Keep in mind, salvage can be real broad. A coach may be stolen, driven a few miles and is paid off and goes to the salvage auction with nothing wrong with it. There are plenty of vehicles that have been wrecked and repaired that were hurt worse than a lot of salvage title vehicles. Newell is protecting their brand and reputation by not working on them. Coparts is brilliant, they started small and now are all over the world. If a toy has insurance, they sell it. On any given day, they have 150,000 vehicles for sale. The auctions are open to anyone with internet and a buyers card. The bids get run up because so many people are bidding and it becomes a frenzy. The fees are based on the selling price, and can add up quick. You really need to go look at an item before bidding, this the wholesale horse trader world, you win the bid, you own it. I've never had anyone ask me if my vehicle is salvage before working on it.
