Auto Auctions
With a reputation for service, excellence and corporate
integrity stretching back 60 years in the auto auction industry and
with a network of auto auction centres across the UK and European
mainland BCA has remained at the very cutting edge of the auto
auction business.
Here are brief details on the key areas of buying and selling a
vehicle at an auto auction. Full information is available in a free
booklet called "General Guide to Buying and Selling" which can be
obtained by calling BCA Customer Services 0844 875 3480. All auto
auctions are operated in accordance with our Conditions of Sale and
Entry which are both on display at Auction Centres and available
from the previous telephone number.
How do you buy at an Auto Auction?
All vehicles are available for visual inspection before the auto
auction and by referring to the catalogue, you should decide on how
much you wish to spend. In most cases the vehicle will be started
and driven before the rostrum.
Auto auction Bids are made and at the fall of the hammer, the
highest bidder must go (if not a BCA Account holder) straight to
the rostrum to pay a deposit of £500 or 10% of the hammer price
(whichever is the greater). The deposit can be paid in cash at the
rostrum at the time of sale. Alternatively a deposit can be paid in
advance of bidding with the cashiers in the Customer Concourse in
cash or by a UK issued Delta or Switch card.
How do you enter a vehicle for an Auto
Auction?
You can deliver the vehicle to the chosen auto auction centre or
collection can be arranged. Prior to it being accepted for sale, an
Entry Form must be completed accurately and fully, signed and
presented with any appropriate documentation.
When completing the mechanical condition section of the Entry
Form, the vehicle must be described using one of the Selling
Descriptions detailed in the "general guide to buying and selling".
The odometer mileage must be shown and identified as Warranted or
otherwise.
For a free copy of the "Guide to Buying and Selling" along with
the Conditions of Entry and Sale, please telephone BCA Customer
Services 0844 875 3480.
