Off to car auction!
« on: 09 February 2010, 15:52:18 »
My first car auction tonight - I'm going with Josh.

Going mainly for the experience - as never been before.

I do have my eye on a dog-mobile though - it's a Pug 406 2000(v) Estate, 2.0 HDi 110 model with 127k -

We have ideas re what it may be worth - anyone have any thoughts on what it may fetch at auction, in tidy condition? :)

Although I've bought some enclosures for dogs in the saloon, it's not totally ideal... so this would be perfect at the right price. They do 60mpg too!

Last time i was there, they had a fleet of x-plod 330d's go through, saw couple of Omegas but they were rough, used on skid-pan i think.

Also send accident damaged cars though, see some good stuff  :)

Don't take your wallet, you will be tempted.  ;D

If that HDi estate goes under £800 I may well snap it up...

It had dents in the front OS wing, both OS doors, but otherwise very tidy and started /ran like a dream.

I had a strict budget of £750 - considering it was an auction, with no comeback - so the low price I was prepared to pay allowed for that risk - and for the fact it needed a cambelt so on...

It went for £1k.....

Very nice, executive model with leather, and those HDi engines are cracking .... but, it went beyond the budget....

Was there anything else there that caught your eye?

Does anything go for the low hundreds these days?

Last one I went to was BCA Enfield, where it seems the east europeans brought just about everything. I never saw a single car that I thought 'what a bargain'
