Part of learning the trade is to know which lines to buy out of BCA from. Year's ago at Bridgwater the 'Multi Source' line used to be cars from various local car dealers and Scotland for some reason. If I entred a car it used to go into 'Multisource', now 80% of the time i would be selling it at auction for a reason...because it had a fault!!! so I'm guessing the same applied for other dealers. If you want a safe bet UKCG (Uk car group) is a good line for mixed stock at BCA in my opinion. Saying that I haven't bought out of it for about 2 years now so it may have changed. If you have lost £15000 in bad deals maybe you should try buying newer cars or maybe you should give up!!! You can find bargin's at auctions but I'm not giving anyway my tried and tested technique just yet!!! Out of interest what sort of cars are you buying and selling??

Hi Ken Welcome to the forum and welcome to the never dull world of Car Dealing. Online buying is a great idea to help widen the appeal of stock, but if you are new to the game then there is nothing better than actually eyeballing the stock. As you start to get a better feel for the types of vendor and what works then buying online is less of a risk. It does sound like you have been a tad unlucky and in the case of the BCA experience, you may find you have some recourse if there was a major mechanical defect, however it depends how bought and how significant the problem was. I would speak to BCA in the first instance, however until you are really comfortable, you simply can't beat kicking the tyres Andy
