Go to Copart and look at the stuff if you're going to buy way out of town. If you're buying locally which is smart that way you can go up there and see what they have you don't have to go in deep but there's always going to be shit you're not going to see you can't tear into a car without tearing into a car

If you're going to think you're going to get a great deal at Copart you better think again. What you're getting at Copart is basically fees out the yin-yang unless you go full-blown dealer. And there's a reason why these cars are at copart. If it's at Copart it means that it's at its end of its life and it's going to take somebody to bring it back to life. And if it's a deal that's too good to be true trust me when you get it you're going to find all kinds of shit wrong with it. Don't believe all these videos online these people are making plenty of money off the video alone to fund building a car that would cost you about the same amount of money to just buy the damn thing

600 bucks? Most crap on copart gets up to a few grand less than buying gently used cars that are good to go!!!

The start stop I don’t even notice anymore. I’ve had that in a car since 2015.

There's a reason they call them "used vehicles" instead of "new vehicles"-because someone has already used them. As a buyer, it’s crucial to do your homework, understand the vehicle’s retail value, and assess the cost of necessary repairs. If the repair costs exceed the vehicle's value, you’ve likely overpaid. Like Eric O says, not all cars at the auction are junk, but there are junk cars at the auction. You can't rely on others to do the legwork for you. If the vehicle has been in an accident, remember there’s usually both primary and secondary damage to consider. Be aware of common issues with the make and model, and calculate how much you’re willing to invest in repairs. Sometimes, buying the same make and model from a private owner might be a better option.

So I didn't hear how this $650 turned into you coughing up nealy $5k for it. Did I miss something, not trying to hate but when you initially made the statement my jaw dropped. Not sure I have heard how come it got to that much. You have told us about fees in a very long and drawn out way but you have not shown a price break down that takes us to 5k. If I missed it then I am a Fwit and please correct me. Seems you are griping about cars at auction being worse than they appear. Well, why do you think a car ends up at action? Because it's a great car? or because no one would buy it on a lot so they dumped it? I have personal experience of trying to buy a Suburban RST from a Chevy main dealer, it was used but during the test drive the tranny started to do what seemed like odd things. I told them correct it and I will take it for the asking price. A day later they called me (Big chevy dealer) and said, and I quote. "Our mechanical team has assed the truck and it needs a transmission in our opinion. We are going to send it to auction" and they did! Cars have always been this way. I am 54 and have been in the game many years. Piles of chit go to auction, be prepared to be lied to, hornswoggled and cheated. It's auction, that's why the car is there. No one else will buy it when they get a good look at it. I hear a lot of bitching about auctions. Seems to be just a little naivety on the buyers part more than a scam. Your at auction, know where you are and the environment you are in, what to expect and never bid on a car without seeing it. Sellers can hide all kinds of crap and nasty surprises. IMHO, anyone's first mistake is bidding on a car at auction without going to see it unless you are a big repair shop that makes it living resurrecting truly dead cars. Auctions are like the trash can of cars, you wouldn't eat food out of a trash can because it's dead, bad, not good in some way. Buy a car from a trash can and you should already know what your getting into. Don't buy at auction unless you are prepared to get ripped off at some point especially if you didn't see that car at time of bidding. That's a fools game and you know the saying. A fool and his money are easily parted. Read as, a fool at an auction and his money are easily parted. Don't buy auction cars in a state of naivety, just plain old ignorance or after taking a hit on hopium. It's at auction for a reason, it's a POS that needs life support, be prepared to provide the life support and resurrect your dream car. There are the odd good one and I am sure someone in the comments will love to tell me I am talking chit but I am not, nor am I emotional about selling cars. I am a realist and when it comes to money and buying things. You truly have zero friends and no one does anyone else a favor at auction. It's like going to war and them complaining they are shooting at you. Errr duh, yeah of course they are, your at war, know where you are and why you're there, you want a cheap car you can fix and make money on or drive. Hopium just won't get the job done. Understand what you are doing, why, and the ramifications of it all going wrong. Then bid and not until them. Hopium isn't worth chit inthe real world and most of the time neither ar auction cars for the regular Joe despite what idiots in You Tube may have you believe. Get over it, enjoy the car and spread the good messages about what you have done and what you have achieved rather than having a bitch about it and "trying to let everyone know". If they are buying at auction they should already know and if the don't know then I refer you back to my statement about fools and auctions. In this world of hurt feelings people just need to grow up and get some fking sak.

