What you can get for your money these days

I didn't see any bargains there

provisional sale is just a basis for negotiation - means next to nothing

buyer's premium is a ripoff

and auctions are all rigged anyway

whatever you buy a car for from the auction

it will be more than you would have paid if you were one of the inner circle that controls all auctions

 

Do you still wear glasses?

 

The 550 is a good price, but as Gad says after fees etc they don't look that great. Is there VAT to pay on the price, or is that just on the fees ??

 

do you still have a girlfriend?

 

Just a question, is it still cheaper "in general" to buy from an auction than from a private sale/dealer?

 

what's that got to do with Cars? I don't buy cars to impress women Gad, unlike you

 

Not sure , I just saw the thread and thought Mikey may be interested as he is after something .

 

@ this thread

 

in general, it still depends on too many factors to answer

cheaper than dealer - should be - that's where dealers buy a high percentage of their stock

but people get carried away at auctions

think they are buying a car with a production figure in the teens

instead of the hundreds of thousands
