The intent of this post is to memorialize the death of this car showing it's v.i.n. and condition.

Once the link is gone to CoPart, nothing will be available.  Thus no documentation of tragedy, nothing ever happened

Someone on this site or other may buy this flood salt water intrusion damaged vehicle and later "forget" to mention this little incident

Thank you and good luck

Why are insurance company's allowed to sell totaled vehicles at auctions ?? In my eyes once the vehicle is totaled and payed off it should go to the crusher. But NO !!!!!! some scumbag individual buys a damaged vehicle performs some Micky mouse repairs and sells it to someone that has no idea that he just purchased a POS with branded title, that's where I think the real problem is.

  Mr Lincoln.  It still is, for a while longer, a free country.

    As with buying anything, buyer beware, and, do your due diligence.

They usually Total as Non-rebuildable is it is Freshwater Flood because of the Bacteria and Black Mold that grows but, since Saltwater doesn't grow Bacteria and Black Mold they will let it get rebuilt.  I have bought many Cars from Sadicos which is now CoParts here, a few were Flood Cars.

Thank you for your post. Im glad we have experienced, knowledgeable Registars to perform their jobs.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, please consider the source

There is a company near me that will EPD coat these bodies after properly cleaning them.

Certainly, there are some cars that can not be restored or repaired, especially in the case of fire.

Can you just imagine the look on the customers face who just brought his vehicle into the dealership to get some warranty work done and you show him a print out that looks like this about his ride
