Anyone with access to BCA Auction View?

Melchior · 09-07-2009, 01:15 PM

Hello,

I've put my car in for a private sale at Blackbushe but don't have Auction View to see it being marketed.

If you have Auction View can you confirm you can see 2007 A8L 4.2 FSI Sport in Black for sale in this coming Monday's (13/07/09) top car sale?

Taaa...

How much are you hoping for?

What are you planning on getting (or have already got?)

Melchior · 09-07-2009, 03:21 PM

I was given an estimate (about 3 weeks ago) by BCA of 22 -> 23.5K with a recommended reserve of 23.5K. I've entered it with a reserve of £22,750.

I've just been e-mailed the photos that BCA are using to market it. I have to say that I was dissapointed that they were taken before it was valeted. If I knew they were going to market with photos of it dirty, I'd have made sure it was pristine before I dropped it off rather than pay BCA for their "showroom condition" valet service...

However, nothing ventured, nothing gained. The worst that can happen is that it gets nowhere near the reserve and I get the car back.

We've currently got 6 vehicles (2 cars, 2 bikes, 2 camper vans) in the household, so I'm trimming down for the moment...

In fairness to BCA, after I mentioned my dissapointment with the marketing shots, they were quick to re-take them post valet, and upload the new shots. It's looking much better now.

I'll post back here after the auction with the result of the bidding...

If you still need confirmation, do let me know and I can probably sort this out for you - work colleague has access and he always goes there so...

Thanks for the offer.

BCA have now forwarded me a copy of the ad, so I no longer need the confirmation.

Glasses online books it as £23k as a SWB with average (24k miles). Not sure what LWB does to the price. Best of luck with the sale.

Cheers Merlot.

Mine's @ 23K Miles so that's a useful guide price

One of my customers is Manheim, and they where telling me a couple of weeks that 99% of stuff is moving, and at book or above, so you should be ok.

Similar cars to yours are way more than 23 at dealers, so fingers crossed for you.
