Car auctions around Manchester

Hello,

Can anyone recommend any car auction centres in or around the Manchester area?  If not, can anyone recommend any online car auctions?

    If your a private buyer then the fees may outweigh any potential savings.  You may not be able to
    attend all the auctions also.

    I used to goto the auctions but dealers often offer the cars for less these days.

    BCA, Belle Vue, Manchester. Just off Hyde road, to the south east of the city centre.

    Most of the big named car auction houses don't allow the public in anymore.

    BCA are owned by Constellation Automotive Group, who also own Cinch, so obviously flog used cars through that arm. Which means no open auctions.

    I still think Manheim do open auctions every now and then, though most are closed auctions (dealers only)
    There's a Manheim in Trafford Park but you'd need to check which are open to the public.

    A bit further out there's Ellesmere Port motor auctions near Cheshire Oaks who allow public in.