Their fixed fees can certainly be a good bit on inexpensive cars. I bought a Celica GT-S for $2,600 and it ended up being about $3,200 after fees. Luckily I knew the car ran and drove fine as the KZbinr I bought it from drove it 700+ miles before he sold it. I flew in and drove it 450 miles home. My son is still driving it now, a good 18 months later!

Jill, your shirt is hilarious & awesome at the same time.

I’ve bought about 12 cars from Copart over the years. In my experience, it’s better to buy Copart select or salvage vehicle with an obvious damage. Salvage vehicles with no obvious damage is most likely to have hidden issues.

Are you allowed to turn over/start the engine if you bring a power pack?

Hi i'd say thanks ... and i really appreciate the advice keep doin this kind of vids..

common sense if you see a damaged car there will be other unseen damage they probably have a disclaimer to cover them i've had years of experience in accident damaged cars i always expect more known as "buyer beware clause"

7:39 that situation for ya’ll just sucks bc ya’ll are just gonna tear it back down, but since you gotta go through all of that, drive the car at least a month lol

You can just pick it up with a U-Hall trailer if you pick it up yourself correct?

Thank ya’ll For this video

Brand new bronco and you have a roof leak? I can imagine when the car get older

Do they have low beams also?

Where do I send you all some cheese?.

Hey . Is enhanced vehicles cars . Working ?

You can turn that backseat occupicancy off.

I only buy from insurance sellers on copart and never had an issue. Non insurance sellers are copart private resellers/scammers. Also, never pre-bid on cars just wait until it goes live.

My 2023 Bronco was broken into and the thieves tried to remove the radio/navigation system. They broke the dash and screens. Insurance is giving me some trouble so I’m fixing it myself and then suing the insurance company. This video helps me immensely. Thank you

Be careful of Copart scams. People doctor up wrecked cars and slap them to lgeather to appear like it wasn't wrecked as hard.

Jill, I love you like a sister! Oh wait, you are my sister ❤. Great video guys! Love you too Shaun!

Thank you for making this one as well. It answered a bunch of questions i had . I would like to add if I could ,that here in California ,The title will always say salvaged if it has been. California simply does not issue you a title until you have the inspections done. Then you will get a salvage title. they will never issue a "rebuilt". Also most insurance companies will only give you liability coverage as well. Other states seem like they are way more friendly at giving cars another life.

For the fifth thing, you can actually move the cover in the trunk (the thing that the spare tire is under) and scooch it forward and it covers the gap. The guy at the dealership showed me.

i never knew brett favre used copart??

Paid $18 for it at Walmart, took less than a hour and boom, crystal clear. If it lasts a year,I'll be happy

Hey there！We're quite interested in your posting content. We have some car related items. Do you accept sponsored products?

Have you taken the a-pillar trim off in a video? I want to run my light bar wiring down the drivers side a pillar, through the big grommet in the firewall into the engine bay. How do I do this?

A great way to sidestep all the extra work. Ever ready makes a wireless switch system. No need for wires to come into the cab. Everything hooks up under the hood. Place the unit where you like and run the wires out. I’ve got that in my pickup. I’m looking at a couple broncos at the moment. And a couple have the sunglass holder. The everyready set up would be the easiest way to go.

couldn't they just reach in and hit the unlock button on doors if top is down, then open back door and get in?

I just used this product on my 2007 S550. Definitely works!! So easy & so worth it. I ordered from Amazon & will be ordering another for my husband’s 2010 Silverado. 😊

How much is the cost to transport the car?

My favorite Mustang body style. I have a 06 GT manual with 345k miles on it.

"Give you an idea of what she's talking about " got what she meant first explanation...lol

Awesome video!

I did'nt actually believe this would work. But to my suprise my 14 year 0ld headlights now look like new. Tommorow I'll do my other 2006 Lexus. Somethig that actually does exactly what it says it will do. Will wonders never cease?

Your content is fantastic! Interested in partnering to sponsor a product?😃

@gatekeeperoffroad

My god you're boring

Looking good!

Thank you for making this. I have been looking at COPART for a while .

Should had went with Kbd with lifetime warranty

In one of the worst filmed/lighted, explained and detail less videos, I think I learned it's a pain in the ass to change that light.

Thank you for letting me know where to find my code---it didn't work like your alls...but I figured it out--mine is the last 4 digits of the code then the 1st one is the last digit. Example code on card says 01234 you push in 12340 then it opened. Hope this helps others.

Nice umm bumpsers

Another 3 minute video stretched out to 11 boring minutes….

I ordered a color match bumper that was folded I left it in the sun but did not fully strengthen out but with a heat gun was almost a perfect fit! Just remember heat gun is your best friend when getting aftermarket urethane parts.

No sanding??? Did you bypass those steps??
