🚗 LOOK WHAT WE’VE BOUGHT THIS WEEK!

Another cracking result for a CABS customer — this time a 2020/70 Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost 95 ST-Line Edition with just 26,541 miles.

💰 Bought for, including auction fees: £9,034.40
🏷️ Typical retail price: £10,995
✅ Saving: £1,960.60

And that’s the point of Car Auction Buying Service.

Rather than waiting for a dealer to buy the vehicle, prepare it, advertise it and add their retail margin, we help private buyers access vehicles through the trade-only auction market.

You tell us what you’re looking for, we source suitable vehicles, provide the auction information and reports, advise you on sensible bidding levels and bid on your behalf.

You don’t need to be looking for anything exotic either. From a Fiesta like this to premium SUVs, EVs and prestige cars, the principle is exactly the same:

BUYING BETTER FOR LESS.

Thinking about changing your car this September? With the plate change bringing more vehicles back into the trade, now is a very good time to start looking.

We are looking for someone to join Car Auction Buying Service on a part-time, fully remote basis.

We’re growing, and one of the biggest pressures on our time is the daily vehicle sourcing — searching BCA, Manheim and other trade platforms for cars that match individual customer requirements.

So we're looking for a Part-Time Vehicle Sourcing Assistant.

This would suit someone with previous motor trade experience who understands cars, specifications, mileage, condition grades and how to read vehicle listings properly.

It isn’t a sales role and there’s no cold calling.

The role would mainly involve:

Searching trade auction platforms for suitable vehicles
Matching stock against customer requirements
Checking age, mileage, specification and condition
Preparing suitable vehicles for me to review
Updating our CRM and keeping customer searches organised

Initially, I’m looking at around 10 hours per week, ideally spread across weekday mornings.

£15 per hour
Fully remote

We are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in areas such as:

Car sales | Vehicle buying | Dealership administration | Fleet | Leasing | Vehicle auctions | Used-car operations

What matters most to us is that you are reliable, methodical, comfortable working independently and genuinely understand cars.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in — or you know someone who would be ideal — please share this post.

THE 76 PLATE IS HERE — AND THAT’S GOOD NEWS IF YOU’RE BUYING USED. 🚗

September is one of the busiest months of the year for the motor trade.

New cars are being registered.
Part-exchanges are coming back.
Lease and fleet vehicles are being replaced.
And fresh stock is starting to filter into the trade.

A lot of those cars will eventually end up on dealer forecourts — usually after the dealer has bought them, prepared them and added their margin.

So why not try to buy earlier in the process?

At Car Auction Buying Service, we give private buyers access to the trade-only auctions used by the motor trade.

We can:

Search the stock for vehicles that match your requirements
Send you suitable cars for consideration
Explain the auction condition and mechanical reports
Advise you on realistic values
Bid on your behalf

September doesn’t mean every car suddenly becomes cheap, but with more stock moving through the trade, it can mean more choice and more opportunities to buy well.

Vehicle searches start with our £49 Search Commitment Deposit, which is deducted from our final bidding fee if you go on to buy through us.

If you’re thinking of changing your car, September is a very good time to start looking.

THE GUIDE SAYS £18,250… BUT IS IT ACTUALLY WORTH £18,250? 🤔

This is exactly the sort of question we ask before we bid on a car for a customer.

Today we’ve been looking at this 2023 Ford Puma ST-Line Vignale Automatic:

✅ Just 11,536 miles
✅ Grade 1 condition
✅ 155PS Petrol/Hybrid
✅ Automatic
✅ Direct from Motability Operations

The industry valuation guide puts the retail value at £18,250.

But we don’t just take a guide price at face value.

Before deciding what the car is worth at auction, we checked comparable cars currently being advertised for sale. The retail market is broadly sitting between £17,500 and £18,600, so in this case the guide is actually pretty accurate.

That then allows us to work backwards and decide what represents a sensible auction purchase price.

For this Puma, we’d ideally be looking to buy somewhere around £15,500–£15,850 hammer.

Because this is the important bit:

Winning the auction isn’t the goal.
Buying at the right price is.

There’s absolutely no point getting carried away in the bidding and paying so much that the saving disappears.

That’s one of the key parts of what we do at Car Auction Buying Service — finding the right vehicles, checking what they’re genuinely worth in the retail market and then bidding with a clear ceiling in mind.

🚗 The car at your local dealer may have come from the same auction.

A lot of people still hear the word “auction” and immediately think it means risky, unwanted or poor-quality cars.

But here’s the reality…

Thousands of perfectly good used cars are bought every week by main dealers and independent garages from places like BCA, Manheim and other trade-only disposal platforms.

Many are:

✅ Ex-lease vehicles
✅ P*P and finance returns
✅ Company cars
✅ Main dealer part-exchanges
✅ Low-mileage fleet vehicles

The dealer buys the car at trade price, prepares it, puts it on the forecourt and adds their margin.

And that same car could then appear on AutoTrader for £2,000, £3,000, £5,000 or more above what it cost to buy through the trade.

That’s where Car Auction Buying Service comes in.

We help private buyers access the same trade-only marketplace used by dealerships.

We search for the right vehicle, assess the auction reports, look at condition, mileage, specification and values, and then bid on your behalf.

You’re effectively getting much closer to the point where the dealer buys the car — before the retail margin is added.

So next time you see a shiny used car sitting on a dealership forecourt, remember…

There’s a very good chance it came through exactly the same trade channels we use every day.

