Wheeler Dealers host Mike Brewer has warned used car buyers could be caught out by a simple mistake when buying a second-hand vehicle or classic model.<\/p>\n

The TV star stressed road users should be aware of buying a vehicle with no warranty in place as the purchase could dramatically backfire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Having no warranty in place means motorists are not covered if anything happens to their car after purchase.<\/p>\n

It could leave buyers with a worthless hunk of metal if an issue develops just minutes after the transaction is complete.<\/p>\n

The Wheeler Dealers star stressed the scenario could become a major problem for those purchasing their second-hand vehicle at car auctions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking to Car Dealer Magazine on YouTube, Mike explained: \u201cBe careful what you’re looking at, at the auction, if a car is sold with no warranty that means when the hammer goes down it’s yours.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you drive off the forecourt and the engine falls out, they’ll hand you a shovel until you move it off their forecourt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many auctions will offer cars \u2018sold as seen\u2019 meaning they cannot be returned once the model hits the hammer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the nature of an auction makes it difficult to conduct thorough checks on older models.\u00a0<\/p>\n
