Auctioning used cars - Vehicle sales

Car auction buying and selling tips

If you're keen to sell your vehicle at a local auction make sure that you make it look as good as possible! Get it valeted so that it looks better than the selection of other vehicles that are also up for sale. Write a list of your car's features, including engine size and fuel efficiency, so that any buyers can quickly get hold of the information they require on the motor in order to make a reasoned bid. If you need to avoid the risk of the car being sold too cheaply, inform the auctioneer that you want to attain a reserve price before the bidding begins. For all the buyers out there who want to grab a bargain, try to glean as much information as is possible from the registered keeper of the vehicle regarding engine issues, full service history details or general maintenance problems. Do your homework if you have the time and try to ascertain how much the model would sell for if it were privately sold. Start your bid low and stick to your limit so you don't spend more than you'd planned.
