Buying a peugeot

We are looking to buy a peugeot 307 estate 1.4 tdi lx with ac
We nearly bought one earlier today but unfortunatley the car was pulled from ebay auction before we had chance to bid on it .
Very happy to buy from auction as i did it once before about 15 years ago.
This time i know exactly what car we want but does anyone know how I search the car auctions to find out when one of these cars is going under the hammer
Thanks

    Each auction place should have a listing of what is coming up.

    I use an auction place in Leeds, https://www.motorauctions.co.uk.

    They are very friendly to private buyers and the website is good.

    Others in Leeds like Manheim seem to be mostly for trade and logons etc are needed for the website.

    Saying that not all cars where I go are listed on the site especially in the sub £2000 catagory.

    I'd recommend a visit or 2 before you want to buy at your chosen place to just make sure you know what the score is.

    I try to change every 6 months and go up a few times before bidding just to make sure nothing has changed e.g running order of cars - the ones outside usually come through 1st before it gets busy - best bargains to be had sometimes but other times all the rubbish is parked outside.

    I Wouldnt Buy A 3.7.

    They Are The Worst Of A Bad Bunch Of Unreliable Peugeots.

    You Cant Understand How Many Faults This Car Has.

    Seriously, Do Your Homework If Buying A Used One.

    It Will Be Spending Alot Of Its Time Off The Road.
