I learned my lesson the hard way, I bought a ford van from Copart with damage to the near side from and suspension only needed a wing, headlight, mirror and a wishbone. The van only had 63,000 miles on the clock but didn’t start, they said it could be a flat battery but when the van was delivered and we tried to start it wouldn’t start only to find out that the engine was fucked so I had to buy a new engine.
Very informative. Well done in spotting the lemon. These videos are not only inspirational but also gives me the confidence to venture down the same road. Keep up the good work 👌🏾
Great stuff you solved a puzzle- I always wondered with near-identical cars (with just wear and tear bodywork) at Copart ... one will attract loads of bids ...and the other nothing ...obviously, the smart guys know something.
Informative video I enjoyed the walkarounds and it definitely highlights the need to see the vehicles in person and your video reminds us what to look out for. Hope you find a solid deal on a cool project car soon and keen to see more progress on the Corsa
Mk5 golf if you're looking for one.. check the sills as they rust from the inside.. badly sealed from factory and it allows water to get into the sillls... good car when not rusty!
The 1.6 FSI engines had problems with their hydraulic timing chain tensioner. When the car is turned off the oil pressure in the tensioner drops, then when you start the engine it can take a few seconds for the oil pressure to build back up. This combined with the use of plastic chain tensioners and guides, maybe could have caused the chain to jump a few teeth.
Lad seriously this is good advice I wasn’t even gonna look at cars I can see why you have too plus that golf if you get it fir 375 still a nice lil car just have to sort the engine out
I've seen dozens of Copart specials. The best was a 2017 A Class with body damage, stated as non runner but not mechanical. The guys who bought it put it on the ramp took off the undertray and the rods were through the block. The cost of body work and a 3.5k engine later..... off course Copart said sold as seen. The lesson being disregard anything they claim and look for yourself. And if you don't know, stay well clear. CAT U really means unsellable elsewhere
Great vid, the golf gti was obviously the car to go for here, nice colour, good interior and not riced up like so may others. The other golf 1.6 was just average but it had major engine issues due to either lack of oil, a leak or oil pressure issues. The engine runs sure but its not a run and drive. It sounds like the cams were shot or the timing was out.
Top information as per usual ! Thanks, thinking of using Copart to find a first car for my nephew, learning from you and your channel. Thanks for sharing.
It's probably the timing chain. The 1.6 fsi is known for having a timing chain rather than a belt, and it does go wrong after a while. Dont know how much it would cost to fix, but I reckon there's money in that far imo
Good video Paul. Nice to see how some of the listings stand up to real life inspection. Looking forward to seeing the new project car when you find one.
Very interesting and informative. But I noticed there weren't any engine warning lights on this one, even though the engine clearly had a fault. How would a non-expert be able to detect this issue if they don't know what the engine's meant to sound like?
Had a 2006 golf match same colour steel grey from new and loved it. Watched this video and it too me back. I half fancy buying that golf and fixing the engine or replace it. I reckon that would be appealing to your subs Paul?

Hello Paul with regards to the golf with the engine problem if you've got something about you maybe you could repair it or get a replacement engine great video mate
Love your videos, purchased my first car and done well thanks to some of your tips. What is the most cost effective way to HPI check cars in bulk? Currently I use the AA multicheck thing, is there a better alternative?
Really relaxed presentation style makes it look easy. so far so good. But I would be looking more at the ages of the cars as 2009 would be a cut off for me with a lower or medium milage in fact best to make it 2012 ten yrs, old paying a bit more can be worth it in the long run. You do not miss much but small issues soon add up and profit is lost. Overall a good intro to buying. If you have a qualified mechanic then you can both make a wage.
I`ve taken a chance & brought unseen, & so far I`ve been lucky. my Jag XJR was one of them, I went from tiny, grainy pictures on their website (I can't remember who I got it from now), but when it was delivered the damage was exactly what I expected. 11 years on, I still have it. I got a Daimler from another yard, with MOT, for a ridiculous £273, & again, that was exactly what I expected (& I had it mint within an hour of receiving it as I had a donor car in the same colour). I`m always a bit worried about how they`ve been treated in the yard though, some salvage & scrap yard employees are animals, & will quite happily rev the nuts off the engine, just to see if it`ll go bang, just for a laugh..

Surely the engine problem is really just a 'buyer beware' issue? Some dafty buys it without starting it, I'd be thinking they are the mug not the vendor? Anyway, very interesting.

Hi paul been watching your vids for awhile and they are fantastic and makes me want to do the same . Can i use a car dolly trailer to pick up cars from co part . How do you get yours back home.. ?
Hey man keep up the great vids! Quick question: If a car has a dead battery, would co part allow us to jump start the car with our own jump pack? Or not? Cheers. Hope you will reply.
Another great video Paul! I have a question, how much do Copart charge for delivery? I'm considering bidding in something that is in Sandy and would like to have it delivered to Birmingham.
it all depends on how far you live from the Copart yard you are bidding on. Phone the yard in question and they will give you a cost. Don't forget to ask if the price includes VAT because they always add this but some yards don't tell you that

@@soperdiact838 Less than 2K? No I think not. I think a decent Mk5 GTI after 2005 will be around £2500 to £3500, that golf was in great condition and a nice color so the price was about right.
Am I correct in thinking that the "Retail Value" they put on the website, is the price you should expect to pay on a dealer forecourt if the car was not a Cat S/Cat N etc etc, in other words a car that's not been written off? or is that the value they put on the car after the accident?

