    Anyone been down to any of them? Have around 2-3000 to spend on a car, looking for a nice diesel to get around in. Friend of mine got his car for a great price just wondering anyone else have experience with it? Thanks

    The way the auctions are now, there are too many private buyers paying too near retail for it to be worthwhile although I hear that its turning again alittle as all the hype on the news about the massive bargains has gone away.
    There is a strong possibility you would get burned in that you may buy a car with faults that were not obvious or just buy a general heap of crap.
