Advice on how to buy and sell a car at auction

If you're keen to sell your vehicle at a local auction try to make sure that it looks clean and roadworthy! Visit the car wash so that it stands tall amongst the array of other vehicles present at the auction. List all the details and features of your unwanted car so that prospective buyers can easily access all the information they need on the motor before they make a bid. If you don't want the car to be sold too cheaply, let the auctioneer know that you want to reach a reserve price before the sale commences. For all the buyers out there who want to grab a bargain, try to glean as much information as you can from car owners regarding mileage, the number of previous keepers or general maintenance concerns. Do some research if you can and try to find out how much the model would sell for if it were sold privately. Always start your bid low and stick to your limit so you don't spend more than you'd planned.
