Lakeside 94 Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) I got on ok, it’s amazing me the prices some of them are fetching. No assured report and cant even see them driving through the hall. Some big risk takers out there. I wouldn’t fancy spending £10k to find out the engines knocking Edited April 20, 2020 by Lakeside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only way it will work is if the auctions give honest appraisals? Edited April 21, 2020 by metcars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New year revolutions...... 197 Posted April 21, 2020 I'm realising that if the auction online is going to work for all then they need to get an inbound led handling centre for enquiries on particular cars,so they will need to get under the hood of the marketing mix to strategically get this working .....kind a Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lakeside 94 Posted April 21, 2020 I would of thought to be online only every car would have to be assured for buyers to be interested. Since watching Lockdown online only this past couple of weeks there’s clearly no need as there’s plenty of risk takers out there prepared to pay top money without any assurance whatsoever.

Looking at it in a out of the box needs must do scenario, what we have ex lockdown way I can see where you are inbound on your thinking, but,onger term the bilateral expenditure of securing the ultimate bid situation will indeed necessitate an ongoing up front inbound led handling centre though,its the only way 3 minutes ago, Lakeside said: I would of thought to be online only every car would have to be assured for buyers to be interested.

Highlinev8 28 Posted April 21, 2020 I buy a lot online. I'm fussy about what I buy and I only buy grade 1 stock off Mercedes/VWFS etc. Takes big balls to be buying old crap to be honest. I send in my own driver to collect who inspects and photographs the car before he leaves site. Any problems are notified and I will discuss with BCA before he drives off. In the ideal world I would get to inspect every car personally but thats not possible when you are bidding in multiple sites. There is very little advantage to actually visiting auctions for me. Back in the day I could open a car and give it a good check over, now cars are mostly locked until 20 seconds before they run in to the hall, doesnt exactly give you much of a chance particularly when theres four or five bodies all trying to get into the car at the same time.

Paul C 75 Posted April 21, 2020 I'd happily buy cheap and expensive online - for the cheap, accepting that "price reflects condition". Its the middle ground I'm wary of. Its a shame the appraisals are so variable, if they were consistent it would give more confidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
