Hi Sam, A few things come to mind, here. First of all, you lucked out and got a good delivery guy. At first glance, you got a real deal on this car. I think you're right that something on that front corner is amiss. Something unseen broke, bent or came undone. It's going to be comparatively easy and cheap to get this car up and running. Best of luck and congratulations on your find!

[@ruk2023--]

I get what you're saying but you can't say "something unseen is broke" and then assert that it will be comparatively cheap to fix. It would be great if it was but something expensive (to do an a professional body shop) must have broken for it to be salvaged. Or maybe the insurance adjuster was just having a bad day and wrote it off lol.

[@THOMMGB]

@@ruk2023-- Hi Ralph, I still think it will be comparatively easy and cheap to fix a car that's already driveable. I would think that if Sam only had to pay $3,000 to $5,000 to fix whatever is wrong underneath his car, that would still make this car a great deal lol. But in reality, I guess we'll just have to wait for Sam to get it up and running. Sam is a great scrounger and has lots of contacts, so I'm sure he'll find whatever parts are necessary at a very reasonable price. Knowing him, it will probably be even cheaper than my low end $3000 estimate lol.

[@writerboz]

@@THOMMGB I think Ralph's point is there's no basis for a repair budget yet. Throwing darts until there's some diagnosis of the problem. Could $3-5k be reasonable? Maybe. Just as likely as $25-30k. As others have said, it would most likely be a bent or cracked frame/subframe given it's not readily visible. Audi is a little picky about their frame repairs from what I know. Might be a challenge to DIY. I'll be interested to see what the fault was that caused it being totaled.

[@ruk2023--]

@@writerboz Exactly my point. Logic dictates that insurance companies as a rule don't write off 80 grand cars because of a cracked under tray. It would be awesome if they had in this case though.

@@CaptainFALKEN No, his definition is generally the industry standard definition. There might be women in the adjusting department, but their gender has pretty little to do with their ability to do simple math. This video is just a guy who bought what was likely a theft-recovery R8; battery died from sitting. The original owner probably left the FOB in their car (or they dropped it in a parking lot), someone stole it, went for a joyride, then abandoned it where it wasn't found for a long time.

[@vBrolin]

Had the same issue with a R8 with a dead battery this spring, couldn't get under the hood because there were no power, and the latch was broken off. If you remove the carpet in the passanger footwell, there is a plate covering some fuses and relays. Under that plate, locate the relay labeled 633 and remove it. The upper middle connector, should be a vertical connector (labeled 30 on the relay), is connected directly to the battery, connect that to the plus side of a battery charger, and connect the negative side to some random grounded component, most electronics should start to light up, and you should be able to open the hood via the remote. Then just remove the charger, connect the relay again and change out the battery. This might trigger some error that needs to be removed with VCDS or simular, but I found it to be the fastest way to get into the hood of a dead R8.

[@CzMnHD]

New cars are always so good. : D My 30 year old hood opens all day everyday on my Volvo 740. If there is a problem I can open it underneath the car with my bare hand fast and easy.

I did actually total my car. Everyone is telling me to just scrap it however I want to put the effort to fix especially since I have the knowledge. You are my main inspiration for taking on this project. Would you be willing to give an opinion on how do I go about doing that if I send you pics and the back story? Pretty please? 😊 Edit : I think your best option is to shop around for service records or police records. The next order of business would be to inspect the underside for signs of play.. Usually if a car is being totaled out they won't go through the effort of putting it back together after inspecting it.. But TBH I have a feeling that what you referred to as funny feeling suspension will be a control arm or cracked frame where the strut attaches.. So look at the frame where the suspension attaches first.

[@HP.Customs]

theAppleWizz it HAS a motor which is electrical &. Yes... not electronic, but last time I checked electrical motors require electricity . The connection I'm talking about supplies electricity to the car through the cigarrete lighter port (12-14 volts). So that it can add more power to the latch motor to open the hood since the battery is dead. You don't know what I'm talking about in that last comment obviously. That string he pulls actuates a set of motors for the latch & you can clearly hear them run in the video.

Stop buying if you don't know what you're doing. I bought two cars and they were very decent

[@ratgreen]

What we're the fees? Their website is shit it doesn't give you any indication of exact fees.

[@whteman2]

Around 25% buyers fee.

