There is a classic auction in MERLIN CAR AUCTIONS on the 28 of this month. Most of the stuff is dirt but its worth a look.

How do ya check the listings for the classic auction!!!

lomb

There is no listing, buy a catologue a few days b4, the vast majority of the cars are ropey junk, avoid.
when u think about it, u are never really going to buy a classic aka possible money pit at an auction, u will buy it private treaty with a full inspection, something thats impossible at an auction.
but it is a way of disposing of rustbuckets.........

anyway will be a very enjoyable day, as there are numerous cars and models there, and u can sit in them all.

great place to pick up cheap doner cars,use what u need,sell the rest off on ebay,its not a total waste of time.so im told

green-blood

exactly - parts cars!!

lomb

wel it will be expensive parts then, as they dont go cheap, there may be a lot of dodgy shenagins there to ramp up the price or so im told

Just a quick correction to Knife's post - the site says the classic auction is on the 26th...

That's a Saturday - sounds like a good afternoon out if you leave the chequebook at home...

yeah... I'm gonna spend 20 grand on a 8 year old nissan sunny classic, all car auctions are a mine field for the private buyer, that 500quid saved on the book price just is not worth it

camarobill

500 quid thats more than ul need to get ur new purchase towed home :eek:

Ive said it before and will say it again

The only car to but at an auction is a finance repo they may have the extra 5% fee but your getting a nice minded car.(mostly)
