THE FINAL COUNTDOWN: ABSA’S LAST 8 NATIONAL BANK VEHICLE AUCTIONS OF 2025

And Why This Is the Best Time to Buy with Bank Finance

As 2025 draws to a close, ABSA is unleashing its final wave of genuine bank-repossessed vehicle auctions across South Africa  and for serious used-car buyers, this is where the real opportunities live.

These are not dealer forecourts.
These are direct-from-the-bank vehicles, passenger cars, bakkies, SUVs and commercial units; sold at true market-clearing prices.

Even better?
You can secure bank finance before you bid, putting you in a powerful position to buy with confidence.

December 2025 isn’t just the end of the year : it’s the grand finale of ABSA’s national auction calendar, ending with one massive, multi-province National Webcast Auction.

Let’s break down every remaining ABSA auction by date and region.

✅ Why Smart Buyers Pre-Approve Their Finance Before They Bid

Here’s the difference between casual bidders and serious buyers who win vehicles at bank auctions:

✔ You know exactly what you can afford
✔ You don’t panic bid
✔ You move faster than cash competitors
✔ You avoid deposit stress
✔ You secure better vehicles at better prices

With Auction Finance, your bank approval is handled before you raise your paddle.

🚦 Final Word: December Is Not for Hesitation

These are ABSA’s final auctions of 2025.
Once the National Auction on 11 December closes, that’s it for the year.

If you’re planning to:

• Replace your car

• Upgrade your bakkie

• Add a commercial unit

• Or secure a second vehicle for the family

December is your window.

Pre-approved finance is the advantage that separates buyers who watch… from buyers who drive.

ABSA Bank Vehicle Auction Returns to Boksburg – Over 200 Verified Vehicles Going Under the Hammer

As South Africa’s used-car market continues to evolve, one thing is clear — value is shifting back to where it all began: transparent, bank-verified auctions. And this November, buyers will have another chance to access genuine repossessed stock directly from the source at the ABSA Boksburg Repossessed Vehicle Online Auction, hosted by Tirhani Auctioneers.

When and Where

The auction opens Monday, 17 November 2025 at 11:00 and runs through to Tuesday, 18 November, with staggered lot closings from 11:00 (two lots per minute, plus one-minute auto-extend).
Buyers can view vehicles in person at the following Boksburg venues:

• 8 Top Road, Boksburg

• 13 Top Road, Boksburg

• 194 Main Road, Anderbolt, Boksburg

Viewing times:

• Monday: 08:00 – 16:00

• Tuesday: 08:00 – 10:00

Why Bank Auctions Are Back in Demand

In a market where used-car prices have surged over the past two years, more buyers are realising that bank-repossessed vehicles offer one of the few remaining paths to true market value. These cars come straight from ABSA’s portfolio — no middlemen, no inflated dealership mark-ups, and full disclosure on condition and documentation.

With demand for reliable, mid-segment hatchbacks and SUVs at a high, auctions like this are attracting everyone from small-business owners to first-time buyers looking to stretch their rand further. The chance to buy quality stock at transparent pricing has become the real “smart money” move.

Online, Efficient, and Transparent

The Tirhani online platform allows buyers to register, browse the catalogue, and bid remotely — giving them access to the same bank-verified vehicles without having to step into a showroom. Each vehicle is sold individually, and the bidding process is open, time-controlled, and traceable.

Finance Makes the Difference

If you’re planning to bid, make sure you’re pre-approved for auction finance before the sale starts. It means you can bid confidently — knowing your funding is ready to go the moment the hammer falls.

The Takeaway

You don’t need a “Black Friday sale” to find real automotive value. The real deals happen every week at South Africa’s major bank auctions — and this ABSA Boksburg event is one of the most anticipated of the season.

Stay tuned for the catalogue drop — it’s where the smart buyers will be looking first.

Massive G-Fleet Vehicle Auction: 430+ Units at Riley Auctions Africa, 17–18 Nov

 

Riley Auctions Africa Joins the Auction Finance Network — And Their Upcoming G-Fleet Sale Is One to Watch

There’s a quiet shift happening in South Africa’s used-vehicle market and it’s one that smart buyers, dealers, business owners, and private purchasers are paying close attention to. As traditional dealership prices continue to climb, more buyers are turning to reputable fleet, bank and government vehicle auctions to secure well-maintained, late-model vehicles at fair market value.

This is exactly where Riley Auctions Africa has carved out its reputation.

Now officially welcomed into the Auction Finance panel of trusted auctioneers nationwide, Riley Auctions Africa brings a refreshingly transparent and professionally-managed auction experience — matched with the type of vehicle stock that moves quickly in today’s market.

