Big stock boost for Manheim buyers

Manheim Auction Services is injecting its auction programme with an additional 2,500 vehicles thanks to an extension of its partnership with Big Motoring World Group.

The auction house has agreed terms with the car supermarket group to remarket vehicles purchased through its new consumer car buying business, bigwantsyourcar.com.

Stock – which ranges from superminis to SUVs and typically comes with warranted mileage and a V5C – will sell from Manheim Colchester every other Tuesday morning. The sale is open to physical buyers in the halls and online buyers via Simulcast.

Peter Waddell, Big Motoring World Group’s CEO comments: “Manheim remains our partner of choice as they have no plans to enter the retail space and compete against me. They are the only true partner in the remarketing space.”

Sam Panayides, Sales Director at Cox Automotive comments: “Big has proved itself time and time again to be a great vendor and the addition of yet more stock, this time via its new consumer car buying offer, is good news for our buyers. And better still, thanks to our hybrid auction programme, buyers can choose whether they buy in the lanes in Colchester or join us online, meaning this fresh stock source is available nationally.”

BigWantsYourCar launched in 2021 and aims to provide an alternative to established car buying brands by offering keen valuations, no hidden fees and home collection.
