@@dealerauctionnightmare4689 What other site doesn't charge extravagant fees? Other sites I signed up for will literally rack on so many fees. If I won a bid for a mere 50 bucks. The total out the door goes up to 800+. Are there sites that won't jack up the price like that?
Absolutely! The one car I bought through Copart from Randy at Auto Auction Rebuilds for $2,600 cost me over $3,240 after fees. And they have gone up since then!
Got T-boned by a red light runner, and my paid for 2017 Volt got sent to a Copart place... I had to go there to get personal items out of it. The overall vibe of copart at least here in TX is shady as hell. You get the sense that the place is trying to screw it's customers via fees, and the people doing the buying and selling are trying to screw each other via flipping. Bonus: Had a few things stolen out of my car from the people at copart (battery booster and portable compressor)
It's possible that people looking at the auction, and not the actual copart employees stole those items, as generally these action places let people look inside and sometimes start vehicles completely without supervision. I have no evidence to back it up, but I'm sure some people go and look through the cars at auction just to take loose and unattended items from new lot vehicles.
@@jwalster9412 This was 12 hours after the crash, the car wasn't available to any public facing or brokers due to insurance being involved in that time frame, I was the first person down there in the morning so the only people who had their hands on it was co part employees.
Wasn’t really stolen. If it got sent to Copart because your car was totaled out, it’s Coparts car then. Should’ve taken your items when you had the chance
Dude, I was watching a 2003 Pontiac Trans Am Ceta edition that was flood damaged at the Tampa Copart. By the time it sold, it was at a cash price of $4,500. The water line was about the same height like your Bentley so I knew the only electrical there is for the seats. I tried finding someone with a license to buy there but, couldn’t get a hold of anyone.
There is a g550 on Copart in Detroit that someone bought from the NC floods the water line was the roof! they cleaned it and now back on Copart for sale the bid now is over $8,000 😬
I don't know why I thought that but I thought that cool part only sold from businesses or dealerships or insurance totals I've never thought that you could buy a copart car take it on home do a little you know whatever you want to call it to it and then send it back to the cold part auction to make money off of cars that don't run.
That LR3 for sure was worth the $500 some bucks and the AMG Benz SUV for 675 or whatever it went for probably over a thousand for both out the door with their stupid fees, right away my thought was even on the Escalade that you could make money back on parts right away I'm sure with that AMG just the doors or the glass or the interior bits or certain parts maybe transmission maybe water pump ETC you'd make your money back quick but Sam did say they were the least desirable so I don't know what the demand is on those and how available parts are for them nowadays but that LR3 I would have took and got running as a daily or at least tried to, too clean for the price you might be able to get more money for scrap on the LR3 but then again I forgot about fees lol. But does anyone else agree with me that just parting out those vehicles alone you should be able to make at least triple your money if not more? That Escalade you'd probably make at least half your money back on just the battery alone I'm sure it's got some life left but either way just selling the battery to a scrap yard and it's weight alone should net you at least for 500 bucks easy. What do you guys think?
😂😂😂... Sounds like you have the "Christmas Fruit cake syndrome "...Ev'ry body says Fruit cake looks yummy and delicious, but Ev'ry year how many get sold and furthermore how many said fruitcakes bought actually get eaten.... So that should answer your questions...Yeah, parts galore, but...who wants 'em, and whose buying 'em...???😮😮!!!
I think the front wheels on the 63 AMG are askew. As you panned around the car, it seemed that the front right is slightly toed in, and the left is far more toed in. So maybe there was damage to the steering linkage from hitting something under the front? Whacking a steering rod would do that of course, and have probably damaged the sub frame at the same time.
Samcrac as always your videos thru the years funny and so informative,keep doing so,also i have bought a few items promoted on your channel,like Carplay,etc,,,Thanks Sam..Best for 2025...Quick questions,are you still friends with Rich Benoit or is it just playful rivalry,i like his channel,but by far prefer yours😀😀😀
Sam, make more of these, please! You're a fountain of knowledge when it comes to salvage auctions and those videos are so much better than the fake stepmother or dime-a-dozen supercar repairs that you never finish. This is your niche.
Buying online is a hustle. I’ve seen many “off lot” cars say they sell for the moon but then are relegated by the same seller, week after week, month after month. Always just a scam trying to get you to think someone else bid up high.
Samcrac when you're looking at that Escalade to your left was that beautiful solera made by Toyota I own one used cars that I'm telling you they are awesome 😎
My thoughts. Copart is a pain in the A**. I live in Georgia, so I look for vehicles in the souteast and especially GA and NC. (Individuals can bid on salvage cars.) I'm retired, so I like to visually inspect vehicles that I plan to bid on. My cousin has bought cars from police impound. Real pig in a poke, since you can't even inspect, but at least where he is the cars come with full title. Copart is a pain in the A** (Did I already say that?)
Anyone in the business knows auctions, especially the junk auctions are used parts central...for free parts. There is also the sub culture of especially not nice persons whose entire business revolves around 'looks good, but what's inside' cars. The lesson you learn...at your own expense...is: Take note of who you buy from. If they did you once, they'll do you again.
Have you ever found a 911 turbo S when you were down there? I'm obsessed with the car but I don't think I would ever punk the cash down for a used retail one

