'As Seen' with all its faults...

Cars sold at auction can be grouped into two broad categories. Those sold 'AS SEEN' and those sold ALL GOOD and with NO MAJOR MECHANICAL DEFECTS. Generally all the older and cheaper cars are sold 'As Seen', although some companies and utilities make it their policy to offer all their vehicles in this category, no matter what their age or worth. When you buy a car 'As Seen' you buy it with all its faults, whatever and however serious they may be. Not all vehicles sold in this way are duffers, but common sense tells you that any car sold 'As Seen' will have to be very carefully inspected indeed before it goes under the hammer.
