Salvage Auctions

[Thom987]

I've been buying damaged cars from Copart, formerly Universal Services for quite a few years, as well as local salvage yards, but alas Copart seems to be over run with Joe Public these days and there seem to be too many bidders, pushing up the prices to a level that does not make it viable to buy cars. Can anyone recommend another salvage auction, preferably one that has a stricter criteria for trade buyers.

But if we tell you then the quiet sites will become busy and the cycle will continue.

Get friendly with a large fleet user that self insures or has an extremely high XS,this is near impossible but not totaly impossible, be prepared to buy a lot of unrepairable gear as you won't be able to cherry pick.

I need to be able to cherry pick. Copart was great, but it just isn't financially viable these days. In many cases salvage vehicles are selling for as much as straight ones.

So in effect you just want other people to stop bidding the prices up, so you can buy them cheap, sorry dude that's not very likely to happen.

Sometimes it's better if I say nothing
