jan808 1 Posted March 19, 2022 Hi Guy Just want to throw this out there. Has anyone experienced problems with low mileage cars purchased from BCA? also is it true all their good stock are sold on Cinch? And the poor quality cars are on BCA? Any insight will be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lakeside 94 Posted March 19, 2022 They do pick the best of the bunch for themselves but with the volume of cars going through bca surely they can’t keep everything. Also surely this is only the case with WBAC/UKCGR As other vendors would want their cars to go through the block and not be bought at rock bottom by BCA/Cinch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metcars 397 Posted March 20, 2022 The last time I checked the BCA vendors list, 16 had ‘BCA’ in their title? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't read everything and believe it , Yes there's some rubbish out there . one day you will get a rouge that's without doubt . But theres some good ones too . We buy hundreds of cars from BCA . yes weve had a few rouges but theyve gone back , some easy some with a fight . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petrol head 46 Posted March 21, 2022 If the quality stock doesn’t go to CINCH, they will now go to Marshalls, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BCA has become a retail outfit , Not fit for purpose really is it . The auction system has changed at BCA . Vendors are migrating their stock elsewhere as contracts end , they don't like BCA retail competition . Used Covid to initiate change . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have nailed it Mate, can't understand why any group would use them for remarketing. We used to use them 20 years ago, when I worked for a large group and they were terrible.
