'BCA Auction View' versus 'Manheim Hammer Time'

vansboy

Not sure if ALL the information, available to BCA/Manheim account customers, is actually displayed, when general public buy their searches.

Things like average ACTUAL selling prices, achieved, on both sites.

An appraisal, fairly detailed, is often on the vehicles details, in Manheim, too.

If it doesn't, might be worth getting an acount holding Moneysaver, to double check for you.

& you probably wouldn't anyway, but I'd not recommend the buying on line facility - I simply wouldn't purchase a vehicle, without seeing it in the metal!!

Not Available Live Online Sale

Thought that might be the result - as you do need to be a recognised trader, to obtain Glass's & CAP guides (in theory) & pay them a subscription.

It'd mean breaches of copyrite & other legal wrangles, if this information was made 'open'.

Not that the guides have any REAL indication, as to vehicle values, the way the market is currently!!

I know! Thinking of the V8 (REALLY get the tree huggers excited!) - heard that a 07 v8 SE spec with 10k went for £13k the other day (unsold though) - thats £5k behind book for a car that was £47k new less than 2 years ago!!!!! :eek:

Could you be kind enough to have a look at BCA (Bedford or south east) and look for Mini Cooper 1.6 prefer 1 year old (57). Mini garage selling these for around £11.5K. Too much for me at the mo.

Many thanks
