Also dont forget whilst opening an account with the auction houses thats easy you will then have to buy some cars at silly buyers rate before they move you up, granted these days they do move you a lot quicker than they used to mainly to ensure they keep your business but the first 5-10 cars will be painfully expensive, and thats at each auction house. Also factor in delivery / collection costs default storage costs if your unable to collect within 3 days bca are brutal with this to newbies. Like most things in the motor trade it changes week on week our nearest bca / manhiem is bristol / birmingham but we spend more money at blackbush as they have more of the stock we sell so we have to pay delivery, so dont think just because there is an auction house an hour away its where your going to buy it doesnt work out like that. some cracking advise from above print it off read it inside out over and over again.

I would want to see it first, see a local dealer to me get handed a 30k stocking loan the fool went straight out changed his stock portfolio run out of money trying to prep them bought cars he didn’t understand and lost the lot with 3 months, that stock was a pile of junk overpriced serious faults ect but it all got sold on.