Do a video on getting a rebuilt car inspected to get back on the road to sell.
The real question is how do you buy them in fla? Do you have a broker here? If so, share the contact lol
The fees are insane.
at Copart....yes!
@@dealerauctionnightmare4689 is there better?

@trbstang which car did you buy from AAR
6 videos in a month??? Who are you and what have you done with Sam? 😂
He doesn’t finish a car so he has time.
Revenue ia highest in december
Well he did mention that he is saving for something fency
Copart bedtime stories with uncle Sam 🙌
Stepmom is gonna tuck you in!
Can you for once just take us start to finish on one project. Just once. Never any closer to anything you do.
Bentley coupe is finished
Bentley is going back to the auction
Yeah he's not that kind of cartuber sadly, because I like his content..

separated by oceans, united by scammers flipping crappy cars at auctions 😂
man you are just pumping out content and I'm loving it
I really enjoyed this style. Thanks for putting the sold price on the screen. Extra work but it made the video much better.
Sam, Keep doing videos like this. It's always nice to see and hear your thought process and advice with years of experience behind it.

Quick flip for a low budget St”d”ealer
I had a 2010 BMW 650I convertible 6 speed in purple over camel. Great car.
walking around co-part makes me think we are walking round sams paddock minus the cows lol
Keep these types of videos coming with the pricing…AWESOME
Samcrac is the goat, it is no surprise he is successful in his craft.
Wow, I really enjoy your evals. With the sale prices, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
In the UK a £4k car from Copart will cost £5457+ delivery...
Allô SAM love M.T.L Canada Québec merci wow 😮😊
he finished killing off the battery on the escalade. it just has a bad dashboard. since the center light turned on !!!
Every single video you post, it’s a vibe. Keep it up!

@ToyManFlyer1100 you the one talking about fruit cake bro look in the mirror like nobody said shit about fruit cake but you fruit cake.
Them fees they make up are ridiculous
Wheels on 6 series are oryginal. Style 101
Mr. Crack and Sage wishing you and your families a very happy New Year.
9:30 "Cayenne what...JUST A CAYENNE?!" made me lol

So maybe there was damage to the steering linkage from hitting something under the front? Whacking a steering rod would do that of course, and have probably damaged the sub frame at the same time.
Like or not bro.. Somehow you still have my attention to the end 😅
Just plain and simple 🎉
Yes I loved the final bid/sales prices and Sam you were pretty close on many of them. Great video!
Always enjoy the auction videos. You should mix in more.
I love these videos that show the price Sam, thanks
Some absolute BS made up fees there, surprised it didn’t have a breathing whilst bidding fee.
Don't pee in the yard, that's a $55 fee.
That cayenne looks like a toy compared to the Cadillac and that pick up truck
Turn on the green light. The man wants a green suit!
ML63 for $675?! Yes, please! Easily part that motor and drop in an LS & ditch the factory air suspension.
Pre-recorded salvage auction video...Merry Xmas Sam...
LR3 LR4'are the same, probably the best generation discovery made

