544519 2007-04-26 12:01:00 Has any of the assembled multitude got any tales to tell (good or bad) about selling a car through Turners Auctions? I've got a car to sell and it is one of the options I am considering. Tony (4941)
544520 2007-04-26 20:30:00 My experience was abut three and a half years ago.

Gave them a Honda Accord (1996) to sell because the car dealership I was buying from was giving me a crap trade-in.

In the end I got what the car dealership would have given me anyway.

The thing that p****d me off was that Turners pointed out that the car needed a new clutch TO THE BUYERS ONLY.

If I had known this I would probably have spent the $300 to get if replaced ad maybe have gotten a better price.

544521 2007-04-26 20:30:00 I haven't sold a car with them but I did take a car to them to ask what they thought they could get for it at auction.
They said about $10,000 and then you have to pay commission etc on top of that so I would have only ended up with about $9500 I think.
I ended up putting the car on TradeMe and got $12000 for it.
