looking on their website, it tells you when the auctions are and at what time. but is this the actual auction time or is it the time they open and you can start having a look at the vehicles?

cheers

It should be the time that they open. It's a good place to go but be very careful as the traders seem to have it sown up.

They'll be open from 9am - not all the cars will be lined up at that point.
The sales start at 12 and the run the cheapest stuff through first.

Used to work for them so if you need more info, ask

I have a mate that used to work there and have bought a couple of cars from there myself (With his help).

Apparently it has gone down hill a bit.

Exclamation

Well when I twatted my Integra I went to Blackbushe to buy a car while the insurers umed and rred my case(took 6 months)

I bought a car on the day and drove it home that afternoon, it ran flawlessly for 6 months, I then won my insurance and got the scoob. Sold the car (Citroen Xsara VTR woo-hoo) to my sister. Its still running perfectly 20,000 miles later.

Would def do it again.

Get there in plenty of time, have a good look around, go stand in the auction bays and get a feel for how things go. Pick out a few cars you fancy and set yourself a price limit(or region, depends on your school of thought)

Make sure you have the money in your bank, you can pay by DEBIT card, NOT CREDDIT card or cash if you feel the need to walk around with thousands of pounds in your sky rocket.

So bargains to be had, lots of choice and best of all they havent had some garage worker hiding all the imperfections, you get to see them in the raw state, the best way imho.
