Copart: I Bought the cheapest car and fixed it in 10 Minutes! Almost NO DAMAGE! Inspired by Samcrac

In today's video I reveal my 2010 Honda Accord that I bought from Copart Auto Auction with very minor damage. This car caught my attention because it carries a clean title, has very minor damage and was a run and drive with 40,000 miles. The Honda Accord will be a fun winter car and has a low purchase price like most of Auto Auction Rebuilds cars.
I love going to Copart Salvage Auction and IAA Salvage Auction to buy wrecked cars for cheap. Salvage cars make great projects because you buy them for cheap and can easily flip it if you decide you want another car, Samcrac and auto auction rebuilds demonstrate this very well. Cheap project cars from copart and IAA always sell well and do great on youtube.

You forgot to include the rebuilt title registration cost for the vehicle. I paid $500 to have my title rebuilt for my Copart 2015 Kia Optima which I won for $2,850. I live in North Carolina, I know the cost can differ between states. But it’s a fairly important thing you need to do...

[@cmarshall108]

smile cute There are some vehicles that do not require a license to bid on, you will have to check into that when you go to bid.

[@engineer_alv]

That's a great deal. I also got my 2010 Accord EX 5 spd manual from Copart, however it had a salvage title (rear ended). It has 130K miles but it was also a 1 owner vehicle with an extensive maintenance record, so I'm good with it. Wish it had a clean title but still overall a good deal to me ($2200 out the door + repairs). I was able to salvage the rear bumper with some JB weld, gauze sponges and applying bondo on the crack. I also had to replace the resonator (it bent) and a tailight. The car's been running great and is very comfy

[@JohnStax98]

Eng_ Alvarado90 130k seems high but these hondas last forever and are awesome, paired with a manual transmission yours will run forever.

[@engineer_alv]

@@JohnStax98 yes they do last a while if maintained properly. Since I only put about 8-10K miles @ year (I have another vehicle), I'm confident it will hold up well. The previous owner definitely took care of it: it had newish BFG tires with plenty of thread left and the oil looked new, the spark plugs and air filter looked good as well (I was prepared to replace all those but it really doesn't need anything yet), the clutch and shifter feel great (in typical Honda fashion).

[@TheStrawberry9936]

How do you insure a salvage title vehicle? Is it only liability that can go on the car? Or is it different in every state?

[@engineer_alv]

@@TheStrawberry9936 once you refurbish the vehicle to operational condition, you can go to the DMV and request a Rebuilt title. In CA they require smog, brake/light inspections, I guess is mostly the same for other states. I only have liability insurance on this one and that's what most insurance companies will do for you. Since it's cheap transportation I don't mind getting liability only insurance, but I understand some people may not want to have that (I actually have full coverage on my truck but that one costs 6 times this car did, so it's a no brainer), in that case a rebuilt salvage vehicle is not for them.

I think someone traded that in for a newer one, because he didn’t want to waste money on fixing it, when someone did like a hit an run. (If they had only liability) So I guess they traded it in for like $600.00 and then the dealership has no choice to put it in the auction, which it’s clean title. Well this is a good deal! Awesome 👏
