As in Jap auctions? All cars are going cheap in Japan at the moment, bear in mind the high Yen value though....

Dont know about the FTO'S but merlin have started to charge for their monthly snapshots which was FOC all along and it aint cheap. €10/ month to log into receive a PDF file of some of the prices for the previous month. total rip off

Is it still true that you can't actually test drive the car before hand, buy it as you see it?

Yeah I'd be hard pushed to buy a car before driving it. Fine if you're a mechanic and looking for parts or project. Get friendly with the staff and they may let you!
