BCA aim to make the auction process a little less daunting to those new to buying at auction with these top tips:

1. Do your homework – know what you want before you go to an auction

2. Terms and conditions – familiarise yourself with these so that you don’t get surprised later on

3. Don’t rush – arrive early and take time to examine the vehicle that interests you

4. Do ask questions – auction staff will be happy to help

5. Check the car – it’s up to you to check the car’s condition, so examine it prior to entering the auction hall and listen to the engine running as it is driven into the auction hall

6. Budget – set a limit and stick to it

7. Be flexible – if you miss your first choice don’t give up

8. Auctioneer’s description – this is legally binding so listen carefully

9. Bid clearly – don’t wink or tap your nose, simply raise your hand or catalogue
