Welcome to AutoHackers’ Weekly Digest – September 29th, 2024

Every week, I share insights from running insurance auto auction marketplace CARS4.BID. The goal of this digest is to help you avoid common mistakes when buying at auctions and to assist you in purchasing your dream car at the best possible price!

The most expensive car found at Copart

This week I found a Lamborghini Urus that Copart claimed was worth $1 million. Wow. Well, the car isn’t worth that much. After some quick research, I found similar cars with fewer miles for way less $.

This is a good reminder – never trust the retail value listed by auctions. Always check the values yourself and compare them to what the auction says.

By the way I’m getting more active on social media and will be sharing cool finds every day. Let’s connect and stay in touch!

Again, one of our customers won it, but failed to pay for it. His loss is your gain. 

It comes with a clean title from Massachusetts, good mileage 127K, retails at over $10,000. Minor side damage, many parts can be reused.
