Grantlfc81 88 Posted February 7, 2018 I suggest you start looking at all avenues. Bought a nice 10 plate mini diesel on raw2k Monday. 61k on the clock diesel for £3k! Amazing. Oil change, valet and MOT and safety check and off you got for £5500 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Earunder 69 Posted February 14, 2018 Seriously WTF BCA 12 plate with 57k LAND ROVER R/R EVOQUE 2.2 SD4 DYNAMIC 4WD CAP £ 18,900 MADE 20,600 plus fees... Only retails at £21,500!?!?!?!

The weathers rubbish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BHM 994 Posted February 14, 2018 Last week at Washington, 60 plate Subaru Impreza hatchback with the desirable (ahem!) diesel engine. CAP average 3.6K, clean 3.9K, it made £5K on the hammer. Bonkers. Personally I wouldn’t want it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Earunder 69 Posted February 15, 2018 2 hours ago, met said: When are these price rises going to be picked up by the price guides? Because they can't all be selling. It is known for Auction Houses to stock pile the cars for a few weeks to keep the prices up. Don't forget there have been some major franchised dealers that have joined the used car market since November and more are joining. A lot of the sales at ludicrous prices are "probably" to these franchises, which is fine by me, they'll lose money and be out of this industry quicker than 6 months.

sparky 274 Posted February 16, 2018 Well another complete waste of a day. Whoever said prices would soften and get back to something like normal, I'll have a pint of what they are on. All we can hope for (and I'n not holding my breath) is that the new reg plate in March brings some sanity to proceedings. Utter madness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lakeside 94 Posted February 16, 2018 Midlands prices had seam to come down a bit this week until today. Just watched the ex police sale at BCA Wolverhampton. What a Joke! Who wants a ragged to death ex police panda car at well over cap clean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metcars 397 Posted February 16, 2018 I was at Manheim Colchester last night. It's not so much the prices were high but the cars were so awful. You'd have to be an expert to thoroughly and comprehensively f**k a car to the extent that a combination of broken bodywork/mechanicals and no MOT/service history left no saleable feature Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s interesting.If decommissioned white ex patrol cars with most of the dashboard missing were doing over CAP,now that is a first. However,civilian spec stuff,especially from Thames Valley Force ( which is possible) have always done a fortune. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did buy an ex met police civilian spec car last week though, clean as whistle with 55k. Bit of a result as the 55k was actually in km. I love it when this happens on the french stuff.
