It wouldn’t bother me, if you look into stuff too much it ruins it for you. We’re all gamblers in this job. Just take a chance

I was just using that as an example, but thanks.

Most law abiding,honest,educated and decent people reading that article will side with the complainant.I am sorry to say the way I read it,she could be pulling a scam.What are the chances that the complainant qualifies for a £60 per week Mobility Allowance .So instead of getting a free new Motability car and returning it after 3 years, by blaming the salesman this one could be hoping to end up owning the car after 3 years when it will be worth 5 grand.......Why do I automatically think like that,it must be the result of over 50 years in the job.

WBAC are not doing that. I traded a van into them a few weeks back, it was going through bca two days later.

I’ve got arthritis? Will bca let me have cars for free too?

In the bad old days (20-25+ yrs ago) I know of a trader who got rid of his overheating Merc through the auction when he superglued the temperature guage needle on the halfway point. The car had less than a gallon of fuel in, but he was feeling generous and gave it 'a full tank' at the same time and glued the fuel guage needle on Full. Imagine trying to get away with something like that these days!! Joking aside, I think you are correct. The older we are the more we seem to over analyze stuff. I am guilty of it. And I certainly dont have the balls I once had. I think you could call it experiance or once bitten twice shy. Having said that the auction job has changed a lot past 10 yrs, what with half of Bca now being their own wbac cars for sale. And as we all know, there are a large percentage of these with hidden faults, which is why they were sold to wbac in the first place.

Thats the life time experience too Pal . Pendragon is all rubbish , always has been always will be .

Pendragon online with a BCA description ? Good luck.I would only buy Pendragon stuff if I could see it,listen to it and smell it and it would still be a risk.

The search for the sales online on a desk top computer is near impossible Look for the lot eg ukcg 302 NT means its uk car group 302 at Notts , BB is Black bushe PT is Peterbourgh and likewise . Its not easy i must say , when youve chosen what you think is the correct sale look in Catalogue to make sure its in that sale . By far the easiest way is the app on a phone that tells you how many lots away the car is and connects you to the sale easy . If you still want to see the car on desk top screen and bid look for the car going in the sale on your phone , then look for that car on lap top screen and connect . Hope that helps . BCA have no idea and aint bothered either . Pen dragon has a number like PEN105 PT eg that means Pendragon 105 at Peterborough takes years to pick it all up .
