Yep, I've repaired and retitled 3 salvage cars. Resale value is trash but for something you're going to keep for a long time to use yourself it makes sense.
Appreciate the reply. $24K wouldn't be horrible, but If one could be had @ $30-32, more intact, probably worth the extra money. I'm in no major rush, will just keep an eye out.
Hey @OX1 if your planning the V-8 swap here are some guys that are doing it with a Coyote.
This is the episode that they are "fitting" it in there. Kinda gives you a preview of how "easily" it fits and what you might be up against. Personally, I think Godzilla is a much better fit for the Bronc. Those Coyote's are wiiiiiide up top. Plus the Bronc needs some good old fashioned torque.
Rock on brother!!!!
Yes I know , but it takes a lot more cash to get them back to street then it does to make it a total trail monster. A lot more fun as well. Lol
I've purchased and rebuilt four vehicles from Copart, so one thing to keep in mind: don't forget about the fees on top of your bid. After fees, a $30k winning bid will actually cost you $33k. You also have to purchase a membership in order to bid that high, and rules vary by state where in some states you cannot bid yourself unless you are licensed. See details here: https://www.copart.com/content/us/en/licensing/licensingoverview
Of course!!
On top of all that, wouldn't surprise me if jersey taxed you as income, the difference between an auction price and retail value (if not wrecked), LOL!!
