The all-round fees they charge for sale and delivery is an extortion. I will monitor the sale indeed. Thank you.
Where are you?
On the left of the page below the vehicle pictures, theres an option to do a delivery quote – what price is it giving you based on your postcode?
Copart have several locations, so check those closer to you first as its cheaper to get delivered/collect however, if the price is right, the budgets there to include extra delivery charges.
For people like you there are bargains to be had, patience, but don’t overbid. Once you have a maximum bid in mind place it before the auction starts, its cheaper and the auction will increment your bid bit by bit up to your maximum and if you don’t win smply move on, sometheing will come up, but be realistc.
Reputable dealers are less interested in insurance write offs, they take up space and are harder to sell. Like wise the electric car market s jittery at the moment so that keeps prices down, but you will always get some dickhead who will who will over pay, believing the auction valution.
Get to know the letter at the end of the windscreen number “x” means its direct from an insurer, so less likely to to be dishonest.