Why pay retail if you don’t have to?

WHY I SOMETIMES TELL CUSTOMERS… “DON’T BID.”

People sometimes assume that because I run a Car Auction Buying Service, my job is simply to find a car, bid on it and get it bought.

It isn’t.

My job is to help customers buy the right car, at the right price.

And sometimes the best advice I can give is:

“Leave this one alone.”

That might be because:

• The condition report throws up something I don’t like
• The mechanical inspection isn’t comprehensive enough
• The service history raises questions
• An EV battery report isn’t good enough
• The cosmetic damage is worse than it first appears
• Or simply because the bidding has gone too high

This last one is particularly important.

Auctions can get competitive. Two or three determined buyers can quickly push a car beyond sensible trade money.

At that point, I’m not interested in “winning” the auction.

Winning the auction isn’t the objective. Buying the right car at the right price is.

Because our bidding fee covers unlimited bids until we successfully purchase a vehicle, there’s no pressure to chase a particular car.

If the price gets silly, we stop.

If the inspection worries me, we stop.

If I think there’s a better opportunity coming, we wait.

Sometimes the best car I buy for a customer…

is the one I tell them NOT to buy.

That’s the difference between simply having access to a car auction and having someone with years of motor-trade experience on your side.

🚗 LOOK WHAT WE’VE BOUGHT THIS WEEK!

This week we secured this superb Volvo XC40 2.0 D3 Momentum for one of our customers.

💰 Bought for: £11,115.40 including auction fees
🏷️ Typical Retail: £14,995
🔥 Saving: £3,880 against typical retail

That’s nearly £4,000 left in our customer’s pocket simply by buying through the trade rather than walking onto a dealer forecourt.

And this is exactly what Car Auction Buying Service is all about.

We give private buyers access to the same trade-only auctions used by motor dealers, help identify suitable vehicles, assess the auction reports and valuations, and then bid on the customer’s behalf.

You don’t have to be a motor trader to benefit from trade buying.

Why pay retail if you don’t have to?

If you're thinking about changing your car, tell us what you're looking for and we'll see what’s available through the trade.

🚗 USED CAR PRICES ARE RISING AGAIN…

According to the latest Auto Trader figures, the average used car is now advertised at £17,106 — and prices are actually rising year-on-year again.

But here's the thing…

The retail market isn't the only place you can buy your next car.

Every week thousands of vehicles are sold through trade-only auctions from leasing companies, finance houses, fleets, manufacturers and major dealer groups.

That's exactly where the motor trade buys much of its stock.

Car Auction Buying Service gives private buyers access to that market too.

We search the trade auctions, send you suitable vehicles, explain the condition and mechanical reports, advise what we believe the car is worth and bid on your behalf.

You're effectively buying before the dealer has added their retail margin.

And we're not talking about obscure cars either. BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Volvo, Tesla, Range Rover, Ford, Hyundai, Kia… right through to specialist and prestige vehicles.

With the September plate change approaching, the next few weeks should also see plenty of stock continuing to work its way back into the trade market.

So if you're thinking about changing your car this autumn, don't automatically start on Auto Trader.

Start by telling me what you're looking for and what you'd like to spend.

You might be surprised at what your budget can actually buy.

WHY PAY DEALER PRICES? 🚗💷

When a motor trader buys a car, they have to allow for preparation costs, warranty, advertising, staff, premises and, of course, their profit margin.

You don’t.

Car Auction Buying Service gives private buyers access to the same trade-only auction market used by dealerships, helping you buy your next vehicle before all of those retail costs are added on.

We don’t simply throw you into an auction and hope for the best.

We help you:

✅ Find suitable vehicles
✅ Understand condition and mechanical reports
✅ Compare auction values against retail prices
✅ Set sensible maximum bids
✅ Bid on your behalf
✅ Guide you through the entire process from search to collection

And because you’re buying for yourself rather than buying to resell for a profit, you can often afford to bid more than a trader would and still save thousands against comparable forecourt prices.

We purchase 200+ vehicles every year for customers, from everyday family cars through to prestige, performance, hybrid and electric vehicles.

If you’re considering changing your car, find out what your budget could buy through the trade.

🚗 CAN YOU BAG A BARGAIN IN AUGUST?

Quite possibly… yes.

August can be an interesting month in the motor trade.

☀️ Some buyers are away on holiday.
📉 Competition can be lighter on certain vehicles.
🆕 Others are holding off, waiting for the September plate change.

And that can create opportunities.

While everyone else is waiting, we’re still searching the major trade-only auction houses and our trade contacts every day, looking for the right cars at the right money.

The important thing with auction buying isn’t simply finding the cheapest car.

It’s finding a good car, buying it at the right price and making sure the saving compared with retail actually makes sense.

That’s exactly what we do.

We help members of the public access vehicles that would normally only be available to the motor trade, guiding you through everything from sourcing and vehicle reports to valuations, bidding and collection.

Want us looking for your next car this August?

Our £49 Priority Search Deposit gets your vehicle search underway.

✅ Tell us exactly what you’re looking for
✅ We search auction and trade-only stock
✅ We send suitable vehicles for your consideration
✅ You decide what we bid — and your maximum price
✅ We keep searching until we find the right opportunity

If we cannot locate a suitable vehicle matching the agreed brief, the £49 is refundable. If you go ahead and buy through us, it is deducted from our bidding fee.
