Hey guys, as you know, Copart and IAAI auctions are becoming more and more popular, and more people want to buy cars for up to 50% less than retail value. Today I’ll tell you how we helped buy an awesome car for someone who lives and breathes rebuilding cars.
Like many of us, I watch Youtube a lot and follow several bloggers who do rebuilds. I really respect people who do this with their own hands – to me it’s almost an art, because these guys are really good at what they do. So I was honestly surprised and happy when a blogger I’ve watched many times reached out to us. It was Chris Sullivan – I personally recommend checking out his Mercury Marauder series, it’s a really cool project!
Chris asked how everything works and started placing bids. He tried to win auctions on a Charger SRT Hellcat, Cadillac CTS-V, Corvette 3LZ Z06, and even a McLaren 720S!
In the end, he won this 2017 Cadillac CTS-V and is really happy with it.
And we’re happy we helped him get a great car. Check out his full buying story in his new video – I’m sure he’s going to build an awesome project!
He saved about 50%: purchase price was $29,259, while retail is around $57K. The car was theft recovered, it didn’t have keys, but overall Chris is very excited about this project, and we’re glad he got a car for such a cool build.
You all also know our friend and great blogger Matt Ross, and recently he picked up another cool car. Check out his new video about the BMW M3 – his experience is really interesting too. But if you’ve seen his previous videos, you remember he had another M3 before, spent a long time rebuilding it, and really loved that car. I was shocked when I found out it got totaled again.
But if you’re worried about Matt, here’s a small secret – a new video is coming soon on his YouTube channel, and there will be a very interesting car there. So make sure to subscribe and stay tuned.
And honestly, we really want feedback from you!
If you’ve already bought a car, let us know how it went and if you’re happy. And if you’re doing rebuilds yourself, send us your results – we’re proud of our buyers and would love to share your success stories.
