hi, does anyone here go to car auctions, or in the motor trade please?

i bought my last car 4 years ago from an auction and have had no trouble with it. it was a company car with fsh.

time to change now and im thinking of a toyota auris 1.6 vvti, or 2.0 diesel?? looking at an 07/08 reg. or a golf tdi 04/05 reg.
what are they going for at auction please?

any other tips are appreciated.

if you go to the auction house website ie https://www.smag.co.uk (scotish motor auction) there is normally a past price option..

thanks but it looks like youve got to log on be a trader for past prices.

Allan, I used to go to auctions regularly, and have just started going again. I would take around £1500 off the dealer book price for the Auris, but watch the Golf, because they can go mad, depending on who is bidding for them. If it is largely a trade auction then things should be predictable, but once the general public start going in numbers, then things can get a bit hectic, because "bidding wars" will be the order of the day.
Get there early, or even pick up a catalogue the day before, and research the cars you are interested in. Be there when they are started up, and look underneath the bonnet, in the boot, and the dashboard for warning lights.

You have to add on commission to those prices. I dunno but at a guess I'd say about £450 you'll have to phone your local BCA to find out exactly.


Gotta say I don't like the new style auctionview...
