    Hi all,
    Anyone have any good or bad stories about these auctions? I got a "snapshot" of car sales in june and there seemed to be some pretty good deals - I'd be tempted but a bit sceptical at the same time!

    Visited it once out of curiosity. One for those in the trade me thinks, you need to know what you're about. Alternatively a spot to pick up a sub E1000 banger.

    What you see is what you get... check the grading on the cars and be prepared to pay the 5% fee + the €180 background check fee on top of what you buy...

    A lot of the cars are fleet and finance repo's so they can be great deals. I know someone who picked up a 05 BMW 530 M-Tech, black with cream leather and less than 20k on the clock. It was a finance repo and he got it for €38,000

    Would this be an ideal place to go to pick up a first time banger car for cheap?

    According to the email I got, a '95 1.5lsi civic went for €450! But that seemed to be the only cheap (sub 1k) car on the sheet.
