I sold my sister-in-laws Vauxhall astra there about 8 months ago... All sales seem to be 'sold as seen' or at least all those entered into my auction were. It was 1992 Astra with 150k on the clock and had a misfire problem at anything over 50 mph. I gave it a good clean (electric polisher on the bodywork) and it looked a million dollars. She wanted £100 for it, so you can imagine the look on her face when the hammer dropped at £540 - purchased by a small ads trader (recognised the face from a previous potential purchase I backed out of).
For me the auction was local and I haven't been in the buying/selling game for a while now (company car). About 10 years ago, Chelmsford Auctions used to sell some nice stuff - nearly new, low mileage cars, plus fleet clearances. These days the auction car park look a very mixed bag.
If I was buying a car, no that's a different story.....
