The Ford Focus for £200 was an absolute bargain, sound was good. Those cars were built really well, I know, I have one. And so cheap to keep on the road, cheap insurance, cheap tyres, parts from EBay and Amazon and they are so so reliable. Don’t say I don’t know about cars as used to build my own rally cars and I’ve had 7 Saab, 8 BMW, some really awful Mercedes etc etc. Don’t dismiss an older car because of the reg. I know ULEZ etc but if you don’t do ULEZ there can be super bargains to be had.

Exactly... My 2008 Volvo (S80 D5) has been an incredible machine - cost me £3k with 105k miles on the clock and it's not put a foot wrong... Heavy on wear and tear items yes, but no trouble at all.

yup, pre 2017 cheap road tax stuff still sells,the diesels not so much because of ULEZ,but the cars are sound enough. post 2017 there's not a lot of difference in price because the overall running costs are higher,you actually get a better deal on an ex fleet 5-6 years old if you're prepared to pay the extra road tax. PS online bidding should be banned, you don't get a full picture of what's up with the car unless you're there in person.I know they do it for extra interest/crank up the prices, and it the bidder's due diligence to ensure the car is satisfactory, but who does??.. They should.......but who does??

Thankfully this doesn’t seem to be the case at other auctions (Aston Barclay), we’ve built up a good account with BCA (Platinum), however for the first time in many years, we’re sourcing our stock from other auctions.
