My first experience of using the auctions to buy a car was when I was 14 and I was looking for a project to work on, I bought a Citroen AX, it was an MOT failure but still had six months tax. I paid £60 for the car, drove it home, spent a month or so tidying it up, got it through an MOT, with the help of my dad, and sold it, taxed and MOT'd for £450. I made a good profit on that car because I went early to the auction and spent a couple of hours looking through the cars with a trained mechanic until I found the one I had my heart set on. I went to the auctions and was prepared to spend £2000 on the citroen and I was shocked when I got it for only £60. I would recommend the auctions to people from all walks of life, looking for a good quality, cheap car. I would recommend you go to the auction at least 1 hour before the bidding starts and study the cars well, if you do this you wont be ripped of and end up with a cheap and nasty car.
