Why do you say it was sold? It's still listed on the site, and I thought the sale date was in august.....

If you read back through the thread, ROTRY PWR said this is was his car that he imported from the US, but then sold to someone. This is the "sold" sctota was referring to.

I called the facility today, their rep told me that there's not point in signing up in Canada because you have to be a registered car dealer to place a bid. Unless one of you, or someone you know is willing to place a bid on behalf of other members here, this car is gonna go to another idiot who'll wrap it around a pole

you guys need to be an auto dealer to bid on copart auctions and have to be bonded 10% of the amount you can bid up to(so if you want to bid up to $10k you have to give the auction a $1k deposit).

no the listed price isn't the selling price, it is the current STARTING bid for the live auction which starts on the date/time listed.

some cars go for dirt, others go for more than they're worth without rhyme or reason.

will let you guys know up front, the start bid is only a fraction of the price the car will eventually go for on the live auction.

i did watch a 2004 Lotus Elise with 28k miles in running condition with what looked like only mangled body panels go for $6800 though(in california).

I bid $4550 on it and it sold to someone in Maryland (or somewhere around there) for $4600.

After buyers fee's, taxes and shipping I bet that guys into the car for $6500.
