If you buy without viewing from copart you,re asking for trouble,we all ways take our own pictures including spare wheel , tools ect along with what fuel was in the vehicle as all these have a habit of going missing.Its your responsability to make sure everything is ok, this is a problem at the moment as you cannot view.If you have a problem with copart its never their fault and the small print is very good at covering their backsides,also their images are very good at hiding things,one other thing to note is at the moment you can buy undamaged cars for, much the same money and they are not recorded.allways remember a recorded vehicle is worth a lot less and can be very hard to sell.
ive been a copart member since they took over universal salvage in Scotland.one thing that annoys me how they bid the cars up themselves.i was the highest bid on one recently again and bidding stops at 11am then auction live at 12 and i was outbid inbetween that hour which is impossible.also they mislead buyers putting the retail value which they put top price so inexperienced buyers think getting a bargain and bid higher. copart should not be allowed to put the retail value as the car is not classed as retail being a write off.
Nice informative vid, any idea what P means after the lot number? Maybe a vid on the screen letters would be good too. One I've just one has, R, I and D on the screen, assume R is run D is drive no idea on the I (insurance)? 🤣🤣
Very good video. I wonder if it is only a hobby is it worth it? You have to pay initial registration fee ( i think it is £100), then every year member's fee, pay for delivery, and before you sell the car you have to insure and tax it to be legal for test drive.
Hi mate really enjoyed the video, just a quick question expanding on what you said at the end of the video, how do you find the space to do what you’re doing? Do you rent your garage/unit or is it part of your property? I want to do what you’re doing but I only have one parking space for my own car on my drive and I’d like to be able to buy a couple of cars to work on. What do you recommend storage wise so that I can work on a car indoors but don’t want the expense of a big industrial unit?
Hi mate I'm lucky enough to have a big garage I can use to do what I do but if I was in your situation I would rent a up and over garage and start out that way. Usually they dont come with power but i would buy a small generator for power and away you go. If its something you enjoy and you see yourself making a few quid out of it then later down the line you may be in a position to expand. Also depends on what area you live in... if your up north units are reasonably cheap. Good luck!
Too many rip off fees puts me off. It's a big gamble with a lot of co-part motors having serious engine issues. Buying without physically seeing the car is a big no-no.
Very informative video fully agree with ur picks here that Audi is a money pit .bread&butter cars is the safe bet ..I mean look how cheap u picked up parts for ur corsa..imagine the price of 2wings/door for a high end german audi 😥..lol cool watching u learn just hope u make money mate👍
Thanks great help. Liked and sub'd 👍 What does the P mean at the end of the window code and are there others that may come up? Thanks and keep up the good work
It amazes me that you guys can’t believe the prices at copart at the moment but it’s this type of video that’s tempting the average joe to bid on these cars!!!!. Just saying !🙂
My videos are never to tempt anyone into anything they are just a little guide to use from mistakes I've made in the past. Buying from auction Is a big risk, sometimes it pays off and sometimes it dont. That's the name of the game
Car Trader Diaries totally understandable but, but I still reckon lockdown, boredom and videos like this can sway some people into chancing there luck, therefore supply and demand ! Just found your channel and subscribed . I’d never have the balls personally to give it a try , but I certainly like watching others 👍👍
I think it means it gets a clean and photos after clean p is a insurance one they want pictures of the vehicle to decide what to do x is normal aswell as some c
Not yet mate still have the Peugeot partner to fix up the Corsa is at the bodyshop once corsa is back that will be going up for sale then I will be looking for the next one!
The first mistake someone makes when buying a car from Copart or IAA is thinking they have a SNOWBALL'S CHANCE IN HELL to actually win one of these auctions. Unless, of course, someone wants to pay as much for a salvaged vehicle as they would that same used, undamaged vehicle? There is obvious evidence of "Shill Bidding" in these auctions, artificially driving up the final price of these vehicles when they're sold. Why someone in Ghana would want to buy a completely totalled 2014 Toyota Tacoma for $9500.00 is beyond my comprehension. The fact that these companies even allow International bidding is complete and utter nonsense. I need a part for my Honda. I think I'll look for it at an auction yard in Saudia Arabia, even though I live in the USA. Makes so much sense, right? Oh, and don't get me started on how Copart likes to relist, or "reassign", vehicles for sale after the live auction has ended and the highest bidder has already won the vehicle. Then, Copart will send an email to the winning bidder, and all previous bidders, saying: "We're Sorry, This Lot Has Been Reassigned and All Previous Bids Have Been Canceled. The Lot(vehicle) Will Be Reauctioned Starting At The Previous Highest Bid." Despite the fact that the vehicle was listed as a "Pure Sale" in which the vehicle gets sold to the highest bidder regardless of the final price, there is no "reserve" price to be met. Yet another way of them fucking people over when the vehicle doesn't sell for the amount they(Copart), or the insurance company, wanted. Fucking scam. Don't waste your time or money here at these auctions. You are buying someone else's problem.

