There are some good videos on Youtube from people buying cars from Copart and fixing them. Phil's Salvage Rebuilds, Salvage Rebuilds UK and Saving Salvage are some key ones I like.
Yes I've watched Salvage Rebuilds UK and he does a good job.
Hi all, this is my first post, although, I have been a member for a wee while. I too am in the market for a new car in the next couple of months. I have seen some cracking looking cars on a dealer's website who appear very reputable & have 4.8 stars out of 5 on Autotrader. Luxury Performance in Halifax to be precise. The two cars I have seen are cat s and n respectively. Before even thinking about purchasing, I would contact the dealer to try & obtain as much info as possible & ask for photo's. I would also book an RAC advanced vehicle inspection (presuming the dealer would be okay with this) & this on paper checks almost everything top to bottom. In addition, I would request an RAC vehicle history check which as you'll know gives even further info on the vehicle. I am the first to admit that I am rather clueless when it comes to car's however; I suppose my main question is: If the RAC checks were to come back positive, do the more experienced car people out there feel that would be a deal clincher? Would that be good enough for you?
