Surely cant be as easy as that? Think you need VAT numbers and other details first

Getting a BCA account is not just as simple as ringing up and asking for it lol You have to prove your a legitimate trader, even then you'll start off on a basic card with big big fee's

When you say big fees do you mean a % on top of each car you buy? Feel free to pm me any info Jason.

it hard
My brother sold his about a month ago after 6 months of trying. It was a lower miler and pure scrap, he wouldnt go near another. Cheap nasty build quality, interior light fell out, window switches fell out, dash rattled, electrics had a mind of their own, clutch was horrible, did little over 30mpg for a derv, all in all it was a terrible car. I personally would avoid, he let it go for about 3200 in the end to get shot of it

That's not what the advert say!!
Rule number 1 never believe a seller!!

All but giving up on it now. If i have to search through another car website ill cry. Just as much bargains to find this side of the water it seems

Soulless pos
are you looking a cheap one or a good one. If you want the car and want a decent one your going to have to pay for it.

Well I've a flight booked for the weekend to (hopefully) pick up a wee motor for the missus. Compared to NI prices there is still £500+ to be saved even after taking into account flight and ferry and petrol.

@Jas Lad - do you buy much through BCA? They seem to have quite a selection.. Wondering would this be a possible solution to me getting an A4 Avant, or something like that.. Is it possible to see what the cars have sold for after the auction, to guage prices?

Anything I've been watching on BCA goes for retail money!
I've no idea how traders make a decent turn buying from BCA.
