Another name for salvaged vehicles on Copart is: "CRASHED TOYS". These cars come with a dent here and there that the buyer will have to refurbish upon arrival to Nigeria. The level of damage to each car is quite different and it's reflective on the final cost of the car. Simply put, the better the quality of the car, the more it'll cost to win it during the live bidding process.

It can't be an easy decision to buy a car you can clearly see has been involved in an accident. At the end of the day though, I understand those clean title cars (from MANHEIM and ADESA) may just be out of reach for a lot of people. Therefore, I have personally set standards, based on my experience buying from Copart. While these set standards are not foolproof, it helps to weed out most cars that are not worth buying. These are the standards:

1. Avoid Flooded vehicles at all cost.

2. For safety reasons, airbags must be intact

3. The damage to the vehicle shouldn't affect the engine bay.

4. Vehicles with frame damage should be avoided as well.

How about the bumper?

How about the bumper?

It'll be fixed when it gets to Nigeria. These parts are available in Nigeria. Buying cars like this is the best way to work around a lean budget.

Following sir........Let's see what 2019 holds.

Weldone Sir, keep on the good work. My Peugeot 607 V6 Manual is saying Hi to the Boss of the Bosses. She's 4 years this month. Let's see what 2019 holds for us. To get Benz dey hungry me no be small oo... Yesso, if we no drive Benz, wetin we gain? lol. Guys, with Kakaki u can't go wrong. I'm a testimony!

Good day sir, want to commend you for the great job you are doing. For cars that are posted as clean, do u still do physical inspection before payment or you rely on the report posted about the car. Thank you sir

Thank you so much for the business opportunity. It was a pleasure delivering this 607 and the trip to Germany then, are still held fondly in my memories.

On a more personal note, I appreciate your support and reviews. It's super helpful and makes the process of getting new leads, from initial contact to payment so much faster. New leads will say (If FiftyFifty did business with this guy and 4 years on, not only is he still happy about the deal but plans to purchase another car, this must be a business platform I can trust) Thank you!!

With regards to 2019, only God knows what it holds for us. All we can do is to make plans, and every day we wake up to the gift of life, take steps towards making our goal a reality. I believe that sooner rather than later, we'll be ready to purchase the Benz. I'm looking forward to it.

Thank you for your kind words. As strange as it may sound, it's not advisable to buy *Clean* cars from Copart or IAAI because these platforms are for salvaged cars. It's better to pick a car with a few damages that meet the standards I have highlighted above.

If a seller has a so-called clean car, he can take it to Manheim and ADESA auction platforms and get more money for it. Manheim and Adesa conduct a thorough pre-inspection on all cars before listing it on their platforms. Copart and IAAI are not that thorough.

A clean car on Copart or IAAI - Question is: What is the seller hiding?

Having said that, if you require physical inspection for a car on Copart or IAAI, yes it can be done. Timing will be a challenge though. Because most times, the period between when a car is uploaded and its sale date is not enough to get a mechanic to that location for pre-inspection.

What car are you interested in buying? And how much have you set aside for this project? Based on your budget, it might be better for us to buy from either Manheim or Adesa.

Thanks a lot for the clarifications looking at lexus Rx 350 2010 to 2012 model or toyota higlander 2010 to 2012 model. Im still budgeting between 4m to 4.5m. Or basically any reliable Sound Suv that drives well and wont put too much holes in my pocket in terms of parts and maintenance. Thanks.

Kakaki yet again I am here asking for a friend on a low budget. Is it possible for get a golf 4, 206 or golf 3 from copart and automatic? What will it cost to land in Nigeria? Is it preferable to get one from Manheim or Odessa?

BeansAndBread:
Oh, thanks for the time.

You should also note that the vehicle will most likely have other mechanical issues and they may not be stated on the auction sites.

Don't be deceived into thinking the bumper is all there is. Vehicles are not cheap and sellers are not stupid.
