I don't think this is a good idea. If these 'hoons' are either there, or see their vehicles on the road with another user, most likely they will either trash the car or try and steal it back. My 2c

Is there a link between hoons & car theft/vandalism i'm not aware of?
sounds like a new story for ACA!

I never said that. By I know for a fact in the area i'm in, that this HAS happened. ANd yes, ACA is a load, I think we all know that.
Alls i'm saying is, someone may think they are getting a fairly decent car. But what about all the gremlins that go with it

I am by no means saying not to do it. If they havw done something wrong, they deserve it to happen. I fully agree with that

[The Yeti]

is there a list of vehicles?

[GasoLane]

In other words if you want to buy a car that was previously owned by an idiot and my have had the bag thrashed out if it that's the place to go ?

I think its a good idea.

If you can't play nice and lose it you deserve to see another owner in it.

First thing I would do is change central locking (if applicable) and change the ignition barrel.

[Smoke Pursuit]

They come unregistered I think so you would have new rego plates.

Its a shame they dont give a listing of the vehicles, they are all probably trash heap rice burners anyway.

And there would have to be some VN's in that lot of 28. Where's Riksta?

No matter what time you get there, it will be too late now that I've been alerted to the fact of potential VNs.

VNs are Horn.

Not all VN Commodore fans are three-tooth bogans called "Dazza", stereotypical of areas such as Hackham West and Elizabeth (Pronounced: Lizbef).

This line could mean that there will be no cars up for auction!

What happens if the vehicle is actually owned by a lease or finance company?

The same as what happens when your car gets repossessed.
Whatever the sale price at auction is goes to the financier, any short fall has to be repaid by the person who took the loan out.
Vehicles sold by an LMCT (auction house) are essentially "clean" for the next owner, meaning the vehicle cant be repossessed from th enew owner if the previous owner doesnt finish paying his loan.

All this would have been dealt with buy the courts.

that's a good question.

I guess the owner (as in the one using the asset) is still obliged to make the payments, but in the event they stop, what happens then?

Ha Ha for the comments about VNs and rice burners

Would love to see a photo of the lot, to see if it is as funny as we all have it pictured in our minds

As I said before the courts would have sorted this issue out before the car is sent to auction.

A car under finance cannot be legally sold without the finance being paid out first.

[RedHotGT]

So - does this mean that these 'auctioned' cars get a clear bill of health with Authorities? As in - they've had their 3 strikes/out with the previous owner - though they will be known to the police.

And also - is there anything stopping the previous owner from buying the car back from the Police Auction?

Therefore - the same hoon has the same car again - just with a substantially lighter wallet?

[GTP owner]

As stated before - who really wants to buy a car that has been thrashed? Last auction for hoon cars I heard about they lost money because the cars were pieces of junk and the auction fees were more than what they actually got for them. That makes the whole exercise a huge fail to me

[Iggypoppin']

Will $1000 buy the whole lot? Could open a wrecking yard with all those commodores

[neptune blue]

its all about revenue
they wont get as much money if they are sold as scrap

No doubt. I guess I was wondering WHAT happens not who does it.

To use a metaphor:

"Dad, how does the microwave heat food"

"well son, it's quite simple. You put the food in and then pull it out hot"

if you have a shrewd eye, and know what goodies are on the car you'd snap a bargain.... some will be super cheap specials on the lot driven by turtle heads but there also could be some real hipo machinery that is worth more than the car the parts live in...
