Sell your Collector, Performance or Muscle Car with Chicane.

Chicane Auctions is an Australian specialist auction house dedicated exclusively to performance, muscle, exotic, rare and classic vehicles.

We manage the complete sale of your car from start to finish.

After discussing your vehicle and agreeing on a reserve price, you can then deliver your car to our Showroom in Melbourne and we take care of everything else, including all marketing, customer inspections, paperwork and full payment into your bank account.

Sellers pay absolutely no fees or commission. If we accept your car for auction, there is no cost to you at all.

Only the buyer pays a 8.8% Buyer’s Premium - which is how we get paid for our work, meaning you retain 100% of the winning bid price.

Compared this with other auction houses and how much they charge — you will save thousands of dollars with us, particularly when selling the high-value collector vehicles in which we specialise in.

We simply put more back into the Sellers pocket, with proven best results.

If your car does not reach reserve price, there is still no cost. You simply collect your car from our showroom, cleaner than when you dropped it off.

Backed by decades of automotive knowledge and experience, we provide a fully licensed, premium auction service that gives Sellers complete confidence throughout the process while delivering proven results.
