How To Buy

Viewing is available on the day of sale from 9am onwards.

All vehicles are ‘sold as seen’ unless otherwise stated at the point of sale by the Auctioneer.

Once a bid has been made, you have entered into a contract with St Austell Bay Motor Auctions where your bid may not be withdrawn.  You will be asked to go to the Cash Office to give your name and address and minimum £200 deposit which secures the vehicle.   The balance must be paid by 12 noon the following day and then you may take the vehicle away.  All payments can be made by Credit Card, Debit Card, Cash, Bankers Draft or Building Society Cheque.

Some vehicles are sold provisionally, this means that there is a reserve price on the vehicle that your bid has not met.  We shall contact the vendor immediately and submit your bid.  If your bid is unsuccessful, then your deposit of £200 will be refunded.  If successful, then the deposit is deducted from the price and the balance is payable by 12 noon the following day.

There is a Buyer’s Protection fee payable on each vehicle bought. You are indemnified against any vehicle you buy at St Austell Bay Motor Auctions being subject to outstanding hire purchase payment, any finance which may be outstanding and it also indemnifies you if the vehicle has been stolen prior to you buying it.

St Austell Bay Motor Auctions offer a delivery service.  Please ask for further details.

Undercover auction hall and refreshments available.
