this confirms what i saw at auction...

At BCA Blackbushe in Surrey i saw a 1999 T Reg GLS with 24k miles (bull) interior was shagged, rear bench in the footwell. Most seats in very poor state, badly worn steering wheel suggested 150k miles +

Scratched bonnet really badly, front and rear tow point covers missing, bodywork had loads of dents... how much did it go for?

£795!! Shocked

Its not worth anything in bits, as its a GLS... no climate no nothing... Undecided

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Aug 2006 at 22:17 Excatly the reason i dont go to evening/weekend auctions.....too many 'joe public' around to push up to silly prices Go during the day...when most are at work and you mostly only get dealers.....more sensible prices

Aug 2006 at 22:23 i would't mind seeing a police auction... interesting to see how much '02 or '03 plate plod omegas go for... being the last ones wonder if they had any extras. I saw a 52 plate plod omega with CDX alloys from a dealer.... which had come direct from the police.

Aug 2006 at 22:28 Agree about daytime auctions - i am off to one on Wednesday afternoon when the office jockeys are at the ....office - no offence to anyone i am one myself on normal wednesday afternoons!! will take a couple of grand and would expect something easy to sell and low maintinance. But its a lottery so you never know!!

Aug 2006 at 10:57 local to me there are various % to be added in. i generally go with £100 per £1000 of the sale price to keep me right. For a car like that - if it was in Glasgow auctions, it would end up costing you about £650
