There must be a "wall" of used cars (both privately and in the trade) piled up, many of them great buys and apparently available at truly bargain prices. I can only think t'is a sign of how UK economy is apparently booming (as opposed to mainland Europe's) while people here splash out on new or nearly new vehicles.
In fact, many people must be trying to get rid of cars that are well worth keeping, just to change.

A quick look in Auction View, shows just over 9500 cars available in auction, today - NOT a very high entry, as it happens, 11-12,000 more the norm!!
Add this number to Manheim & all the private auction houses.Then add all the ones on the forecourts, in compounds, on the transporters & peoples driveway, waiting for this weeks Autotrader &.... who'd be a car dealer?????

Agreed with HJ, Brightwells is a country auction focussing on 4x4, does a lot of subaru, and the buyers there appreciate their tough rugged durability and credit them for it more than your big urban bca type places, i think you'd see £2-2.2k there maybe more, have alook on the web they show recent prices, friendly place bought a RR 4.6 there.
