Our auction represents a very efficient way of selling your
vehicle. If you intend to sell your car at auction, it is worth
considering the following:
Make every effort to present your car in the best possible way.
Ensure that it is cleaned and polished, inside and out.
Write clearly on the entry form, giving all vehicle details.
REMEMBER: a
misleading description may make the owner
liable to prosecution
under the various trading standards laws and you will be charged
commission in the event
of a cancelled sale.
Bring your car or van to the auction as early as possible on the
day of the sale or preferably before. Make sure that you bring
all paperwork relating to the vehicle i.e. Logbook (V5), MOT
Certificate, tax and service history if applicable.
Take the current
mileage reading from the speedometer, you will then need to
complete an entry form which is basically all the vehicle
details
and your details for payment.
An entry fee of
15.00 pounds is payable at the time of entry.
When your vehicle is sold, a commission of 6% plus VAT (minimum
charge 10.00 pounds and maximum of 120.00 pounds) are deducted from the sale
proceeds. Unsold vehicles will be subject to a storage charge on
a daily basis if not removed when requested.
When your vehicle is sold a remittance advice and cheque (A/C
Payee only) will be posted by first class mail three clear
working days after each sale day of the sale. Please ensure that
your full name, address and post code are printed clearly
on the
entry form as these details cannot be changed after the sale.
If your vehicle is subject to a hire purchase agreement, you
must ensure that all relevant details are included on the
entry
form. We are able to settle finance agreements provided
that the net sale proceeds are sufficient to clear the
outstanding
balance. A Nominal charge is made for this service.
Please note that it is a criminal offence to sell a vehicle
without clearing outstanding finance and we check all vehicles
sold against hire purchase information registers at the time of
the sale. This
register will disclose if any finance house has
an interest, if it is recorded with the police as stolen, if it
has been the subject
of a total loss insurance claim or had a
change of registration number.
