Car Buyers 'May Be Able To Get Bargain At Auction'

People looking at buying a used vehicle so they can save money may want to get themselves down to a car auctions.

If you have not been to an auction before visit first as a spectator to find out how it all works. Then when you go to buy, take someone who knows about cars with you and who can assess their condition and worth.

Don’t buy a car without a service history. Look for the service book, which, if not in the car, could be on the rostrum with the auctioneer. Be wary of a car which is kept locked until it is taken into the auction hall.

Decide the maximum you intend, or can afford, to spend and stick to it. If there are any legal terms which are difficult to understand the auction staff will be happy to explain.

Some auctions give the purchaser a limited time to try out the vehicle and reject it if it is not suitable, but as this may be only a matter of hours, look closely at the terms of business.

If you do manage to bag a bargain at an auction by opting for third party motor insurance you can save even more money.
