Anybody have a copart account?
I may be interested in purchasing a Daihatsu parts donor (if it stays below or around the £50 mark!), but don't envisage myself regularly buying
anything from copart.
Anybody here with an account that could do it for me? Car ends in <48 hours hence no other option.
Obviously would transfer all cash up front + beers or monetary beer equivalent.
Thanks

Do you have to be a trader to join Copart?

Dont think so for cat C & D but you need to be a breaker with certain certs for cat B.

The urgency of the matter has just significantly increased, as the rear right wheel fell off my car yesterday during an autotest!!!
The stub axle sheared off, looking at the failure, there must've been a crack in it already as half of the surface area where it sheared had
been contaminated with oil.
So I'm really desperate for that spares donor now!!! 
I'm aware of the hammer fees and collection fees and internet bidding fees etc. but if it ends at £50 it'll still work out cheap for me!

I was going to join and they dropped the £50 joining fee down to £29, my uncle has an account and has a recovery business, but you dont need to be a
trader.
Think about it, think about it again and then do it.

Thanks kj, I've not got an issue with the joining fee as such, it's just I wouldn't be able to complete the process before the car
ends! And they don't come up all too often...
Might have to bite the bullet and wait for the next one to come along

Cheers Keith, I'm just after the axles and props so he can keep the rest if he wants it.
I'll keep an eye on the auctions and see if one pops up again in Peterlee.
