Saw this last week...Interesting..Anyone here ever go thru and pick one up to part out? This would be a good car to do. The Hood and Front Fascia would get your investment back...

Do you actually get a good deal on the cars? I wanted to pick up a salvage F250 and the three I bid on went up to like $15,000.. About $3500 more than a non salvage F250 of the same year. One salvage 06 went for like $18,000 with 150k, I sold my 04 with 140k for $10,000... I just think this sites a scam. I tried to bid on a couple trans am's also and they both ran up to like $6,000 with over 100k miles. It's stupid.

Stuff like that happens but, if you put a max on what you want to spend then your set. You win some and you lose some at the end..

I've seen some cars "JMAC" bought for a hell of a deal and some he might have paid a little over for but he hasn't lost anything YET!! lol

Bringing up an old thread, but what the hell...

I've been researching this Copart thing for a little while now and was wondering if anybody here has any first hand experience about their processes, fees etc. I've registered on their site, but haven't really found any exact info as to what it will cost in the end to buy a car.

If I was to win a car for, say, $1000, how much more are they tacking on top of that? I know you need to pay a deposit and all that stuff, but what all other fees are there after the sale? Is the $1000 car going to become a $1500 car? Or more? Maybe less...?

if you would have asked this back in May I could have read all all the info from the sheet I had from them, off the top of my head I know there was a Tittle Transfer fee, and a storage fee if the vehicle was not picked up the day of sale, and some other stuff...
