RJ,
Sorry if my posts conflicted with your thread. This forum is a great place to read and share different views from some very great minds.
I is awesome you found a way to purchase from Copart at a rate below what I have posted, Copart is a very expensive way to purchase a vehicle once all the fees are put on the invoice. The way I can see that you paid less than what I posted is (1) you did not pay with a credit card which reduced your cost in Copart fees from $495 to $410. And if you bid at a Copart terminal, at a Copart location (instead of the internet) you saved another $59. So, if you are a consumer winning a bid at $1600 at a Copart, and you did not pay with a credit card, the least you likely paid is $2069, plus the money order, bank wire transfer fee, as Copart does not accept cash over $400. I sense you paid Copart directly somewhere between $2128 and $2500, which is significantly above the $1600 you posted, and as you stated does not include tax, title, or license.
I have purchased two vehicles from Copart in the last 30 days and will likely purchase two more on Monday 12FEB2018. But I know the risks, which are very high, and also know my winning bid auction price is significantly below what I will actually be paying Copart for the vehicle. I think it is worthwhile to share on this public forum the real purchase cost of a Copart vehicle, not the winning bid price.
Best Wishes,
GON
