Are car auctions worth it in the UK?
Don’t bother, auction cars seem to be as expensive as they are on the open market these days, plus you get quite a lot of cars going to auction as they have problems. You’ll also find it hard to compete for the exlease cars, as the trade love them. Yes, used cars at auction are usually cheaper than buying from a dealer or private seller. That’s because many dealers buy cars at auction, then resell them at a higher price to make profit. However, lower prices aren’t always guaranteed.
