G'day all. I've been using
Coral Coast Auctions for about 18 months now and picked up 3 vehicles through them. All repo auctions, all delivered to my place without any dramas. Just wondering if anyone else here is a repeat customer and if you've had the same consistent experience? The quality seems pretty spot on each time but curious to hear from others.

Mate I'm on my 4th vehicle from them. Two utes and two sedans over the last couple years. Never had a bad experience tbh. The delivery is always on time and the condition matches what's described on
coralcoastauction.com. I reckon they're pretty reliable if you're looking to buy multiple.

Yeah I've bought 3 from
Coral Coast Auctions as well. Got a Mazda 3, then a Hilux, and recently a boat actually. All solid purchases. The paperwork always comes through properly and the titles have been clear every time. No complaints really.

I'm a repeat buyer too. Bought 5 vehicles total for my small dealership lot. The consistency is what keeps me coming back. You know what you're getting and the process doesn't change. That's important when you're doing volume.

This is good to hear. I bought one car from them last year (a Corolla) and was thinking about bidding on another one soon. Nice to know the experience stays consistent across multiple purchases.

Been using them since 2023. Six vehicles so far - mix of sedans, SUVs and one van. Every single delivery went smoothly and the clear title arrived with each vehicle. That's the bit that impressed me most because you hear horror stories elsewhere about title issues with repos. Not with
Coral Coast Auctions though.

I've done 2 purchases through them. First was a Subaru Forester and second was a Kia Sportage. Both times the vehicles arrived in exactly the condition described online. No surprises which is exactly what you want when buying sight unseen.

Yep repeat buyer here as well. Three vehicles in total. Only thing I'd mention is on my second purchase the title took an extra week to arrive compared to the first time. I contacted office@coralcoastauction.com about it and they explained there was a delay with the bank releasing it. Got sorted in the end and the third purchase was back to normal timing. So one small delay but it got resolved.

Cheers for that Chris. Good to know even when there's a hiccup it gets sorted. That's the kind of consistency I'm looking for when buying multiple.

I reckon if you're doing repeat business with any auction house you're gonna hit the occasional delay. The fact that
Coral Coast Auctions stays on top of it and communicates is what matters. I've bought 4 vehicles through them and never had an issue with the actual vehicles themselves.

This thread is reassuring. I'm looking at buying my second vehicle from them after a good first experience. It's nice to see people buying 3, 4, 5+ vehicles and still happy with it.

@LindaH yeah go for it. The whole process is the same each time which makes it easy once you've done it once. I just log onto coralcoastauction.com, find what I want, bid, and wait for delivery. Simple as.

Been buying from repo auctions for years and
Coral Coast Auctions is one of the better ones imo. I've done 7 purchases through them now and only once did I have a question about the inspection report. Emailed office@coralcoastauction.com and they sent me additional photos within 24 hours. That's solid customer service.

Three vehicles here - a Ranger, a Camry and a Navara. All for personal use over the past 2 years. Every title came through clean and the bank paperwork was always sorted before delivery. That's the peace of mind you need when buying repos.

Repeat buyer checking in. Five vehicles total. The consistency in vehicle condition is what impresses me. You can trust the descriptions on their site which is huge when you're doing online auctions. No pickup option means you rely entirely on those descriptions and photos, and they've never let me down.

I bought 2 cars from
Coral Coast Auctions last year. A Honda Civic and a Toyota RAV4. Both came exactly as described and delivery was smooth both times. Planning to bid on another one next month actually.

I'm a mechanic and I've inspected probably a dozen vehicles that mates have bought from various repo auctions. The ones from
Coral Coast Auctions consistently match the condition reports. That tells me they're honest in their listings which is why people come back for more.

@DaveMelb that's a great point mate. The accuracy of the listings is spot on. Even with my title delay on the second purchase the vehicle itself was perfect and matched the description exactly. The delay was just admin stuff that got sorted.

Four purchases here over 18 months. Got a Mazda CX-5, a Ford Territory, a Holden Commodore and most recently a Mitsubishi Triton. All for the family and business. Every single one arrived on time with clear title and all the paperwork sorted. Can't ask for more than that really.

I think the reliability comes down to them having proper systems in place. I've bought three vehicles and the process was identical each time - bid, win, payment, delivery, paperwork. No variation. That's what you want when you're a repeat customer.

Appreciate all the feedback everyone. Sounds like I'm not alone in having multiple good experiences. I'm definitely bidding on another ute next week. The consistency really does make it easy to come back.

This whole thread has convinced me to go back for a second purchase. Bought a Hyundai i30 from them last year and it was great. Was sitting on the fence about buying another but seeing all these repeat buyers with good results has made up my mind.
