It was written off whilst on the way home from the Italian Car Day at Brooklands.

Thought it might be worth bumping this thread as it appears I know work for Copart (Field Agent, whatever that is. I start next week). So, if there is still any interest in the company or signing up, I'm more than happy to find out anything you need to know. Chris Congratulations on a new job, I take it we can expect a steady stream of slightly damaged 80's 90's tat retro automobilia to be appearing in the for sale sections soon then  |

^^ What is that Chris? Looks like a cross between a 928 and a Capri. Looks Italian? Looks badly broken to me. And just as well it was LHD...... Nick |

Any idea what's the situation with motorcycles? It puzzles me that some are listed as cat C with just a few scratches.

Plus the insurance co. know that they can get seriously good money for them, at one point R1's and R6's were fetching nearly the book price for an undamaged example of the same year |

Is there a way to check what was the final price of a particular bike after the auction finishes without having an account with them? I've spotted a BMW 1200GS that looks the deal for me and the auction ends soon just not sure how high it can go on the sale day so would like to see some other bikes in action first before getting overexcited.

It probably depends which side pays for the claim. If unsure it's always about money...

A daft question but I just can't work it out. Just monitoring some lots and if the auction says no VAT and say ends at £1000 what would the bidder pay in the end?

This is how it breaks down if the auction ends at £175 (Probably the same for any price)
SALE PRICE 175.00
BUYER FEE 44.00
VIRTUAL BID FEE 5.00
LOAD 10.00
VAT CHARGES 11.80
BUYER PAYMENT 245.80

Thanks dude. That buyers fee is that some percentage of the sale price or just some standard fee? Also if it says No next to VAT I assume no vat is added.

Yes those fees are fixed regardless of sale price. I've never seen the VAT mentioned so can't comment

Worth remembering that Vat is always charged on commercial vehicles