[@alejandrolozada998]

He is getting paid to advertise Coparts, obviously he will get very lucky with every car he buys.

[@mikixP]

You are right Copart sells junk or auto body shops car that Are junk they just pretty much send those cars to Copart including this Audi , he’s getting paid to promote Copart of course he has to say good stuff about this shitty company

[@MowersNBlowers]

Your priority was to wash it? Not to get a new battery? Driving it without knowing what the damage was? Amazingly Bush league.

[@MowersNBlowers]

@Austin Hohman have people ever said you talk out of your ass?

[@BigKSlam]

@Austin Hohman You're right you should always wash salvage cars when you first get them, instead of figuring out what's wrong

[@utkarshsinha4421]

@Austin Hohman you're such a dumbass

[@ken2guy]

@@BigKSlam a clean car is a good car ^^

[@rhodybimmers8094]

Washing a totaled car without gloves on. Bush league

[@garagerebuilts6224]

Love Copart, cant resist not buying a car for a cheap price like that.

[@alexwielo2097]

Good luck with all the recalls! I have been on that road with mercedes few years ago... every dealer will show you a finger!

[@Ballacha]

you are lucky because undercarriage damage on a performance 4wd usually means exploded central diff.

[@showgirlsaroundtheworldada4484]

Copart are purely the nastiest people I ever did biz with...that girl is a jerk...my biz with them was picking up my totaled cad

[@justintime41776]

That Audi behind you is friggin beautiful!

[@invASIAN95]

Bought a R8 V10 Salvage which is being delivered tomorrow... So excited to get started on the repair, been watching Samcracc so helped give the final push to do it

[@BtappinHD]

Learning 101 (For those of you who want to get into business and have some fun): Copart receives X final value fees for selling vehicles based on the winning bid. The more members that are added, the more competitive bids sellers will get, driving up the final value fees that are charged to customers. Therefore, if Copart pushes more sponsorships into channels that contain a majority of prospective buyers, the demand for certain vehicles will raise and so will the price. If Copart pushes to far into bringing on more sellers, there will be too many cars and a lot of sellers will be disappointed because there's not enough traffic on their website for their content to be viewed. Every car has it's pretty close to exact value ceiling that must be met as much times as possible to ensure a smooth running company. Therefore, create demand first, fulfill demand, create demand, fulfill demand and keep doing that.

[@Engrave.Danger]

Yep, fucking infomercial.

[@NeoSlayer-CoC-MCPE]

The video everyone has been waiting for!!!

[@mahmoud1999PALE4E]

Sibtain Nice profile pic 👍🏼

[@adam0414]

$32,750 is a hell of a deal!

[@Abrohammm]

lol its nice to see that he got a good shipper this time

[@NeoSlayer-CoC-MCPE]

@@adam0414 Totally! And, from what we've seen so far, it's driving well, with the only main issue seen is the suspension. If it turns out that only the suspension matrix needs replacement, then Sam has bagged the best bargain ever!

[@Arman-fz4cd]

Same

[@joseerickson4079]

I am just envious. Good for you Sam. I will buy one too when I have more space. In the meantime, I will drive my volvo and dream. :-D

[@2busysecretary]

That was so fun experiencing that with you! I had a Savage Honda Del Sol and it was my most favorite car ever. Enjoy your new car!

[@Tommy5337]

I’m excited for you with this Audi dream car win! While watching the video I about had a heart attack when you were pushing it out of the upper level of the trailer, hoping it wasn’t going to get loose and fall to the ground of the lift and kill it! Good luck with it, were all pulling for you.

[@RuvArit]

Good luck and I can’t wait to see how you are going to rebuild it!!!

[@HoustonT17]

"Copart works for regular people, like you and ME." (insert Steve Buscemi hi kids meme)

[@MarlonKingShow]

Big risk but if you know how to do your own car fixes then you are on to a win. Good luck man, hope you get it sorted!

[@maxheadroom1207]

How does this guy look like Tony Romo and Ben Roethlisberger at the same time?

[@MaxSpeedMike]

Congrats man! Hope this was a steal of a deal compared to the wrecked KZbinr's r8

[@EFCasual]

The v10 engine costs a huge amount compared to the v8

[@DanielinLaTuna]

Super cool! Super excited to see it coming off the truck 😃

[@RedSkeletone]

It's alive! Dope.
