Datsuncog Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 12:00 is the suction start time and it will go through anytime up to 3:30 ish Aha, I see now how this works. Not an eBay-style countdown to the end of the auction, but rather a countdown to the start of the auction. Got it. That's popped my anxiety levels down a notch or two, anyway; I was heart feared that this was about to go to frag for the value of its steel.

omegod Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Erm , just to correct that’s supposed to be auction not suction, it ain’t that type of party ???? ProgRocker and CGSB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProgRocker Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Good luck! The parents of a friend of mine, were loyal SEAT drivers until recently, owned one of these in the 1990s. J reg metallic blue 1.2 CLX 5 door but with colour coded bumpers. My mate was a named driver on the car when he passed his test. It had a dodgy automatic choke from memory.

puntopaul Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I'm currently watching the auction myself, maybe he's going to throw in a late bid and keep up the suspense etc.. Fingers crossed anyway, as it doesn't look like too much work cosmetically to get it straight. Either way, someone wants to get in there and have this fine steed bought!!

beko1987 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 A shame but understandable. Half a grand for what is a full unknown is a bit of a gamble. Ill keep looking out of my office window incase another one crops up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felly Magic Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 That is a fair few sovs for an Armchair, and what damage will the Copart clowns have done to it as they moved it around the yard on fork lifts? Bad luck mate, what are the odds this is on ebay very soon for a 'bag of sand'? tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_Rocket Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Nope, but there's certainly a Copart 'tax' nowadays. I've bought from them in the past, but wouldn't bother now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesapandre Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Auctions a weird things ain't they. Who was after that?? If you had it up for sale on Ebay you would be inundated with idiots and probably not sell it for pennies. Just shows the power of the trade and a proper process where on the fall of the hammer it's yours no quibble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingz123 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I would sum Copart up in its entirety like this... Cost to repair in the UK is x amount Cost to repair in Eastern Europe (including getting it there) approximately a third if what it costs to repair here.... Hence why they pay such strong money for crap - you can forget about anything German from there they’ll always pay more.....what I can’t understand though is when you deal with them doing the same thing on Ebay they are quick to quibbly over a tenner...!? Cat b’s which are breakers over here will be bought, shipped out there, reimported once repaired and reregistered over here hpi clear... But anyway, i should breathe, relax and forget lesapandre and RobT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
