Karachi, May 23, 2025 – The Collectorate of Customs (Enforcement), Gadani, has announced a significant auction of confiscated vehicles scheduled for May 29, 2025.
This large-scale Customs event will see nearly 85 vehicles presented for public bidding under the legal provisions of the Customs Act, 1969.
This highly anticipated auction includes a wide array of old and used vehicles, ranging from luxury sedans and hybrid cars to SUVs and utility trucks. Many of the seized units are in non-operational condition, with several missing vital components such as hybrid batteries, seats, electric systems, or even engines.
Among the notable listings are multiple Toyota models including Lexus, Prado, Crown Hybrid, Aqua, Prius, and Land Cruiser variants. Highlights include:
• A Toyota Lexus (Model 2007), with a rusted body, missing engine and major parts.
• Several Toyota Crown Hybrid cars from model years 2009 to 2019, many lacking batteries and electric components.
• A Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (Model 2015) in relatively better shape.
• Honda Civic (Model 2012) and Toyota Corolla Hybrid (Model 2018) also feature on the list but are severely damaged or rusted.
The Customs department has clearly indicated that most of the listed vehicles are “not roadworthy” due to extensive wear, missing documentation, or structural issues. Nonetheless, these seized vehicles are expected to draw attention from spare parts dealers, scrap traders, and automotive restoration enthusiasts who may find value in individual components.
This Customs auction is part of an ongoing drive to dispose of confiscated assets in compliance with legal mandates, and to recover revenue for the national exchequer. Participants are advised to thoroughly inspect the vehicles prior to bidding, as all sales will be on an “as-is, where-is” basis.
Detailed descriptions, including chassis numbers, engine types, and condition notes, have been made available by the Collectorate for transparency. Prospective bidders must adhere to the official terms and conditions laid out under the Customs rules.
Interested individuals and dealers should mark their calendars for May 29, 2025, and contact the Collectorate of Customs (Enforcement), Gadani, for further information and bidding procedures.
