Advice on how to buy and sell a car at auction

If you're hoping to sell your automobile at an upcoming auction ensure that it looks polished and clean! Get it car-washed so that it looks like a good buy against the array of other vehicles present at the auction. Draw up a list of your car's relevant features like power steering so that buyers can quickly get hold of the information they require on the motor before they settle on making a bid. If you need to bypass the risk of selling the car too cheaply, inform the auctioneer that you want to reach a reserve target beforehand. For all the buyers out there who haven't been to an auction before but still want to make a decent purchase, try to glean as much information as is possible from the registered keeper of the vehicle concerning service history details, any engine issues or problems related to general maintenance. Get your homework done beforehand and try to figure out how much your chosen model would sell for in the hands of a private buyer. Bid low to begin with and bear your limit in mind so you don't spend what you don't have.
