The excitement with car auctions online is that buyers can get carried away with the process and suddenly find themselves buying a car having only seen a badly taken photo. So, before you start, have a clear idea about the type of car and amount of money you can afford. Check the manufactures” website; find out if there are any particular problems associated with your chosen model.

Think about distance and how you will collect the car, having to travel hundreds of miles to collect a car may also prove troublesome. Use the postcode search when hunting for a bargain on the Internet. Know how much money you have to spend and make sure you don”t get caught up in a bidding war and spend twice what you had set aside.

Be wary of offers with poor or limited photos, especially if you are not able to arrange for a personal viewing of the car before you bid. Ask questions, most sellers will have a contact address and if you have a particular query or want to see other angles, just ask. It could be that they haven”t taken the picture, as that”s where the problem lies with the car and why they are selling it. So the best advise everyone should take, is always try and view a used car before bidding.
