Agency Agreement

Every vehicle presented for auction requires an agency agreement to be completed and signed by the vendor. Should you have a person/agent acting on your behalf, then a written authority must be supplied along with all title information.

Insurance

Insurance is the responsibility of the vendor (You the seller) and remain at the risk of the vendor as to any loss or damage suffered.

Registration Plates

If your vehicle has personalised number plates attached that you wish to retain, simply follow these steps:

• Visit your local SA Transport office and place your personalised vehicle registration on hold for up to 5 years.
• Request that replacement plates be issued. You will be supplied with replacement plates and registration papers.
• Please check the registration papers to make sure it states the correct registration expiry date.
• If the plate exchange is not completed prior to the auction, it is usually too difficult to arrange after the vehicle has been sold.
• The responsibility for these transactions are entirely with the vendor of the vehicle, not Pickles Auctions staff.

Title (proof of purchase)

It is mandatory for you to prove you are the owner of the vehicle.

Registration papers are not sufficient and do not substitute for title information. Confirming title is checking the history of the vehicle to satisfy our requirements of representing the vehicle in an ethical manner.

If your vehicle was purchased privately, the following requirements apply:

• A receipt with all relevant details of the purchase.
• Name, address and telephone numbers of the seller and purchase date.
• If your vehicle was purchased from a motor dealer or auction house (excluding damaged vehicles) a copy of the original invoice must also be supplied.
• Any vehicle that has been previously accident damaged or is on the WOVR (Written Off Vehicle Register) then it will not be accepted for sale. Failure to disclose this information by the vendor will incur any costs associated with the administration and handling of the vehicle (Approx $60 Inc) and will void any sale if discovered after a sale. All fees will need to be paid prior to the vehicle being released back to the vendor.

Finance Payouts

If you have current finance on your vehicle, you must complete an authority form to enable our staff to make all necessary enquiries regarding finalisation of the account. Payment will be deducted from the proceeds of sale and forwarded directly to the finance company on your behalf. Should there be a shortfall of payment you must consult with our trust account staff to arrange payment. The shortfall will be calculated on an estimate of auction value less costs and charges and is payable in cleared funds prior to the auction.
