The only reason a Scirocco would be at an auction is because there is something dramatically wrong with it these vehicles sell like hot cakes and no trader is going to put a good retail car in an auction.The buyers premium makes the price you will pay almost the same as if you bought retail at a VAG agent plus you would get the added benifit of a garauntee.

The ones I have seen are from VW financial and not a trader. These must be either reposed car or car on lease that has finished?

Very few buy them at auction most come direct from leasing companies those that end up at auction are normally the chaff but what do I know part of my family have been successfully in the Motor business since just after the war and still are.

VW direct are I think part of VW financing any cars they dispose of through auctions are ex lease normally high milers and outside the Main dealers age limit but Sciroccos if they are ok are bought well before they get to auction good secondhand ones are like rocking horse manure.Anyway you pay your money and takes your chance at that sort of money I would want dealer protection.

Utter twaddle. For example, pretty much all used BMW's which end up as approved used cars go through either BCA (Nottingham) or Manheim (Colchester). Same applied to VWFS, all Volvo management cars, Audi closed sales, BMW finance, Alphabet (BMW Finance) etc. You must know this if you're in the motor trade. As for leasing companies, some have a 100% auction policy, some do sell out direct. Same applies to dealer groups with their px's. If you know which have which policy you know which sale sections to look in.

We are talking the difference between main and traders who sell older cars anything that gets put through an auction has a history may be good maybe bad mostly bad you should read what has been written instead of throwing your toys out of the pram like a naughty baby.

The OP made it quite clear he/she was talking about main line dealer group and manufacturer financial services sales - not Friday night local tat any old thing auctions. You must know what sort of sales they were referring to, e.g. the VWFS one at Nottingham for example. Many franchised dealers have to buy their late plate stock from these sources.

Hey guys...seems I opened up some heated discussion. I spoke to a guy who knows the buyer from major North West car supermarket....and as I said they do buy a lot of cars from auction but I do agree because they are big player can go direct to some companies for ex lease etc. So is mixed bag. The main point is...if it is from VWFS or similar should be okay as they need to move stock as they are not dealers and as for needing main dealer protection...what the hell is a warranty for.....main dealers won't cover you for the basics.

Well after all this chat I cannot make up my mind if to auction or not. Have contact that can get me car with lower fees now BUT still not sure.

If anyone has prices this MONTH for VW Sciroccos sold at auction that may help me more. I Know book and BCA auction book prices etc BUT the real hard prices will help me more.

Thanks for that...this is exactly what I needed. Depends on the day I suppose as well. Am looking at around max 15k all in. May have chance but more than likely only a 09 or 59. No 59 coming up though. Don't really want a 09.

Looks like this discussion got some interesting opinions

Thanks for all comments and help ...even the negative ones

BCA and others run closed auctions specifically for the big leasing companies, manufacturer "management" cars and big rentals companies - it's how all these cars are disposed of initially - some will go on dealers forecourts and others go straight back into public auction.
