Advice on how to buy and sell a car at auction

If you want to sell your car at an auction make it look as good as it possibly can before it hits the eyes of potential buyers! Take it to a car wash so that it shines out amongst the other vehicles that are up for sale. The details and features of the car should be listed so that buyers can quickly get hold of the information they require on the motor before they settle on making a bid. If you need to bypass the risk of selling the car at too low a price, tell the auctioneer that you want to attain a reserve price before the bidding begins. For all the thrifty buyers out there who want to make their money go as far as possible, try to glean as much information as is possible from the registered keeper of the vehicle concerning the number of previous keepers, mileage or general maintenance concerns. Do some research if you can and try to figure out how much your chosen model would sell for in the hands of a private buyer. Bid low to begin with and be aware of your limit so you don't overbid in the excitement of it all.
