    Has anybody any opinions on or used this place? What sort of deals can you expect to get or are these car auctions over hyped

    Quality of cars at auction has improved a lot because there's too many around.

    If your buying attend about six auctions before you buy and bid low on stuff you don't want so the auctioneer won't bid you up "off the wall"when you really want something.

    if your buying newish repo it might even have warranty. Buyer beware but very exciting and clarify charges for different lanes/cars.

    If your selling .... good luck

    In todays market you might "WIN" the auction using that tactic ;)

    If you are buying, arrive early to check the cars out.

    in the past they have had lots of ex-gardai, ex-lease cars etc but with dealers/banks now putting cars throught the auctions the type of car sold here should be much improved
