Nevillec 11 Posted November 30, 2021 Hi, I have noticed there are a lot more provisionals at the auctions, we mainly use Manheim. The prices seem to be easy off a bit.....about time. Bought a couple this week at ok money.......still seem high but compared to the current prices not bad. Anyone else noticed the same? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHM 994 Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) Surely it can’t get much worse Tbh from what I can tell, despite the prices, half of the lots are half-fucked anyway. I don’t think I’ve dipped my hand into my pocket for repairs as much as I have in the last 4 months. The only saving grace is least we can now add it on at the other end.

Agree, Ive bought a few more recently from BCA, still top money but managed to sell quickly for a few quid more than normal margin. Public seem to realise they need to pay more. December started well compared to previous Decembers but quieter this week as per normal in run up to xmas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samuel welwyn 1 Posted February 9, 2022 Is it just me or has pricing gone mental again? How could soo many people be buying grade 4s with no history at 400 less then retail? Am I missing something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m watching grade 5’s go way over cap then price checking with AT and finding I could go and buy an equivalent retail ready car from another dealer cheaper than I could from BCA. Who is actually making money from these auction cars at the min? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who is buying them and where the f%#k they are going with them … apart from bankrupt I often ask the same question a while back tried to buy an Audi for 16k at mainheim it made 17 k the exact same car was online at the Audi main dealer for £18900 before it went off to auction and that same car ended up in a car supermarket for £21k madness Edited February 11, 2022 by Casper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huggins 17 Posted February 12, 2022 Yes i've been getting increasingly frustrated with the mad prices. When I get desperate for stock and bid more than I ought to and.. still get out bid?! Looks like I'm going to be on for a loss this month due to the lack of stock, first time in 17 years!! Yet some local dealers are full to the rafters with mid range stock but can only assume they've given ALL the money for the stock and are hoping for the best. I don't think I'm brave enough or trust the auction appraisal enough for this business model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve been watching most of the midland sites today and most has been going up to a grand under Cap. Been the odd one that’s still fetched a high price but still a lot better than it has been recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
