Buying a Copart Category U "Unrecorded Salvage" Peugeot 207cc. Part 7

[@paulmullen4040]

I learned years ago abt copart iam lucky I get stuff from main agent I don't do auctions either I just do less as all I was doing was buying work

[@alistairmscott]

This was just a bit of a hobby for me so it wasn't really important whether or not it took ages or cost a bit more than the car's worth. If I was looking to turn cars round for a profit as a business I think I'd steer well clear of them.

Think your milking this for content now!

Ha, to be honest it's only really going on KZbin so I can save the space on my computer, and in case I ever decide to sell it. As it's a salvage car it's got no service history, so this way a new buyer can at least see it's had some attention. I don't get anywhere near enough views to generate any income and I'm not looking to "build a brand" or any of that rubbish. Another two or three episodes and that will be it. I'm getting sick of it too now! Certainly won't be buying another car off Copart that's for sure!

Buy a compressor a basic gun and get on with it

​@@paulmullen4040 If I ever do this again I probably will. And get paint matched to the actual car, rather than the paint code based on new paint that's not 10 years old!

@@paulmullen4040 yeah I definitely wouldn't go near Copart again! Luckily there was nothing missing off this, even still had the locking wheel nut key and jack, but it was a proper shed when it turned up.
