I was actually looking around copart today too and found some classics that could be considered deals. But haven’t seen what they end up selling for and found more than a few like this priced sky high or with bidding over what it should be. I blame it on people not being able to control themselves while bidding and I’m starting to wonder if copart has a shill bidding problem. The cars being sold by insurance companies have prices where they should be, all the others are bid up higher than they should be and it makes you wonder. There’s a guy on YouTube called samcrac and he has some great tips on what to look for in copart listings and how to see more history on vehicles sold on copart for those interested.
