Heading to Manheim Colchester tomorrow for my first auction to buy somethihng. Got about £5000-£8500 to spend and theres a nice repo 350zGT that should fit (just!) within that budget wink

Is there any general advice people can offer, no doubt by mind will be lured by some of the other metal on offer redface

Remember the fees and don't bid over your maximum. Also, try to find a friendly trader who has some experience around the place. I wouldn't buy on my first trip though!

Now, if only there were a website for petrol heads all round the country, a tame trader may read your thread and offer to hold your hand. hehe
