If you're eager to sell your car at an auction event make sure that you make it look as good as possible! Take the time to valet it so that it looks just as good as the array of other vehicles present at the auction. Draw up a list of your car's relevant features like power steering so that buyers can easily access all the information they need on the motor before they make a bid. If you don't want the car to be sold too cheaply, inform the auctioneer that you want to hit a reserve price beforehand. For all the thrifty buyers out there who want to make their money go as far as possible, pose questions and get as many answers as is possible from the registered keeper of the vehicle regarding mileage, the number of previous keepers or general maintenance concerns. Do some research if you can and try to ascertain how much the model would sell for if it were privately sold. Start your bid low and don't venture beyond your limit to avoid overspending.
