and the right supporting documents. The requirements vary slightly between private buyers and businesses, but the goal is the same: get a clear picture of your financial profile before the bidding begins.

For private buyers:

• Completed and signed application form

• SA ID and valid driver’s licence

• Proof of address (credit provider statement, not older than 3 months)

• 3 months’ bank statements (6 months if self-employed)

• 3 months’ payslips

• Proof of additional income (if applicable)

For businesses:

• Completed juristic application + director applications

• Company registration docs (CK/PTY)

• 6 months’ bank statements

• Audited financials or up-to-date management accounts

• Proof of address (for the company and all directors)

---

💡 Why does pre-approval matter?

“Bidding without finance in place is risky,” Nicol warns. “Buyers often assume their credit is perfect, but things can go sideways quickly. If your bid is successful but the bank declines your finance—or offers a poor rate—you only have 48 hours to pay, or you’ll lose your registration deposit and be blacklisted from future auctions.”

That’s why Auction Finance helps clients apply in advance, giving them a realistic approval amount, clarity on rates, and peace of mind to bid with confidence.

---

🚛 What kind of vehicles are on offer?

Buyers can expect a wide range of assets at this auction:

• Popular cars and SUVs

• High-end models

• Commercial vehicles (trucks, trailers, bakkies)

• Agricultural equipment and yellow metal

• Even buses and non-runners (note: non-runners can’t be financed traditionally, but Auction Finance can assist with personal loans if needed)

---

🔧 How does Auction Finance tailor finance for each buyer?

“No two buyers are the same,” Nicol explains. “We take time to understand your needs—whether you're a private buyer, a fleet manager, or a small business. We also offer value-added products like warranties, insurance, and deposit protectors. We don’t just secure finance—we set you up for success long after the auction.”

---

💼 Why choose Auction Finance?

Nicol doesn’t hold back: “There’s no one else quite like us.”

Auction Finance works with all four major banks—ABSA, Standard Bank, WesBank, MFC—as well as a panel of 13 private funders. That means clients can compare offers and choose the best one for their needs.

“If it has a VIN or engine number, we can finance it. We’re what I like to call the hybrid of finance,” says Nicol. “You get options, support, and a team that genuinely cares.”

---

⏱️ How long does approval take?

If you’re a private buyer with your documents ready, approval can happen the same day. For companies, it usually takes up to 48 hours, since the vetting process is more complex.

So don’t wait for auction day—get everything in order now.

---

❓ What advice would you give to first-time bidders?

“Don’t let auction fever get to you,” Nicol laughs. “Stay cool, set your limits, and attend the viewing days to inspect the vehicles properly. The more prepared you are, the better your experience will be.”

---

👥 How does Auction Finance support buyers on the day?

On-site support in the Eastern Cape is hands-on: “We help you register, get your buyer number, and guide you through the process. We’re there to make sure you feel confident, not confused.”

---

💬 Final thoughts?

“If you’ve never financed through an auction, don’t stress. We’re here to walk you through everything. And if you’re already a savvy buyer—come get a better deal with us.”

ABSA’s Next Durban Auction Drops – 200+ Bank Vehicles Up for Grabs!

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the market, you’ll know that value is getting harder to find on the showroom floor. With private listings drying up and big-brand dealers tightening margins, more South Africans are turning back to vehicle auctions – especially genuine bank repossessions – for fair prices and real choice.

That’s why the newly announced ABSA Bank Passenger and Commercial Vehicle Auction in Durban is one you don’t want to miss.

📅 Auction Date Confirmed: Wednesday, 11 June 2025 – and it’s going to be big.

Over 200 cars, bakkies, and commercials will be going under the hammer, all from ABSA’s verified repossession stock. It’s a golden opportunity for buyers in KZN and across the country to bid online with confidence and potentially snag serious value.

This is not a generic fleet sale — it’s an official ABSA Bank instruction auction, webcast live with a proper pre-auction viewing at Park Village’s Durban facility.

ABSA’s Vehicle Auction: Where the Market Speaks

When it comes to car auctions, volume tells the truth. And no auction reflects the mood of the South African used vehicle market quite like ABSA’s upcoming Passenger and Commercial Vehicle Auction in Boksburg. With over 200 genuine bank-repossessed vehicles on offer, this event sets the tone for what buyers are paying — and what dealers are selling — right now.

🧭 A Barometer for Car Buyers

Wondering what a fair price is for a used car these days? With so many new brands entering the market and uncertainty about resale values, it’s understandable. That’s exactly why this auction is worth watching: It gives you real-time insights into what vehicles are actually going for — not inflated showroom prices or dealer markups.

Best of all? You can still buy on average below trade guide values, if you’re ready and pre-approved.

Let’s Ride: Why the Bloemfontein Vehicle Auction Should Be on Your Radar This Week

By Auction Finance Insider

For most South Africans shopping for a car, auctions are still uncharted territory. But ask anyone who's been to an Aucor Bloemfontein vehicle sale and they'll tell you: it’s one of the best-kept secrets in the car-buying world. Whether you're after a bargain, hunting for something special, or just want more value for your money—this auction might just surprise you.

What’s Under the Hammer?

This Thursday, 05 June at 10:30, Aucor Bloemfontein is hosting a Multi-Bank Vehicle Auction, with vehicles from both MFC and Standard Bank hitting the block.