And the timing couldn't be better.

G-Fleet De-Fleet Timed Online Auction – Germiston

17 – 18 November 2025
Catalogue: https://www.riley.africa/live/index.php?sid=176

This upcoming sale is a standout for one simple reason: scale and choice.

With over 430 vehicles on offer, this isn’t a small clearance or mixed-bag liquidation. This is a structured, high-volume government fleet rotation, meaning buyers get access to vehicles that are:

• Properly maintained through scheduled service programs

• Driven in controlled fleet environments

• Typically lower in abuse, mileage, and undocumented history concerns

In short: These are the types of cars the public always wants, but rarely gets to buy directly.

---

A Fleet Filled With South Africa’s Most Wanted Vehicles

The catalogue reads like a list of South Africa’s top-selling and most reliable models. Expect to find:

Volkswagen Polo & Polo Vivo

Dozens of units ranging from 2016 to 2023.
South Africa’s best-selling passenger car — reliable, fuel-efficient, with unbeatable resale value.

Toyota Corolla / Quest / Starlet / Etios

Loved for low running costs, parts availability, and bulletproof reliability.
Ideal for everyday drivers, ride-share operators, and small businesses alike.

Nissan NP200

One of the most sought-after half-ton bakkies in the country.
Light on fuel, easy to maintain, and an absolute workhorse.

And that’s just the start.

---

Late-Model Cars — Without the New-Car Price Tag

What sets this auction apart is how recent much of the stock is.

There is a strong presence of 2021, 2022 and even 2023 registered vehicles — particularly:

• Toyota Starlet

• VW Polo

• Hyundai Grand i10

These are modern spec, modern safety, modern infotainment, just without the dealership premiums.

For many buyers, this is the opportunity to drive a nearly-new vehicle at a price point that would otherwise be out of reach.

---

Transparency You Can Actually Make Decisions With

Riley Auctions Africa uses a clear and honest condition reporting system that removes the guesswork:

• Starter / Non-Starter status

• Condition Grades: GOOD, FAIR, ACCIDENT DAMAGE

This matters.

Buyers know exactly whether they’re purchasing:

• A drive-away daily driver

• A repair-and-flip resale vehicle

• Or a mechanic’s project car

No surprises. No hidden narratives.

This level of transparency is one of the reasons we’re proud to have Riley Auctions Africa on our panel.

---

Opportunities for Every Buyer Profile

Buyer Type	Best Strategy
Daily Driver / Family Car Buyer	Look for GOOD, STARTER, 2020+ models with full condition grades.
Small Business Owner / Contractor	Target Nissan NP200, Toyota Hilux, Isuzu D-Max, and delivery-ready vans.
Dealers & Resellers	Watch the FAIR and NON-STARTER sections for strong margin potential.
Budget Buyers / Students	Explore older, lower reserve passenger cars for functional and affordable mobility.

This is an auction with real choice — not a gamble.

---

The Bottom Line

This G-Fleet De-Fleet auction is one of the strongest vehicle buying opportunities of the quarter.
Large volumes, late-model stock, transparent reporting, and now — accessible finance.

Riley Auctions Africa brings a level of professionalism and trust that aligns perfectly with what auction buyers need today.

For the smart buyer — this is the moment.

Your Next Car Could Be Here: MFC Bank Auction

South Africa’s used-car market has shifted. Consumers who once shopped for status are now shopping for sense. Rising interest rates, tighter household budgets, and the ongoing cost-of-living squeeze have reshaped buying behaviour. The focus today is on value: reliability, fuel efficiency, sensible mileage, and purchase prices that don’t demand financial gymnastics.

This is where the auction floor comes into its own. What was once viewed as a space for traders and industry insiders has now become a smart entry point for everyday buyers who want more car for their money. It is a place where real-world budgets meet real opportunity.

The MFC Bank Vehicle Auction – 5 November

MFC’s bank auction is appealing for one core reason: transparency. The stock is bank-owned, the condition reports are available, the process is standardised, and prices are determined live in the room by supply and demand. No inflated showroom premiums, no emotional retailer markup.

This auction features 137 vehicles, with the strongest availability in the segments where demand is highest. Hatchbacks make up the largest share of the lineup. These are practical, efficient vehicles that have become the sensible choice for many buyers. SUVs and station wagons continue to hold value for families who need space without stretching their budgets too far. Commercial vehicles, pickups and minibuses are well-represented too, supporting small business owners and fleet needs.

