Guidance on buying and selling a vehicle at an auction

If you're looking to sell your motor car at an auction try to make sure that it looks clean and roadworthy! Get it car-washed so that it looks like a good buy against the mix of other vehicles that are up for sale. Draw up a list of your car's relevant features like power steering so that buyers can easily access all the information they need on the motor in order to come up with a reasonable bid figure. If you need be certain that the car won't be sold too cheaply, inform the auctioneer that you want to hit a reserve price beforehand. For all the buyers out there who haven't been to an auction before but still want to make a decent purchase, attempt to extract as much info as is possible from the registered keeper of the vehicle regarding engine issues, full service history details or problems related to general maintenance. Get your homework done beforehand and try to ascertain how much the model would sell for if it were privately sold. Start your bid low and don't surpass your budget limit.
