JumboBeef:
Has anyone here ever been to a car auction?  I'm going to one tomorrow, which sells 4x4s, just for a look....but if I do want to buy, what/how should I do it and what should I watch out for?

Thanks.

stuntman:
I would say, never buy at your first auction, and find out the fees at the reception, taxes and buyers premiums etc, if you need to register.

Don't be afraid to crwal all over the car inside and out when it is in line to go under the hammer.

Ive been going to the Auctions regularly for the last 12 yrs , it s a minefield......BUT ..like everyone else .... you pay you re money ....and take the chance..

thermidorthelobster:
If it's 4x4 I'll hazard a guess that you mean the Leominster auctions.

I've gone along to a couple of auctions as a spectator.  It struck me that a lot of stuff was going for more than you could buy it for in Autotrader.  I didn't see any bargains;  plus of course you have the risk that you'll buy a crock.

That said, I know other people who have seemingly got themselves some good deals, although more regular cars than 4x4s.

Good luck!

strapping young lad:
how hard/easy is it to sell at an auction?

what do you have to do?
