Car not as described

I recently purchased a 2013 BMW 318d SE at a car auction. In the sales brochure the car was listed as having sat nav it turns out this was wrong,
what are my rights the car auction are saying the car went below cap value?

None because in a car auction you buy on the auctioneer's description, not the catalogue description. Unless the tape of the auctioneer's description shows he said it has satnav you have no case.
