Going to try to cover 2 topics in one thread... I have ever bought 2 cars from BCA Preston and have struggled to sell both. One didn't sell for a month and i was driving and a milf went into it writing it off! But what accident value can you expect from the insurers? Would it be trade in value or retail or private sale value? BCA Walsall seems to be my second bad luck site. Bedford, Newcastle, Leeds and Nottm cars always sell quick. Anyone else experience this?

I know it's a bit early but wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays, a Merry Christmas, a big sales spike just after Christmas and a very healthy and prosperous 2019. It certainly looks like it will be an eventful one! To everyone on this forum that I bought from, sold to, did repairs for or got gifts and advice from: Thank you all for your business, your generosity, your tips and for the opportunities of course! Nick

For non fault accidents the other insurer will pay you “market” value. You negotiate with them and try and get dealer retail if possible. For fault accidents your own trade insurer will only pay trade price which again is negotiable but usually they will want auction invoices and will pay out that value IF it’s similar to the Cap trade guide. This could seriously leave you out of pocket on a car that had a lot of work done to it. Cars for auction centres starting with the letter B sell fastest for me :-)))

Happy Christmas to all my "colleagues." This forum makes me feel part of a bigger team in what can be a lonely place at times. Thank you for al your support. Let's hope we all have a really prosperous New Year.

I'd like to wish everyone here a Happy Christmas and a good and healthy year to come.... Thank you to all who contribute to the forum, I know I get out more than I put in, (it's just sometimes/often I can't stand the sound of my own voice)... PS ....Nick Great Picture.....VU3139 is still taxed and MOT'd... 1931 Alvis Silver Eagle, however I'd be suspicious of it's exact mileage looking at it's MOT history...
