car auctions

anyone go much or have bought a car from one..
the misses is looking for a car a few years old roughly around a 54/55 plate and i thought maybe i should look at car auctions in newport...
grateful for any advice

I bought an old Mondeo for the wife at Newport Auctions about 4 years ago. Got myself a good deal, but you have to go early to check out the best options, by checking the bodywork, mileage etc. You need to do some research before you go, like checking out their going rate. You can do this online quite easily and http://www.parkers.co.uk/ is one of many sites to check before you buy. There's also a review of old cars link there as well.

You'll also have to take certain paperwork with you, like a proof of identity for example, possibly your driving licence and obtain insurance for the vehicle you purchase, before you are allowed to drive the car away. Think you also have to pay commission on the car you purchase as well. Good luck.

ive heard good reports too

im pretty sure i know a city fan who works there, manager or somthing!

just check the car over, can also text its details to certin companys these days, they send a text back saying its millage, colour, if its been in a accident and what its worth is

How much you got to spend ?

my wife bought a astra diesel from newport auctions, 57 plate, 30,ooo miles, £4000, its mint condition,, but she was told to go on a monday? as its cars from the motorbility dealers, those cars are serviced reg, etc, i will get my cars from there in future,,,, dont go to the methyr one, pure crap and waste of time,
