Rob, for all it’s faults it’s a very nice car. The X1 used to be built on the new Mini frame and parts, but this model looks much bigger. Still a good catch!

[@Marknotgym]

Totally enjoyed this one looking forward to following it through. Copart need to set a couple of site staff rules, do not cut air bags, take photos of any warning notices. They should put the car on provisional until the purchaser has passed and accepted it. Better still, Re introduce pre auction inspections for customers that have history of more than 5 purchase’s

[@martinwebster5881]

Rob if we can see them labels on your camera then they would show perfectly on a photograph. Copart obviously have an obligation to the insurance companies to get as much as they can for the salvage and in return they get all the salvage cars to sell at an extortionate buyers fee. Then the insurance companies can charge an extra fee to insure a categorised vehicle. It’s all a massive stitch up. The very least they can do is give an accurate description and decent pics. The jobs hard enough.

[@MrGregAndrew2023]

I love how your optimism paves the way. You two are a firm fixture in my daily life. 😊

[@stephenricketts7764]

I think you are right about the BMW being stolen and I hope they got the 'toe rags'. The car might need a full respray with all the little scratches and dents but that is a way off yet. It does look like a nice car beyond the damage though. Well done for cracking on and removing the airbags and Seat belts Rob they will have them fixed and back to you in no time. I think you will do alright out of it with regards to profit despite some parts being expensive. Thank you Rob and Chris for bringing us another video from SRUK. 👍👍

[@wgcjack]

This is the problem with co part. The flood damage should have been seen. But the bmw is a piss take. Just because it’s crashed doesn’t mean the drivers can bang them up even more. Very frustrating for you guys. Keep Up the good work 👍🏻

Just enjoyed this update as always. Rob - you may or may not know and not wanting to tell my granny how to suck eggs the locking wheel nut's location may be as follows. Lift the tailgate and pull the left hand rear side panel cover off. Underneath the yellow hazard waistcoat you may find a locking wheel nut staring at you. Sorry if you know all that but thought it is worth a mention. Great videos and your both a pleasure to watch. Best regards to you and Chris.

The SOCO will have cut out the drivers side bags for DNA - DNA on blown airbags is great evidence because it identifies who was driving at the time of the accident - ask me how i know. Oh, the fail to start might be a fuel cutoff in the event of a crash, there used to be reset buttons in the boot.

Hello you two. Its a long time since I purchased a write off myself, usually bought from Simpsons auto salvage near Full Sutton prison, and at least you could walk round the aircraft hanger at your own pace and assess the damage. Maybe you both need to stop buying from this company and find another supplier? Have you complained about the crazy airbag damage being done just so they can boost the sale price, and the American style auction. Keep up the good work that you two carry out and I wish you both all the best.

[@mickmolloy6594]

Copart York is near full sutton prison, probably took over Simpsons auto salvage?

[@JPVolvo]

Just to tell you BMW changed their bolt pattern a few years ago, it use to be 5x120 now it’s 5x112, if you ever need to use another wheel on these new bmws try an audi or Mercedes wheel they have 5x112. Have a good one guys

[@Stuart_Johnson_Solutions]

I think that roof damage is from it being on its side, not from a transporter. It probably got held upright by a tree or something

[@MPOWNEY]

Curtain airbag drivers side and steering wheel bag cut out by soco for any DNA.. to maybe prove who was in drivers seat at the time of crash..... another great video lads

[@Toby_the_Glen]

You get the impression that the people that work in the salvage auction industry hate the idea that someone is trying to repair them?

[@Peterpanic-c3h]

I get the impression that the people who are moving these cars around don't care about them or the fact that someone is going to buy them and repair them.

[@philtucker1224]

I shouldn’t think so otherwise Copart wouldn’t have a salvage industry!!

[@quanchyplimp]

What is now Copart used to be USA Salvage when I lived in Thanet. USA were well known for being iffy, auctioning all kinds of broken crap. Nice to hear they refunded you without question. I always used to go to BCA in Paddock Wood, a much better, honest out fit. I bought 44 cars in 2 years from BCA, only 2 were a problem, both Nissan Bluebirds and had been clocked (taxis), I proved it, they didn't question it, refunded me on both vehicles. I kind of miss those days.

I went to pick up A 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee at IAA auction, which Copart now owns. The driver door was caved in, which it wasn't like in the pictures in the auction. I sucked it up, I got a decent price on the Jeep. But a new door was $950USD, that one hurt. It's pretty infuriating how they are careless at these auction companys.

[@mickmolloy6594]

Last car I bought was listed as burn damage. To be fair they had a photograph showing water in one floor area, but when it arrived they had written 'flood damage' on the windscreen. This wasn't in the photos of course. The carpet and underlay was stinking. Also the bonnet was damaged which wasn't in the photos. Just got a quote of £550 to repair it.

[@lucythemoggy1970]

i reckon that offside damage if s/r, could be where the police had to do tactial contact to bring it to a stop, and popped the window to frighten the offenders.

Watching your video the other day, I bought my first car from Copart earlier in the year was reading the terms and conditions about damage on collection not in the auction photos, if you’re a member you could’ve claimed for that roof damage or any other damage not in the advertised photos, but it must be claimed before you leave the premises or signed for a delivery. As you have a big subscriber base, you need to claim for these damages make a stand as I say.