Rich is a great friend of mine
20:13 is SWEET! I wonder how much it went for?
PISTA DE AUDIO EN ESPAÑOL. POR FAVOR.
Great video Sam 💪🏽💪🏽👍👍
LS swapped 6 Series BMW would be perfect. They are cheap
Sam, make more of these, please! You're a fountain of knowledge when it comes to salvage auctions and those videos are so much better than the fake stepmother or dime-a-dozen supercar repairs that you never finish. This is your niche.
I love these walk around videos
Yea, be aware of all the fees! I was caught unawares when I started. Sometimes are outrageous.
We will leave it to you. Cheers.
How many range rovers will it take for Sam to actually finish one 💯

Sam- Come to Manheim, PA for a real auction. 😉
Copart fees/membership is insane.
Happy Christmas mate
Sam, please add the year for the vehicle next time!
yeah these vids are awesome thanks sam
CL cannot be even compared to that ugly 6 series. CL styling is timeless.
Your videos are always so heartfelt and fun at the same time! Thank you for your ability to bring joy and smiles into our lives!🎱🥰🪝
I always wondered about the hidden issues in salvage vehicles. Your videos are very relaxing. Do you edit them yourself?
I do 100%. Thanks for noticing!
These lot excursions are cool episodes
Happy the Christmas Sam to you and your team, and continued success for 2025. Greetings from Prague, CZ
That 650 is minimum 5x as reliable as that merc lol.. Cone on sami
Why you open the Bio mold door dude, I almost puked!
more lot videos! They are great
E63.....you got one on Sam Crac Park....... but its ugly? Everyone hated the Bangle design but they will be future classics!
Is there anything you wont pitch?
I gotta pay my friend $200 just so he could buy the car for me since he got the license out here in Pa. Plus the crazy fees on iaai . 🤦🏽
Sam and Doug need to open their own open salvage yard. “Lemons and Bids”.
The luxury cars are nice and all, but I'd be more interested in a Silverado or Sierra.
Sage for the win! Must be old film. Whatever happened to him???
Duramax with those wheels looks like it works out but it skipped leg day.
That C4 at the very end holy shit
I love that you showed a lot of Corvettes in this video, both in the intro and at the end :)
Haven't been to Copart since 2021ish. The fees and having to use the app killed it.
If the Highlander was made in Japan I bet it still starts and runs.
LS swap that 7 series BMW
... And make it truly valueless.... Genius 😜
Will you ever do a Yaris Gr? What’s your opinion on it hehe
They are not sold in the US. Corolla GR is the closest here.
6 Series is a beautiful looking car. Ya'll can keep hating, but I'd prefer that over that old C-Series
First! Love you Sam!!
Lots of cars are just done!
UK is 20% + shipping.
She'll dig the little red sting-ray
6 series BMW is top
Love the Salvage Lot videos.
SAME you never finish a project and you’re starting to look homeless ! You ok bruh? lol
And I’m just busting mr crack . I know new content generates more clickbait
Yes, like these types of videos
Title Should say, How to Buy stuff I can’t fix or shouldn’t fix.
Wow seems like the auction bubble has burst. Those prices are WAAAY down from a few auction videos ago.
Thank you for your videos! They are always so high quality and interesting. I can see that you are professionals.🏠😅☄️
To become a better buyer like Sam, no thanks.
Do a video on getting a rebuilt car inspected to get back on the road to sell.

I used to drive an 06 LR3 V8 SE. was a great truck but soooooo unrealiable. pretty sure it was the BMW V8, I could be wrong, 4.4L
The best way to stop paying auction fees is to stop buying at auctions. They are price gouging.
Great thanks nice to see the sold prices it helps us that haven't got a clue what we are looking for keep it up Sam .
Sam, sell me that white AMG GT
Weird to hear "it's a stick" at 64 years old I've never driven an automatic......
Waiting for gasket maker to set… or panel bond… 😂😂😂
The 6 series FTW
Have you ever found a 911 turbo S when you were down there? I'm obsessed with the car but I don't think I would ever punk the cash down for a used retail one