We spoke with auction manager Jaques van der Linde, who gave us a sneak peek into what buyers can expect—and it’s anything but boring. “This auction is dominated by super SUVs and small hatchbacks,” he says. “We're talking about 2024 VW Tiguans, T-Crosses, Polos, and Ford Territories, all with crazy low mileage.”

And it's not just new-gen stock. For those looking at the sweet spot of value and affordability, there’s plenty of 2-4 year-old Kia Seltos and Hyundai Venues, all with under 80,000km. The variety is rich too: older Polos, Nissan workhorses, and even a few surprises—like an eye-catching spread of BMWs, ranging from a slick 118i to a classic 335i.

How Much Should You Expect to Spend?

Prices vary—but deals are real.

While the brand-new SUVs may be tough to predict (this is Bloem’s first-ever Tiguan R-Line and Territory EcoBoost going under the hammer), Jaques says the bulk of auction prices traditionally sit between R70,000 and R180,000. The full spread can range from as low as R30,000 to over R500,000, depending on the make and condition.

So whether you’re shopping for a student runaround, upgrading your family wheels, or scouting a second car, there’s a lane for every budget.

First-Time Auction Buyer? Read This.

Jaques says Bloem auctions attract a steady stream of first-time buyers, many drawn in by the opportunity to get more car for less money. But don’t go in blind. His advice?

“Only bid on a vehicle that you’ve inspected. And I’ll say it again—only bid on a vehicle you’ve inspected!”

Take advantage of the viewing days on Tuesday, 03 June and Wednesday, 04 June (from 08:00 to 17:00 at 1 Kruger Avenue, Estoire). Know your budget, ask about VAT and buyer’s commission, and chat to Celeste from Auction Finance for help on pre-approvals or understanding total costs.

What Makes Bloem Stand Out?

Beyond the great cars, the Bloemfontein auction has built a reputation for its welcoming vibe and efficient layout. “Lekker people. Friendly. Helpful,” Jaques sums it up. “We have credible stock, low foot traffic compared to the big metros, and yes—you get a free cappuccino while you browse.”

Sometimes, the little things really do count.

Webcast Bidding: Convenient, But Be Prepared

Can’t make it in person? Pre-live online bidding opens Wednesday, 4 June at 14:00, and live webcast bidding follows on auction day.

If you’re bidding remotely, Jaques urges buyers to register early, get FICA documents in order, and double-check your internet setup.

“Bandwidth, speed, software—none of that’s under our control,” he says. “If you’re worried, use the Max Bid function so you don’t miss out.”

The Power of Pre-Approved Finance

Here's what many auction-goers still don’t realise: you don’t need to show up with a bag of cash. With Auction Finance, pre-approved bank finance is a simple, stress-free process.

“Celeste and her team don’t just crunch numbers,” Jaques says. “They explain the auction process, help you understand what you can afford, and make sure you’re bidding with confidence. That means fewer post-auction cancellations and happier buyers driving off in a great deal.”

If you’ve never considered buying a car at auction, now’s the time to change that. With high-quality, bank-approved stock, flexible finance options, and a welcoming environment, Aucor Bloemfontein delivers real value—and maybe even your next vehicle.

Ferrari Dreams, Financed.

 A Rare 458 Spider Hits the Auction Block – And You Don’t Need Cash to Own It.

The Ferrari 458 Spider has long held the keys to the hearts of collectors, enthusiasts, and speed-dreamers alike. With its sculpted lines, naturally aspirated V8 engine, and a sound that stirs the soul, the Spider is one of those rare machines that looks just as exhilarating as it feels behind the wheel.

But here’s the catch: most of these headline-making cars at auction have traditionally belonged to the cash buyers’ club — until now.

A Bit of 458 Spider History: More Than a Convertible

Unveiled in 2011, the Ferrari 458 Spider wasn’t just a drop-top version of the already legendary 458 Italia — it was the first mid-engined Ferrari with a retractable hardtop, offering both the performance of a coupe and the freedom of a spider.

Its 4.5L V8 engine produces 562 hp, revving up to an astonishing 9,000 RPM — a naturally aspirated masterpiece before Ferrari moved into turbocharged territory.

With fewer and fewer naturally aspirated Ferraris being produced, the 458 Spider has already been hailed by many enthusiasts as a “future classic” — and this makes owning one today not just thrilling, but an increasingly smart investment.

Think That Used Car Is Yours? The Bank Might Disagree…

In a recent TopAuto article, a Johannesburg man faced the shocking repossession of his Maserati due to a fraudulent change of ownership by a previous owner. Despite purchasing the vehicle from a dealer and conducting due diligence, he discovered that the car's clearance letter had been forged, leading the bank to reclaim the vehicle and demand an outstanding balance of R4 million.

This incident underscores the importance of purchasing vehicles through legitimate and transparent channels. Buying from private sellers or unverified dealers can expose you to significant risks, including repossession due to undisclosed financial obligations.

Why Choose Verified Bank Auctions?

• Transparency: Bank auctions provide clear ownership histories and settlement statuses, ensuring you're not inheriting someone else's debt.

• Legitimacy: Vehicles sold through bank auctions have been repossessed due to genuine defaults, not fraudulent activities.

• Peace of Mind: Purchasing through official channels reduces the risk of future legal complications or unexpected repossessions.
