The Ultimate Guide to bidding on the MFC Bank Vehicle Auction | 18 September 2024 | Don’t Miss Your Chance to Bid!

Every Wednesday at 11:00 AM, car buyers have an exciting opportunity to save big at the MFC Bank Vehicle Auction. Taking place at their state-of-the-art showroom in Kempton Park, this auction is unlike any other in South Africa. Whether you attend in person or participate online, you're in for an exciting experience with significant savings on quality vehicles.

MFC Bank Repo Vehicle Auction


Why This Auction is Different

At this auction, all vehicles are bank repossessions, meaning no dealer or private stock—just cars directly from the bank. This provides you with transparency and confidence when bidding. Plus, each vehicle comes with a Dekra condition report, making MFC the only auction house in South Africa to offer such a service across all cars at their Auction Centre in Johannesburg.

The auction takes place in a drive-through facility, where vehicles are driven in front of bidders as they are auctioned, with comfortable seating for those attending live. Prefer to bid from home? No problem—online bidding is available, and it offers convenience without sacrificing the excitement of a live event. Online bidding also allows you to avoid travel, parking, and crowds while still getting your hands on great deals.

Market Insights and Savings

On average, cars at these auctions sell for around 75% of their trade value, meaning substantial savings for savvy buyers. With a wide selection of vehicles available, you’re bound to find something that suits your needs and budget.