Importantly, it’s not only older high-mileage stock. Some standouts include:

2025 Toyota Quantum Sesfikile with under 16,000 km
2025 VW Polo 1.0 TSI R-Line DSG with just over 10,000 km
2024 Kia Sonet, Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, Hyundai i20 and other high-demand compact crossovers
2023 Ford Ranger V6 Wildtrak A/T, which continues to command strong retail demand
2023 Toyota Fortuner, Hyundai Tucson and other popular family SUVs

These are vehicles that, once they arrive on a dealer floor, often carry additional margin. The opportunity here is to secure the same models earlier in the cycle.

Why Finance Readiness Matters

Buyers who arrive at the auction with finance already approved have a clear advantage. Pre-approval removes hesitation, prevents emotional overspending, and allows you to move confidently when the bidding starts. The R5,000 registration deposit applies to all bidders, except those who have already secured pre-approval through Auction Finance.

In a market where desirable vehicles move quickly, speed and certainty are just as important as price.

If you are planning to attend, taking care of your finance beforehand places you in the strongest position to act decisively when the vehicle you want appears.

7 practical ways to lift your credit score

What’s a credit score?
It’s a number that shows how well you pay your accounts.
Higher score = easier approvals and better offers.

1) Pay on time

This is the biggest thing.
Set reminders or debit orders so you don’t miss a payment—even by one day.

2) Owe less on your card/overdraft

If your card limit is R10 000 and you owe R9 000, your score drops.
Try to keep the balance well below the limit. Pay in extra when you can.

3) Don’t apply for lots of credit at once

Every time you apply, it leaves a mark for a while.
Only apply when you really need to.

4) Keep good old accounts open

An older account that you manage well helps your score.
Close it only if the fees are too high or it tempts you to overspend.

5) Fix problems early

If money is tight, phone the credit provider before you skip a payment.
Ask for a payment plan—better than going into arrears.

6) Check your report

Get your free credit report each year.
If you see mistakes, ask the bureau to correct them.

7) Keep your bank statement clean

Banks look at this.
Avoid unpaid debits, lots of cash withdrawals at month-end, and bouncing stop orders.

---

How long does it take?

If you pay on time and owe less, you can see small improvements in 1–6 months.
Keep going—consistency wins.

---

Want us to check where you stand?

We can do a friendly pre-check and tell you what documents you’ll need, no pressure.

Refinance 101: How It Works—And How It Can Help You Right Now

Refinancing lets you restructure an existing vehicle/asset loan (to ease your monthly instalment) or use a paid-up asset to unlock cash,without selling it. Below is a plain-English guide to when it makes sense, how it works, and what to expect.

---

What is refinancing?

• Reduce my instalment: Replace your current loan with a new one (often at a sharper rate and/or a longer term).

• Unlock value from a paid-up asset: Use a fully paid vehicle or selected asset as security and receive a cash-out paid to you.

You keep the asset; you just change the finance behind it.

---

When it helps

• You want breathing room in your monthly budget.

• You prefer predictable payments (and to keep your savings intact).

• You own a paid-up vehicle/asset and want to access cash without selling.

Compliance note: deals are credit-profile and asset dependent. We’ll confirm eligibility, LTV (loan-to-value) and costs for your exact case. Finance subject to credit approval.

---

The process (fast & simple)

1. Quick pre-assessment – Share basic details about you and the asset.

2. Pre-approval – We confirm indicative terms (rate/term/estimated instalment).

3. Valuation / documents – We validate asset value and complete KYC/affordability.

4. Final approval & contracts – Sign digitally or in branch (as required).

5. Payout / settlement – We settle your old loan or pay out your cash; you keep the asset.

Docs you’ll likely need: SA ID & driver’s licence, latest payslips, 3 months bank statements (6 for self-employed), proof of address, and basic asset docs (NaTIS/logbook, settlement letter if applicable).

---

What can I refinance?

• Vehicles: cars, bakkies, vans, selected commercial units.

• Selected assets: (case-dependent) trucks, trailers, yellow metal/plant, some equipment.

We’ll tell you quickly what’s eligible and on what terms.

---

FAQs (short & useful)

Do I need a deposit? Not usually.
Do I keep my car/asset? Yes.
Is comprehensive insurance required? Typically yes.
Can you settle my current bank and handle NaTIS? Yes—standard process.
How fast is this? Often within 24–72 hours once all docs/valuation are in.

Tell us whether you want lower monthly payments or to unlock value from a paid-up asset—we’ll map the best route, fast.

“Yes, You Can.” A Woman’s Guide to Buying Your Next Car at Auction — With Confidence

Buying a car on auction can feel mysterious from the outside. In reality, it’s one of the most transparent and value-rich ways to shop, especially now that prices have stabilised and finance has become more accessible. This guide is written to ease the nerves, answer the questions women ask us most, and show how our team walks with you from first enquiry to keys-in-hand.

