A home in Merrylands, in Sydney’s west, was listed for auction with a free Alfa Romeo 4C sports car. The car is worth around $100,000, news.com.au reported. But there is a catch. The buyer only gets the car if the bidding reaches the seller’s reserve price.
Key Facts
- Address: 19 Brian Street, Merrylands.
- Home: Six bedrooms and four bathrooms, double storey.
- Car: Alfa Romeo 4C, about 32,000km on the odometer.
- Auction date: 23 May 2026.
- Agent: Alexander Sallit, Ray White Parramatta.
- The catch: The car comes with the house only if the reserve price is met.
Why Add a Car?
Agent Alexander Sallit said the owners wanted the car to be a “cherry on top”. He said: “This is only one of approximately 300 Alfa 4Cs that ever made it to Australia.” He added that the house and car would be handed over “in accordance with the Contract for Sale”.
Not the Only One
Another Sydney seller had a similar idea. A three-bedroom home at 8 Reef Street, Quakers Hill, was offered with a brand-new MG4 electric car. Again, the car was only included if the home reached its reserve. Seller Damian Russell said he wanted to help a first home buyer.
What Is a Reserve Price?
A reserve price is the lowest price the seller will accept at auction. If bidding does not reach it, the home does not have to be sold.
