Hi

As most of you know my car was repossed because the loser I bought it off used it as colateral on another loan....REVS etc etc (no comments about "didnt you ring REVS" please)

I would like some advice on buying the car back at the auction. It will be coming up for sale in a couple a weeks and the case manager at the bank said it either goes to auction or for public tender. (most likely auction).

Does anyone know how these auctions work, what would be the best approach for me? I have heard you can ring the auctioneer prior to auction day and purchase it before it goes under the hammer... is this true?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

oh - and if anyone in this club buys my car - I have a spear gun.... :) hahhaa

thanks everyone!!

well 1st ting you can do is

Find out exact information about the car: aution day and reserved prices etc..etc.

then go to auctioneer b4 the sale date register you as buyer... take cheque book so if you win you pay small deposite for the car etc...etc.

since you know the car you know how much its worth it eactly so set yourself a reserve price then all you have to is to bet on it.

I hope that helps.... with tricks of hackling and that... you can read about it on web site... just do general search.

Liz - find out where it's being auctioned, ring them and put in a tender. If it's above the reserve price then you should get it. Check with the auction place when you ring them - they should be able to tell you everything.

Good luck..

If you get the car, doest that mean you have had to pay DOUBLE for the car??????

So will will still owe the bank for the original loan u took to buy the car, plus the additional cost of getting it back...

Geez i feel for you, i hope it all works out for you.

Yes I will still have my original loan - but the reserve price for the car is really low, so it wont be double.

I am trying to do a deal with the bank - but they reckon they cant let me buy it back direct from them (no auction) unless the loser gives them permission - cause its his debts. Which is phucked... always protecting the bad and not the innocent

Well, firs you need to know whos the auction house...

You show up around 5 times before to study the crowd...

Than get into the process.....

See how many people detail the car...during the inspection day or two earlier.......

Set your budget...lots of people don't do this than loose double in the moment...........

dont start the bid........don't over do it with high bids....

slow the bid down to 100's or 50's.............

The best is to wait to the end and jump in last if you have a good budget..............

If you want the car than thats easy..............

Above all inspection is most important......

Calculate the fees and transportation like.....towing service or get temp licence for 24hr..........

well if you want to know more PM me :thumbsup:

Liz, the Banks usually won't do a private deal as they have a duty to get market value for the car otherwise they can face action by the original customer - market value doesn't necessarily have to be a high price though.

If you can establish market value and offer them that then they may be interested otherwise it will get too hard for them and they will auction it.

I deal with banks and auctioneers all the time (do to me being a liquidator by profession) so have had dealings with them. If you find out the who the auctioneer is PM me as I may know them (there are a few in Perth I use all the time and get on well with).

Good Luck

Al

yeah al we knew the market value that the auction place has set for the car and the reserve price they have advised the bank. thats the reason Liz went to see the bank privately before it went to auction.

hope you can help Al.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