Why Auctions Belong on Your Shortlist

• Better value, more choice: Bank and fleet auctions regularly offer late-model, low-kilometre cars alongside budget runabouts.

• No pressure forecourt: You browse a published catalogue, set your ceiling, and bid on your terms, on-site or via webcast.

• Finance that protects your cash: Keep your savings for a rainy day and use predictable monthly repayments.

We’re not only finance specialists, we’re auction specialists. We understand the unique rules, fees, and timelines at the major houses we work with and translate all of that into plain English for you.

Myths vs Facts (Quick Reality Check)

“Auctions are for dealers only.”
Fact: Private buyers bid every week. We get you registered correctly and comfortably.

“You can’t check the car.”
Fact: You can inspect during viewing. We’ll show you what to look for and when to walk away.

“It’s too fast and stressful.”
Fact: With a plan, a max bid, and pre-approval, it’s calm and surprisingly enjoyable.

The Confidence Blueprint (Simple & Transparent)

1) Stay in the loop (WhatsApp updates)
Join our auction alerts group for weekly updates. Browse by region or bank and open the official auctioneer catalogues from there. Vehicle details come directly from the auctioneers.
👉 https://chat.whatsapp.com/CfBcVxuhIYq6l0bDEhgojN

2) Get pre-approved (quick win)
Pre-approval sets a clear budget, keeps emotions in check, and can help with smoother registration. At some bank auctions, pre-approved clients don’t pay the standard registration deposit (we’ll confirm where this applies).

3) Viewing & info (remote-friendly)
We typically work remotely. Use the auctioneer’s photos, disclosures, and condition notes to evaluate stock; some houses also provide independent reports (e.g., DEKRA). If anything feels off, skip that lot—there’s always another.

4) Bid with a plan
We’ll help you set a maximum all-in number (vehicle price + fees + a buffer for minor fixes) and stick to it. Auctions move fast; your ceiling keeps things calm.

5) After the hammer
If you win, we guide payment timelines, paperwork, NaTIS/registration, and roadworthy so you know exactly what happens next and when to collect.

(We’re here to start the conversation and guide you through—message us on (082) 829 7564. Apply or learn more: www.auctionfinance.co.za | Auth. FSP.34936)

What to Expect on the Viewing Day (and What to Bring)

• Your documents: SA ID & driver’s licence and proof of residence (for auction registration) — here we will advise depending on how you’re going to register and for which auctioneer.

• Finance docs (if not already submitted): Copy of South African Identity Book/Identity Card

  Copy of Valid South African Driver's License Card Last 3 Months’ Payslips OR Latest Payslip AND Last 3 Months’ Bank Stamped Statements Proof of Residential Address (Not older than 3 months)

• Shoes & sense: Comfortable shoes, phone fully charged, and your checklist.

• A buddy: Bring a friend if you like, two sets of eyes help.

Green Flags vs Red Flags (Fast Filters)

Green flags: Full/traceable service history, consistent panel gaps, even tyre wear, clean idle and shifts, working electrics, honest condition notes.
Red flags: Overspray or mismatched paint, warning lights, rough idle, uneven tyre wear, damp carpets/odours (leaks), missing keys or paperwork.
If in doubt, we pass. Your best deal is the right car, not the quickest win.

The Auction House Difference (and Why We Help)

Each auction house has its own flavour, registration steps, fee structures, reserve rules, payment cut-offs, and release procedures. You shouldn’t have to learn all of that from scratch. We already know it, and we’ll guide you through the exact process at the house running the sale you’re interested in.

Safety & Comfort for First-Timers

• Prefer webcast? Most auctioneers offer webcast bidding, so you can bid from home or work, no extra time off needed. Check the catalogue/listing for the webcast link and registration steps.

• Going in person? Not all sales are live/in-room. Where applicable, we’re at most viewings (±99%) and can assist on-site; if we’re not there on the day, we’ll give you a quick run-through of what to expect so you feel prepared.

• No question is “silly.” We explain everything before it happens, so you always feel one step ahead.

A Mini Budgeting Cheat-Sheet

• Ceiling price: What you’ll bid up to (before fees).

• All-in estimate: Ceiling + buyer’s fee + expected small fixes (tyres/fluids/keys).

• Monthly affordability: Your pre-approval shows the instalment so you don’t overextend.

Why Finance Can Be Smarter Than Cash (Right Now)

Financing your auction buy keeps your emergency fund intact and spreads the cost over time—without stopping you from getting the spec you really want. If rates move, we’ll talk through options and terms so you stay comfortable.

Your Next Step (and It’s Easy)

We’d love to guide you through your first (or next) auction—step by step, at your pace.