I bought a mondeo,1.8 LX auto,it was really a bad buy in my own eyes and wished id bought a straight car..But i really fancy buying a copart car that has minor damage as i watch different videos on here..I don't have a huge budget but it be interesting to see how much car i could buy on a very limited budget.How much would you say..? As my mondeo on a 1994 plate was a real bad buy,it had outstanding finance and was poorly repaired by my chosen garage,sub frame was bent also.i think i paid £1700 cash and then a further £600 in repair work..i did however manage to sell it for £1200,at least i got some money back..when you lose £1100 on a car..that's mega scary..this was back in 2002-2003 time..
Hi Tim, with any salvage car, you only save money when you do the work yourself, if you have to farm out all the repairs to a garage, then its a false economy and will cost you more money as you discovered. my biggest issue is paintwork, I am useless at it so I try to work around this by buying panels that are the correct colour. Hope this helps
Love the videos... Just on the Golf Match... I couldn't quite hear how loud it was but that FSI engine is very rattly when you start it for the first time. If it's extremely bad when warm, then it's the infamous cam chain tensioner that's on its way out. They're not that difficult to replace. The other issue with these Mark V Golfs is the diff bearing in the gearbox and that's not really something for the DIY mechanic... needs a gearbox specialist. The 1.6FSI is a horrible engine, if possible try and get the 1.4TSI in the very last of the Mark V Matches. They also suffer from cam chain issues but at least the engine's a little more lively and fuel efficient.
After a few people starting the 1.6 Golf the battery will be flat, then the next person who views it won't notice the engine sound and will think it's a great car!
You have to tell them which cars you want to see in advance and then they will escort you to those cars, they won't let you walk around unescorted. All the keys are in the cars and if they have a charge in the battery, they will let you start it up.
Hello buddy , i call you my mentor. I'm trying to do something similar but with much lower budget . If you don't mind I want to ask you did any of the category allow you to get the V5 with the car . Thank you in advance and keep going with the great job !
@@CarsForPaul usually the V5 arrived for about 2 weeks if you send the green slip otherwise takes about 6 , in my last case 7 weeks . It's just too long...
Cat B's are normally too damaged or are deemed unsafe to be ever put back on the road. they can only be sold for parts and the body has to be disposed of by a licensed EPA dismantle agent.
ALWAYS VIEW COPART CARS - MY FRIEND BAUGHT A C63 FIXED IT ENGINE WAS GONE - I BOUGHT A STRIPPED CAR BUT WAS CUT INSTEAD OF STRIPPED LOST A LOT OF MONEY - 😡
they should all be scrapped ,I hope the customers who get these cars after there repaired know that there buying the insurance companies crap,I bought one 20 years back it was great ,until someone went into me,it fell apart,I certainly wouldn’t put my kids in this rubbish ,great video though
Times have changed and the dangerous cut and shuts of the '90s have long gone. the stuff that goes back on the road today is safe with only minimal damage.
Cars are designed to fall apart now the car takes the impact not you. A lot of the cat n cars wrote off today are a real shame and marked as wrote off for a damaged mirror or bumper false fucking economy
The insurance company will pay out the retail value of the car when it is written off. If they can sell it to be repaired they get 25% to 50% of their payment back. If they scrapped them all your insurance would double.
Hello dear friend I bought a car on Copart last month ,it was cat s car so I send vc6 forum to get the logbook but they after few weeks they send a letter and said the car it hasn’t got any history on data base and insurance so you have to pay 25 pound also I be done the Hpi check and it’s clean history I wonder the data base hasn’t been update or.... have you got any idea ?
That tells me that it is not a Cat S and if it comes up with clean history, that means that it is likely to be a Cat U. Copart do make mistakes sometimes
Cars For Paul wow it’s good news to me I love the make you put your mind and the time and money to do this channel I am a bit of expert in this things if you need any help let me know god bless you
Sorry this needs to be taken down , you cannot do physical inspections at salvage dealers for obvious reason, good information, however no disrespect but there are to many people promoting salvage companies and other items ie tools,scanners and the like because they are getting something out of it, this has a major impact on the industry, driving prices up by giving the public a false perception.

It's easy to avoid clopart scams.... DON'T BUY FROM COPART. There are other auction sites
they should all be scrapped ,I hope the customers who get these cars after there repaired know that there buying the insurance companies crap,I bought one 20 years back it was great ,until someone went into me,it fell apart,I certainly wouldn’t put my kids in this rubbish ,great video though
Times have changed and the dangerous cut and shuts of the '90s have long gone. the stuff that goes back on the road today is safe with only minimal damage.
Cars are designed to fall apart now the car takes the impact not you. A lot of the cat n cars wrote off today are a real shame and marked as wrote off for a damaged mirror or bumper false fucking economy
The insurance company will pay out the retail value of the car when it is written off. If they can sell it to be repaired they get 25% to 50% of their payment back. If they scrapped them all your insurance would double.
The best way not to get scammed by copart is not to buy from them
Hello dear friend
I bought a car on Copart last month ,it was cat s car so I send vc6 forum to get the logbook but they after few weeks they send a letter and said the car it hasn’t got any history on data base and insurance so you have to pay 25 pound also I be done the Hpi check and it’s clean history I wonder the data base hasn’t been update or.... have you got any idea ?
That tells me that it is not a Cat S and if it comes up with clean history, that means that it is likely to be a Cat U. Copart do make mistakes sometimes
Cars For Paul wow it’s good news to me I love the make you put your mind and the time and money to do this channel I am a bit of expert in this things if you need any help let me know god bless you
Cars For Paul thanks brother

Sorry this needs to be taken down , you cannot do physical inspections at salvage dealers for obvious reason, good information, however no disrespect but there are to many people promoting salvage companies and other items ie tools,scanners and the like because they are getting something out of it, this has a major impact on the industry, driving prices up by giving the public a false perception.
