I finally broke down and paid the $59 for a membership that would allow
me to bid. I wanted to bid on this:
https://www.copart.com/lot/66367701
I put in a prebid of $2200 (min bid) with a max of $3k. Probably too
much but if it turns out to be decent and not need an engine like that
other one I had, might not be a bad deal. Anyway, auction was today so
I watched it online. It was odd some turd cars were selling for big
bucks and others I figured would bring a lot had hardly any action.
What I still can't figure out is there are bidders from all these 3rd
world countries throwing out big bids on these cars. Most of the
bidders were from somewhere else. Honduras, Nigeria, UAE, Russia, every
country you can think of. Some of these bids I do not see how they
would make any money on them locally much less shipping them all over
the world.
Anyway, my prebid of $2200 was the only bid, its awaiting seller
response as they have a buy it now of $4000. No way this is worth that
as it would be $5k after copart fees. I went and looked at it in person
today. It needs tires, some interior cleaning, and of course a rear
glass but the engine looks clean without oil blowing everywhere, coolant
looks good, oil level good. Battery completely dead. No mention if it
runs or not but I would say there is a good chance it does.
