British Car Auctions (BCA) Date: 07/11/11 Rating: Very Poor Advantages: No advantage over buying on Ebay, in fact you would probably get a better deal on the Internet. Disadvantages: You may not own what you buy at British Car Auctions. My wife went to Measham car auctions caravan sale, she looked at several caravans, bid on two or three and bought one. A year later she wanted to upgrade so put her caravan on Ebay, with all the details including the CHRiS number. There was a lot of... (read more)

Tried to sell my car with BCA.
While it is not their fault that it didn't sell, it is their fault how they handled my paper work. I had to remove 9 !!! staples from my V5 and service booklet. All of them were pristine beforehand. They have written on the outside of the service booklet, not only the number plate but also an internal code. Book looks not tatty. They've removed the tax disc and with it the tax disc holder (magnetic one). I can't say I am impressed with how they handle other's...

I'm not BCA's biggest fan, but I have to say I'm sure you would prefer a few staples to losing your docs, or some tramp stealing your tax disc.

Although British Car Auction auctions are geared towards dealers (and more than 90% of the bidders appear to fall into this category) private buyers are made most welcome.

Then ask BCA staff working in the saleroom.
BCA's are a massive, slick, operation but will give you every assistance if you...

Nice review, very insightful. I agree, it is advisable to do some serious homework before attempting to purchase at a car auction. Find useful tips here:

For a first time experience of the auction environment I was pleasantly shocked at the fantastic range of cars and the professionalism of the staff at BritishCarAuction.com - with auction companies having an "arther daily" reputation, I wasn't particuallarly keen to get a car in this way when I had been used to buying from dealerships.
The staff were very friendly and explained the jargon talk (not that there was much), provided me with a full listings of cars by email (no other company...
