So years ago when i wanted a different car, my dad took me to some relatively local car auction places, it was always a good day out seeing some of the cars going through, but i never really found anything which i wanted within my price range.
In the end though i went to The British Car Auctions in Manchester on a recomendation from one of dads closest friends, it was huge in comparison to the small time ones i had been to in the past. Sure enough, i ended up finding a Ford Focus which i bought.
It's been a few years now though, now without the guidence of my dad nor keeping in contact with his old friend, but i have been keen to change my car once again to something with a smaller engine and what not to keep the insurance and tax down.
Was looking on Auto-trader and what not, but again the prices didn't interest me, then i remembered about the BCA. Does anyone really recommend usage of car auction places, with the added bonus that they're clearly a very reputable auction site. Since i probably won't be able to make it down there i just noticed they have an online auction too, which would be just perfect as it would be live at the same time as the auction in person... Only downside being you can't thoroughly inspect the vehicle yourself...
