With dealer forecourts tied up with inventory there are killings to be made at auctions ATM.
Avoid BCA & eBay and buy "direct from main dealer" cars. Bedroom dealers on eBay have just bought the car at auction & taken it to the local mini valet place, second hand dealers (and private individuals) are just selling what is not economically viable to fix.
I have bought 3 highly desirable cars simply because they were so damn cheap I couldn't refuse.
Oddly, I am mostly please with an H.R. Owen supplied Volvo 2005 s80 D5 IV 1 owner with 32K. I paid £600 including fees, no advisories and all services by a Volvo Main Dealer. This is not one of the aforementioned highly desirable cars, but it will last longer than I will. I was hoping it would give me something to do but it is flawless.
If you aim for luxo barges and have a manufacture specific OBD2 reader, you van pick up some serious bargains.

Originally posted by Paddy View PostI bought an old Peugeot Partner with a/c on eBay and had it delivered included in the deal for £700. One previous owner used it for cycle deliveries therefore it was very clean. It has the old 1.9d engine, no turbo, no cat, no depollution rubbish and it is so chunky and solid and a joy to drive.
That's a far cry from Contractor Lifestyle threads we had around 20 years ago...

“ Wealthy snap up second-hand supercars after holidays cancelled
Sales under £150,000 rise as pandemic halts exotic trips, says luxury dealer HR Owen
Wealthy buyers snapped up second hand supercars last year after exotic holiday plans were torpedoed by the pandemic, according to the UK’s largest dealer of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Bentleys.
Prices of some used luxury models fell because of the coronavirus crisis, attracting buyers, said the boss of HR Owen, which also deals in Aston Martin, Bugatti, Rolls-Royce and Maserati brands.
“We saw a significant increase in the sale of used cars in the region of not more than £150,000,” chief executive Ken Choo told the Financial Times. “People said I cannot travel to the Bahamas, so I will buy a used Ferrari or Lambo instead.”
