Well, where does their stock come from?

Breakers yards judging by the state of some of the shite going thru Colchester.....soooooo tough to find 'park n marks' I've given up trying.

I thought I was the only one experiencing the issues with Colchester. I couldn’t buy anything for over a month for the same reason that you mentioned, then I finally found something worth buying. Which was a 2009 black Astra that had passed with a mark of  39/39 on the assured check.  When I got there to pick it up, it had an ABS light on! Bs right?! So I called up sure check and they accepted fault and refunded me. Ever since then, all I’ve been seeing is junk. I refuse to purchase anything that isn’t sure checked, because it’s really not worth being stung in the arse with a vehicle that should’ve really gone to COPART! 

I find that Leeds has the BEST stock! It’s just far. I think mainly because the stuff comes from Arnold Clark who is reputable in my eyes. Plus, each vehicle that I’ve purchased from there have  been valeted, so saving me JOB! I’ve ordered something from Birmingham which is coming later today, so we’ll see how that one goes.

I actually got two very good buys out of Colchester last week (one so cheap I am still wondering what I have missed but can't fault it) so can happen. Manheim are struggling for quality vendors though compared to BCA and have for some time.

Likewise I am reluctant to bid on anything not Surechecked these days.
