I'm assuming the auction house is Pickles? Pickles, at least some years ago, did have the vehicle's history and deployment history. However, as I said, that was some time back and I'm not conversant with Pickles current level of vehicle information. Furthermore, providing Pickles still does possess detailed info, it's also going to depend on the Pickles' employee you end up talking to and if that person is willing to help you out. Personally, I wouldn't do it over the phone. I'd take the time to go and have a look at the cars, work out the ones you would likely bid on and go to the office to ask some questions. Hopefully, you'll find someone who is willing to help you.

Hulk's comments about knowing someone's aunty's, uncle's, brother's, mate's, sister's boyfriend who knew................. Take it with a grain of salt. Got to have two?

Flappist certainly raises valid points re sitting idling etc. Especially true for metro cars, much less so for country LAC vehicles.
