bought or buying a car from an auction?
Discussion
Hello everyone
I like car auctions,
have bought a few cars from auctions over the years (and sold a couple too)
and would like to hear from private buyers who have bought a car at auction, and hear how they got on,
I've had a few crackers,, and a couple of complete bangers!
so:
which auction? was it a prestige auction (i'd like to hear from anyone who's bought at a top marques in Nottingham or similar)
when, and how long you've ran it for?
was there anything wrong with it?
how much including fees? (if you don't mind telling everyone)
how much you'd pay for a similar car privately or at a dealer
and of course some photo's (low res please as the internet connection is rubbish here offshore)
I'll start it off,
My last car i bought was a 2003 L322 Range Rover SE 4.4 petrol from the friday night auctions at Kinross (smag)
got it delivered to my house in the north east of scotland and including all fees was a fiver off £6k
had to repair a hole in the exhaust, fix a broken exhaust hanger, and a dicky sidelight connection, for is MOT a few months later
was a tad rough around the edges but only had 65,000 miles and loads of receipts / history,
kept it for 6 months then sold it for £6,000, so not bad, just an MOT, some Tax and Petrol,
