I was looking through Copart and came across this:

>LINK< (http://copart.co.uk/c2/homeSearch.html?_eventId=getLot&execution=e5s1&lotId=10757051&returnPage=SEARCH_RESULTS)

It's a catagory B so can only be broke for parts. Been to look at it and it has no rust and runs etc but it can only be brought by a scrapyard or breakers. I really don't see why insurance companies do this type of thing. A white one went through last week that was rotten and vandalised and was a catagory D.

Because its a Nova. And will cost waaaaaaay more than its book value to fix. Hence scrapping it. Happens with newer cars aswell. Dont lose sleep over it!

I know that but I was just saying how a rotter went through last week and was worthy for the scrapyard whereas this one isn't.

That looks a very clean DERV which would be very rare now adays :(

Very unusual to see a clean derv, a lot of them where pool cars, and others used for epic millages.

Nice find, but if you have to be a breaker, then it's gonna end up either crushed or autograssed the shell.

you have to pay to register.
and send of proof of idenity
charged if the car isnt picked up in a certain time

like ebay but with out the messers.
my mate has an account, and is yet to buy anything, had a couple of bids.
alot of the stuff goes over the water to europe.

My dad's a member and has got a fair few cheap cars of there. If the Nova wasn't a Cat B then I would have got it because it's only about 5 minutes away!
