Buying a car at BCA

[Bruce Almighty]

I'm looking for a nearly new Fiesta or Focus diesel & see a few listed regularly at BCA
Has anyone got any experience of car buying at auction ?
I understand VAT & buyers commission is on top of your bid.
Thanks in advance

Fees at BCA are prohibitive, as mentioned on the old thread - only really worth doing if you know someone with a trade account to buy on your behalf.
Some of the local auction sites are pitched towards the non trade buyer, but vehicle quality will be a lot more variable.

Works out too pricey as mentioned, plus now there's the tax issue, you can't drive it away unless taxed so it means another visit or costs to transport.
