In today's video, we're at G3 Auctions in Yorkshire. Their Castleford site is absolutely amazing, everything is brand new, purpose built and high tech. You'd hope so, seeing as they've invested £12,000,000 into the place!
I was really curious to see how the auction hall runs and what the pricing would be like. I was pleasantly surprised in both regards. The dual lane hall made for fast paced bidding and I didn't get bored like I do at some auction days. Prices were really competitive too, in fact I'm kicking myself for not putting my hand up more! But I'll be back!
PT2 next Thursday! In the meantime, check out the G3 links below!

Just wanted too thank you for the awesome content and helpful advice. Pulled the trigger on an A5 3.0 tdi 14 plate last week after using vehicle score and brushing up on knowledge from your channel . Very happy with the purchase 👍🏼

You did the right thing with the Evoque . Manuals are not popular and are often for the lower powered 2wd version. As a 2015 it is unlikely to meet the Euro 6 emissions which it why it may be in the auction. Insurance is up c. £1000 to due to theft issues.

@@topfuelteddy I ended up trading it in for £5.5. Only had 2 other people make contact after trading wanting to buy. I’ve used a clio as runabout since 2005, and had them in the family since 1996. I’ve driven every shape and while they’re definitely less troublesome nowadays (the older ones did have various electrical gremlins, fly wheel sensors on the Mk2 for example). The newer ones have unfortunately lost the charm they once had. They were light weight and even the base models cornered very well. The mk2 probably being the best. Gradually they got heavier and started using much cheaper shock absorbers, which really affected the handling on country lanes.
