    Hi Guys, was thinking of buying a car in the U.K. Can anyone recommed a good car auction / dealer over there. Currently driving a Vectra Diesel Estate with 140K on clock, Even thought I love this car, I think it's time to change. Was thinking about an Diesel Avensis / BMW 320D. Would appreciate any advice.

    Check out the BCA website, they are the biggest source of fleet vehicles in the Uk. I bought a car through them in 2006 and was v. happy.
    You can bid online now I believe. I think that you have to pay a small amt now to fully access their web site. Well worth a look

    Cheers Mikehn. They seem to have a lot of auction sites, where did you purchase if you don't mind me asking.

    A friend of mine bought a car through an Irish company called www.ukcars.ie recently and he was over the moon with the car and the price, he didn't have to do anything, they took control of the whole process, he just told them what car(s) he was interested in and the price he wanted to pay and they found the car he was looking for in the UK, they inspected the car in the UK, imported it into Ireland and even delivered the car to his door. I'm changing my car in a few months and after seeing how little hassle it was for him I know where my first call will be.
