ABSA’s Upcoming Gqeberha Auction Might Just Change the Way You Think About Buying a Vehicle
By Auction Finance Insider
In a world where dealerships push balloon payments and private sellers disappear with your deposit, there’s something surprisingly refreshing , even thrilling about buying a car at auction.
And not just any auction.
This Thursday, 17 July, ABSA Bank is hosting a genuine bank repossessed vehicle auction in Gqeberha (PE), offering a line-up that would make even the savviest car buyer raise an eyebrow. Over 150 vehicles — from late-model hatchbacks to nearly-new bakkies, will be available online, live via webcast, and it’s the kind of event that rewards those who know how to spot value where others only see risk.
But is buying at auction risky? Or is it just misunderstood?
What the Dealerships Don’t Want You to Know
The vehicles going under the hammer aren’t lemons or leftovers. They’re repossessed, yes — but often for reasons that have nothing to do with mechanical faults. In fact, a quick glance at the catalogue reveals some eye-watering gems:
-
2022 VW Polo TSI Life – just 6,122km
-
2023 Renault Kiger – under 33,000km
-
2024 VW Polo Vivo – only 11,242km (barely out of its plastic!)
-
2022 Ford Ranger Wildtrak Bi-Turbo – prime bakkie, low mileage
-
Peugeot, Nissan, Kia, Toyota, Isuzu — all 2020+ models, many with mileage under 50,000km
Forget the cliché of auctions being the last resort for desperate buyers. This is a smart buyer’s playground — especially for those who come prepared.
The Secret Weapon: Pre-Approved Auction Finance
Let’s be honest: cash buyers are rare these days. And waiting for a bank to process your loan after the hammer drops? That’s a guaranteed way to lose your bid.
That’s why pre-approved finance has become the new norm for serious auction-goers.
The Human Side of the Hammer
There’s something strangely beautiful about watching a vehicle roll across a digital auction block. It’s not just a transaction; it’s a second chance. For the car. For the buyer. And sometimes, for the seller too.
In Gqeberha, that story plays out not just in front of a screen, but at 142 Burman Road, Deal Party — where you can view the vehicles in person on Tuesday 15 and Wednesday 16 July, from 09:00 to 15:00.
Come prepared. Come curious. And come knowing that ABSA’s auction platform is one of the most trusted in the game.
