Super Saturday Public Auction Program

• Manheim Sydney is launching a new weekly ‘Super Saturday’ Public Auction

• Commencing at 10am on Saturday March 25

• Most cars on offer priced from $5,000 to $10,000

• Supported with a ‘Buy Back Guarantee’ which allows buyers to return cars they purchase within five days of the sale

• Super Saturday auctions will be held each and every week

• Ideal for first time car buyers and those on a budget

On Saturday March 25, Manheim Sydney will be holding their first ever ‘Super Saturday’ Public Auction. With public auctions already held on a Tuesday each week, this new auction program will make buying a car from Manheim even easier.

Launched in Melbourne at the beginning of 2016, the Super Saturday auctions have been a fantastic success with almost 600 people attending every week. With the success of the Super Saturday Auction in Melbourne it was only a matter of time before Manheim offered Sydney vehicle buyers with the same opportunity.

Manheim’s Director of Marketing, Justin Hodgson, explains, “We know that more and more savvy car buyers are coming to auctions as a smart way to buy their next car. We also know that not everyone can attend a mid-week auction so by holding a Saturday auction we are making it as easy as possible for smart shoppers to attend an auction. The format has been a great success in Melbourne so we felt it was time to launch ‘Super Saturday’ in the Sydney market.”

Commencing at 10am, Manheim’s Super Saturday Public Auctions are ideal for first time car buyers and those on a budget. The auction will feature a wide range of makes and models, to suit a budget range between $5,000 and $10,000.

Justin continued, “We also know that some buyers are cautious about buying at auction as it can be a unique experience. To address these concerns we have introduced a ‘Buy Back Guarantee’ offer, especially for our Saturday auctions. You can buy a vehicle with the security of our Buy Back Guarantee, which is available for only $150. You can now confidently bid in the lane or online knowing that if you simply change your mind, you can return the vehicles within 5 days. We’ll buy it back from you - no problem.”

All vehicles in the auction program will be listed on Manheim’s website (manheim.com.au), with detailed information, condition reports, photographs and online-catalogues available for viewing.  Vehicles can also be viewed onsite at Manheim on Friday and on Saturday before the auction commences. Finance and Insurance is also available onsite.

“Manheim are offering car buyers an extra opportunity to find their next car at our Super Saturday auction program. With many cars to choose from, combined with the comfort of our unique Buy Back Guarantee, we are confident they will grow form strength to strength.”
