Default Car auction question... what would you get?

Hypothetical question....

Suppose you wanted to nip down to the car auctions with the sole intention of buying a car there which you could then sell on again fairly quickly for a good bit more than you bought it.

What make / model would be the best for this ie what are the current auction bargains that are actually worth a good bit more privately? Ex taxi Octavia? Ex fleet Vectra etc?

Thinking about it in terms of avoiding depreciation when coming to sell later.

Cheers!

Small shoppers? I always remember when old 1.1 Fiestas were the same price as old Granada 2.8 Ghias.

I'd look for trade ins direct from a dealer that they've punted straight to auction. There are bargains to be had there if your careful. That's how I picked up an M reg Primera eGT with 6 months MOT for £200 last year.
