Just watched this rather shocking vid on a Gallardo up for sale through a popular salvage site. Highlights the importance of doing a thorough online check before parting with cash.

Don't know why he's saying "he doesn't blame copart"...

The check showed Copart were dealing with the salvage in Texas, and then their UK representative (on the video call) said no accident damage, and no mention of it on their web listing.

I guess this is exactly the risk with bidding at auction. 100% pukka cars rarely get auctioned.

Yep, I thought that too. For that reason I’d never buy a car on auction. Too many unknowns.
