As above, would you buy a van from an auction not knowing how it drives etc ?? I'm after a van of some sort (probably 1999/2000 astra van) but not sure if i should be wairy about buying without test driving (due to vans having a hard life etc....).

Also, does anyone know any decent commercial auctions in the essex area? Chelmsford Car Auctions doesnt seem to do commercial going by their website!

i dont see any problems you can have a good nosey at the cars before they come through and can hear it running but there is some dodgey cars there, my mate bought a run around T reg punto with 39k on the clock for Ł875 and its minty mint for a run around.
