Title
VMA ensures the Vendor of each vehicle has good title and the proper authority to sell each vehicle sold at our auction. Some vehicles may have an Interest registered (encumbrance) on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) because some consignment vehicles may have finance owing and the finance company will not release their encumbrance on the car until they have been paid. Once you have paid for your car the funds are transferred to the finance company and the lien encumbrance will be lifted.
Title to a Lot auctioned shall remain with the Vendor until the full purchase price and all other sums payable in respect of the Lot are paid in full, all cheques cleared, and the Lot removed.
GST
All our auctions are conducted inclusive of GST. You may from time to time hear the auctioneer announce that ‘No Tax Invoice’ or ‘No GST’. This means that a vehicle has been consigned from a private owner or charity. If you are bidding on behalf of a business you will not be able to claim the GST on these vehicles.
