I think the minimum that BCA charge as a buyer's premium is £100.
The price isn't according to the value of the car - it's in a sliding 'range'. For example, you'd pay £100 buyer's premium on a car that cost £25 up to about £100.
The next stage would be £101 to about £199 when the buyers fee would be something like £125.
Three years ago at BCA I bought a 1998 4 litre jeep for £250. Plus buyer's premium of £125 ..
18 months ago I bought a 30,000 mile Cing at auction .. I think the total cost with buyer's premium came to around £500.
Six weeks ago I bought another jeep at the auction. 2001, 4 litre, mint condition with 60,000 on the clock and full service history. £1900 plus £347 buyer's premium.
BCA is geared up towards the motor trade - a registered dealer/trader pays a reduced buyer's fee than a private buyer.
does.
Having said that, you can still save quite a bit of money when compared to dealer/private sales.
Here's a link to a classic car auction site (I could really see myself driving around in that Humber Sceptre or Riley 1.5..)
