Auctioning used cars - Vehicle sales

Top tips for buying and selling at car auctions

If you want to sell your car at an auction make it look as good as it possibly can before it hits the eyes of potential buyers! Get it car-washed so that it looks like a good buy against the selection of other vehicles that are also up for sale. Write a list of your car's features, including engine size and fuel efficiency, so that any buyers can swiftly obtain essential information on the motor prior to making a bid. If you need to guarantee that the car isn't sold at too low a price, tell the auctioneer that you want to attain a reserve price before the bidding begins. For all the buyers out there who want to grab a bargain, pose questions and get as many answers as is possible from the registered keeper of the vehicle regarding mileage, the number of previous keepers or issues concerning general maintenance. If you have time, research a little and try to ascertain how much the model would sell for if it were privately sold. Start your bid low and stick to your limit so you don't spend more than you'd planned.
