Advice for buying at Car Auctions

Anyone got any tips for buying at auction.
I'm looking for either E-Class Merc, BWM 3 Tourer or 5 Series saloon. Around 3 years old. Definately Diesel which really limits the choice. Never bought at auction before but take the view that if their is a full manufacturers service history it shouldn't throw in any nasty surprises.
Any opinions????

I am a fee charging WoM Mortgage broker.
I now no longer give information and opinion within the Mortgage boards, because a number of posters who, having approached me professionally, agreed my fee-which has been been made very clear at the outset, taken my advice (normally cancelling a [home visit] meeting at short notice) have then approached one of the fee-free brokers on here to arrange the very same deal I have advised.
Whilst I totally concur with the ethos of "money saving"- abusing the goodwill of a professional who provides a quality service is taking it too far! :mad:

https://www.honestjohn.co.uk ALL things motoring - you'll see his Auction advice page, there.Also a link in their as AuctionView - this lets you search specific vehicles, within the auctions countrywide - costs, but will save some journeys & petrol!!
My input would be...go to the larger auction groups & check for vehicles within their fleet direct 'branded' sections.
That way you'll be buying from the actual owners - not a trader who has already had the 'profit' element - or worse, found he's come unstuck & bought a dud!!

PS I've private messaged you too!!0
