MrV 66 Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) I'm here again, can anyone familiar with Manheim provide some help please? Last week I signed upto their services which iirc was £70 and they sent me details in the post for an "advantage account". Today I logged into my account online and did a search with BUY NOW/Online Auction criteria selected, I've found 2 cars I want but I can't see where to "buy now" or even when the "online auction" will be, there's no buy now etc buttons nothing, any ideas?

Paddy 31 Posted June 3, 2018 Quite a few of us mentioned on your previous thread mate, you got to put the legwork in and get your arse down to an auction and don't leap in and buy any old cheap shite without crawling all over it. If your bidding don't just bid to 'win' it you'll pay to much, research what your interested in, set your max bid in your head and stick to it, don't forget fees. Keep your eyes and ears open and you'll be amazed, shocked probably a better word, at the goings on if you're regularly attending. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the auction is close to you then even in five years I would still attend, unless your buying very new stuff with tiny miles anything else needs to be heard seen and smelt in that order. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rory RSC 596 Posted June 4, 2018 Buy now cars have been through sales and not sold for a reason usually. Can occasionally trawl them and cherry pick the odd good car but rare, requires a lot of leg work and if I do and buy a bad one I have only myself to blame. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metcars 397 Posted June 4, 2018 OP: Don't do it! I buy loads from Manheim, but NEVER buy online and/or without a physical inspection as above! Lots of guys on here buy online (good luck to them), but it is not for the feint hearted or newbies Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely no chance whatsoever here. +1 could never do it when starting out its hard enough now we have started buying new stuff with manufacturer warranty still get the odd bad one. You learn a lot when at the auctions in person and spot cars you just don't notice online too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
