I dont have a hookup but I always heard copart isn't good. what you see in the picture is not always what you get.

That's pretty much expected when you purchase a car without looking at it thoroughly in person and relying on internet pictures. They do have a disclaimer that they describe cars as accurate as they can but suggest consumer comes in to take a look. My first and past car was a retitled salvaged vehicle and it was a ROCK...never had any issues with it. My dad also had two salvaged vehicles(both great) in the past and looking for his third. I was looking at a CLS550 with 30k miles and backend damage..it sold for 11k and had about 7-9k damage. If you plan to keep the car till it dies..its a perfect buy.


and I got your pm..I'll be sure to let you know.

Public can buy at Copart now and you don't have to have a dealer license to bid at Copart. Copart has rolled out a program with official resellers who allow you to register with them and bid under their license.

Check out http://AutoBidMaster.com -- they are a copart reseller. They provide automatic access to buying at Copart. Registration is $50 for one car purchase, or $150 for unlimited purchases through out the year. Then they charge a transaction fee of $200 on each item bought. Pretty good deal imho if you want to try yourself in buying at Copart.

I have a dealer license and auto body and salvaged license and I can bid on any car u want at Coparts or any salvaged or regular auction u want. Not just any dealer can bid on salvaged cars, because of the state and federal laws and the risk involved, if u or anybody want to bid on some of these cars that have minor damage and save over 30-40 retail price just PM me I also major in buying Mercedez cls 550's with little buper and light damage and fix them up and I sell them $10,000 below cost sometimes $15,000 below cost. I also drive a 2008 CLS 550 with a front Amg bumper and extra chrome details. Some people complain about salvaged cars, cause of the title, but do u know how many **** hole houses have been remodeled with mold in them lol, if the car has no frame damage and has just the lights and bumper and fender and hood, and has no engine or transmision then it is worth to save $15,000

Do you think that'd be a good place to buy a car just for an engine to horse around with? I couldn't care less about the body, but I've been thinking about something like this to learn more about building an engine.

If I put it back together and it still doesn't work, well, it never worked in the first place and was (hopefully) a good learning experience.

You can buy vehicles with clean title at Copart. You don't even need a dealer license. I bought a car for my wife at Copart with clean title through Easyexport.us for quite reasonable price. Vehicles at Copart are sold "where is as is". So it can really cause some problems buying damaged cars. But if you are looking for a salvaged vehicle Copart is a great possibility to buy one for quite reasonable price.
