Neatly bid on that car myself but won a blue st in York. Spark plug Steve has some good videos repairing 2 blue st Also how much was it with fees and delivery. Around £3700 so far ?.

This one's a keeper so will be around for a while, all in it cost me £3458 including fees and delivery as I got a private company to deliver the car. Damage estimate at this stage is under £1k with the parts I have sourced to date, so we are looking good.

Loving the videos recently. Can you explain the whole process of getting a car once you have won the action. Do copart tell you how much you owe them or do you have to work it out and do you pay shipping with this amount. A video on how you actually pay and organise delivery would be much appreciated.

[@CarsForPaul]

Once you win the auction, Copart will send you the final total including fees, so that you know what you owe, you can also get Copart to deliver to you for a fee, but also look at Movex or shiply as they are cheaper than Copart.

[@sgdtv1368]

Hello Paul, I bought the audi r8. Very cheap. Could not believe I won it. Damage is all repaired now, just needs painting. These cars are very hard to repair. I just bought a fiesta st 180 which has just caught fire on me. Interesting talks with ford at the moment as my fiesta had the recall 17s09 done which has failed. My 10 week old granddaughter was in the car when it caught fire. I have put the car on youtube to warn others and to post updates of the case which I am fighting with ford.

[@CarsForPaul]

Congrats on winning the R8, Glad you were OK with the Fiesta fire, I saw your video of the ST after the fire. That looks bad. Hope Ford comes to an agreement in regards to the damage. You should do an update on your R8.

Is copart easy to deal with purchasing vehicles? I’ve heard some horror stories about them...

Apology accepted over the fiat wiring I think I speak for most of your comments over that I am sure this new St won't be a quick fix as it must have a lot of hidden damage and I suspect second hand parts are going to be premium money I think if you cannot turn around a copart car in 7 days your going to loose money Be interesting to compare normal auction prices for straight no Vic history cars.?
