Smaller auctions - Junk cars!

Recommended Posts

anyone else notice i higher than normal number of junk cars in the smaller auctions these days?

I have had 4 cars in 4 weeks with either knackard engines, knackard gearboxes or something else seriously wrong mechanically!

I currently have 1 back at auction now that i am trying to get gone :(

Also... the auction house taking an eternity to pay me for sold cars! been waiting 3 weeks for payment on 5 cars now :( not helping my cashflow at all!

It's the same at any auction at the moment. People are only trading-in because their car is knackered. I reluctantly went to the auctions yesterday, visited two sites and the cars fell into four groups;

1) Battered/trashed.

2) Obviously knackered mechanically (I was sick of hearing DMFs rattling).

3) Pure shite ran-up by the auctioneer.

4) A few "gems" that buyers paid through their noses for. I hope for their sake the cars are ok cos there's certainly no money left in the pot for repairs.

Needless to say, I can home empty handed.

My local Manheim is the same grade 4/5 cars going through above cap avg but not being sold, in some cases for 3 or 4 weeks on the bounce . 

There has been some real shite of late maybe 1 or 2 cars in the whole auction worth buying.

Don't knock it, they could knock on your door instead?
