Evening folks, Like everyone here, i've been stung by BCA a number of times, i'd say 8 cars purchased from BCA this year, they've had major faults (2 engine rebuilds). Reason for this topic is to see what can be done after the sale if it is on a 'sold as seen' basis.To help, i'm going to give two examples of cars bought from BCA this year. 1 - Grade 3 car, over 10 years old so no condition report, i'm bidding online and the auctioneer states what a mint car etc, stupidly, i took his word for it, won the car and went to collect, there were 10+ dings on each rear quarter (not exaggerating), and the front end had been resprayed by a 10 year old. Clearly not grade 3 and not 'mint' as auctioneer stated. 2 - In the pictures, no lights were on the dash, when the car came through the auction (online bidding again, no mechanical report), I asked the auctioneer if there were any lights on the dash, they replied and said there were none, fair enough so I won the car, went to collect the next day, and strangely, they bring the car out to me and the chap just walks off, i get in the car and to my surprise the dash is lit up like a christmas tree, and the kick in the teeth was, all lights were not linked to one fault. From a legal point, given the two scenarios, where do I stand with giving the car back or getting some money back because clearly they've misdescribed the car. Love to hear your thoughts guys. Thanks

Auctions work for me. They're not perfect by any means, but .....
