Auctions vs Car Supermarkets - a900ss
Hi,

I'm in the market for a nearly new (1 yr old) Focus, Megane, Astra, size car.

I haven't been to an auction in AGES and was wondering how the prices at auction for these types of car compare to the large car supermarkets.

Any advice/thoughts most welcome.

Thanks

Go to a car supermarket, often the cars are well checked out and with low mileages. whereas in an auction you could get a brand new car which covered almost double the mileage you would of expected. Also cars at auctions are generally not checked out, whereas car giant have a policy to check cars thoroughly.

Go to a supermarket like Motorpoint guranteed price spec , colour etc no premium based on price through the ring etc. Also you'll have some consumer protection if the car is a pup