Thanks Ben you too mate
Are category U mainly finance repossessions or rental cars being put in . I ask this as apparently these don't go via insurance channels.
Nice informative vid, any idea what P means after the lot number? Maybe a vid on the screen letters would be good too. One I've just one has, R, I and D on the screen, assume R is run D is drive no idea on the I (insurance)? 🤣🤣
Can definatly do another vid. I'm pretty sure the I stands for insurance mate
Yeah I’d like this too....
Did you manage to find out what P is ?
No, X is insurance and C is private seller
I’ve also seen p after a lot number
Very good video. I wonder if it is only a hobby is it worth it? You have to pay initial registration fee ( i think it is £100), then every year member's fee, pay for delivery, and before you sell the car you have to insure and tax it to be legal for test drive.
Depends how serious you are about doing it and how many cars you plan on doing mate
Nice video mate hows the white van going now or is it on the back burner . Stay safe 👍🍺
Hi mate was put on the back burner but will be back on it this week!

What are the costs of category X cars ? what is the process if there is one to legalise and sell on
Hi,
You forgot to mention flood damage cars
Great video bro thanks
Too many rip off fees puts me off. It's a big gamble with a lot of co-part motors having serious engine issues. Buying without physically seeing the car is a big no-no.
Very true. Copart fees are ridiculous. Sometimes the fees can be just as much as the car itself!
Hi mate, I just bought vehicle with v5 on file where I can find v5?
Very informative video fully agree with ur picks here that Audi is a money pit .bread&butter cars is the safe bet ..I mean look how cheap u picked up parts for ur corsa..imagine the price of 2wings/door for a high end german audi 😥..lol cool watching u learn just hope u make money mate👍
What is the latest on the beemer and combo now mate look forward to the partner van .
Beamer has now gone and the combos still here just been put on the back burner!
I don't think copart will never allow members to view cars anymore. Absolute crooks
Hi mate what is the letter P for after the lot number ?
Private
Thanks great help. Liked and sub'd 👍 What does the P mean at the end of the window code and are there others that may come up? Thanks and keep up the good work
Sorry you said look at the MOT history but most of this cars have the reg covered
revealed to members, along with full VIN.
Well done chap, very informative.
hello what does the letters at the end of the lot number means
What does the E stand for after the lot number ?
Great video mate really helped me has I’m looking to buy a salvage motor and have been looking on copart
Thanks Paul glad it came in useful! Good luck let us know how you get on 👊🏼

The reg will be in the detail section
What does a Q next to the lot number mean? Great video

Have you found another car yet then
Not yet mate still have the Peugeot partner to fix up the Corsa is at the bodyshop once corsa is back that will be going up for sale then I will be looking for the next one!

How not to get caught on copart... What went wrong with the BMW and the van 😂
Watch my 'Channel Update' vid to see what happened mate
@@SalvageDiaries I know you bought lemons, my point is your teaching people how not to get caught but you seem to get caught more than most
@@matthewfountain3655 golden rule is NOT to buy cat U used/ unrecorded. It’s dodgy as hell & u are asking for trouble
@@SalimKhan-gk1fh exactly that's 1 of my rules... A unrecorded car out of a salvage auction. Obviously its going to be brilliant 😂
@@matthewfountain3655 I don’t look at unrecorded anymore,usually have mechanical problems, major onesMatthew!
Don’t buy of copart heard too many horror stories
Yes dodgy as hell mate
