Buying From Auctions

[Darren kearns]

Anyone any advice about bying a T6 highline kombi 180 bhp Dsg probably cost in region of 21000 pounds mileage is 24000 warranted looks like a nice clean van any pros and cons to this how do I know the previous owner wasn’t a joyrider Darren

You don’t,
But that is why it’s cheap?

I'm sure it's a nice van and all that, but one does wonder why a 24k mileage Kombi Highline would be at an auction in the first place. Something like this should be on a main dealers forecourt. What year is it? Is it a weird colour or anything like that?

Is VAT to be added to the end price?

That’s the engine that drinks oil and spontaneously combusts, the chances are quite low but what if ?? As above I imagine there’s a reason it’s at an auction

Depends what auction, most of the time they are being sold by vw financial services which i was led to believe just at the end of their lease so likely nothing wrong just traded in for a newer model.
I looked a couple of years ago but they all seemed to go for more than I expected and private buyers pay much larger fees than traders so didn't really make it worth it.

Yes, that's a good shout, It's the newer 204 too

For the money hes asking its a great spec

Auction fees will be the killer, just not worth it. You'd be better off buying private. The van itself may have been sold to the like of webuyanyvan (if it's at BCA)
