Grantlfc81 88 Posted October 6, 2019 Does anyone have a rough idea of delivery costs. for example BCA Nottingham to Essex. We are going to be hitting the online auctions tomorrow as we are being heavily out gunned down here in Chelmsford, Colchester, Enfield etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernTrader 20 Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Hi Grant, last time I used BCA earlier this year I was charged £210 plus VAT for 180 miles, that was transported not driven. I use a local transport company now as they are better priced and more flexible Edited October 6, 2019 by SouthernTrader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick M.K. 574 Posted October 6, 2019 BCA have always given me the lowest quote. Driven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A & S 20 Posted October 6, 2019 I use them all the time, i normally buy 5 to 10 units at a time, about 30 miles they charge us £40 for 5 to 7 units and £35 for 8 or more. (Transported) Odd occasion buy online a single car about 80 to 100 miles that's about £100 driven. ....... find its easier to deal with one company for the purchase and delivery. You might save a few quid by going through Movex but it's more work for you. You could be doing something else instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think they only drive cars under x years old and transport cars over that age. I cannot remember the exact age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I remember right they will drive the car if it's under 10 years old or older than 10 years you have to sign a form if the car breaks down on the way down to you it's your responsibility to get it recovered. They also look at the condition of the car I.e tyres etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick M.K. 574 Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) To be driven the car needs to have a valid Mot and no safety issues on the assured report. If one single tyre measurement says 1mm or if the brake pad warning is on they will not drive it. Edited October 8, 2019 by Nick M.K. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
