Repo's will usually have been taken without the owners co-operation, so often lacking spare/red keys, manuals, service history, MOT, V5, cd player etc etc ...
As previously mentioned if they can't pay for it, they can't afford to service it.
Also, if the car is troublesome, the easiest way to get rid of it, is to stop paying the HP, and get it repossessed!
Thats why auction prices vary so much.
General section (low prices as most are traders or private cars, which if any good would be sold elsewhere)
main Agent PX section (good prices, as at least the dealer isn't trying to make a fast buck / hasn't tarted up the car. Also if owner could afford to pay main agent price for new car, chance old one was well looked after)
Yes car credit (or similar )px's (very low prices, why would anyone sign up to mortgage length finance deals at well above book price and 20% apr, if their current car actually went?)
Fleet sales (depends how desirable it is - We all want to buy that 140k mile X reg, white 406 1.8 base model!)
