Suggestion
I spent many a year doing the rounds of the car breakers to keep my old sports cars on the road at a cost I could afford, a time when cars were piled one on top of the other, and pulling bits off teetering wrecks was not without it`s risks, but well worth it...It is a changed game for sure.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

This should be interesting.
Any one in the trade care to find out the backstory to this one ?
Navigating the Copart platform is a bit smoke and mirrors !

Looking at it as it appears to have no damage I would guess that this is one that has been repaired by
insurance
and rejected by the customer so the insurance have had to buy it off them and pay them out.
Just a guess :dont know:
Interesting to know the story behind this one?
I know it's mainly a trade platform but what an absolute Palaver to register and bid on Copart.
Fees fees fees at every single touch point in the transaction. !!
Im not sure why anyone would want to deal with any of those salvage auctions. They are the biggest bunch of greedy,unhelpful,tricky,lying unreliable businesses you would ever meet. The only way you would ever win one of these auctions is if you pay too much. They are masters at catching out the novice. And pity help you if you ever have a problem. I am speaking from 40 years of experience.

It is a decade or more since I visited a breakers yard, so things will have evolved, and Big Jock seems to have his finger on the pulse, I thought even more so after I watched this vid.. It is a tad slow and "American" but I suspect it provides an outline as to the evolution into aspects of the car parts business..and/or buying a cheap repairable...?

Didn't meet the reserve but no idea what it was bid up too?
If the car was hiding something then fair enough but on the surface it looked like a relatively low mileage,no damage, straight car with s/history and a recent MOT.
Strange choice of auction house ?
Copart sold a lot to eastern europe, I have been outbid three times on cars I was buying for spares. I did buy a van just before lock down. they also send things through several times
