Liars and a cheat of a firm is probably more accurate as a "code of buisness conduct" rather than "honesty and Integrity" as stated on their website. Bought Lot No: 33552937 which was discribed as unrecorded, primary; rear end damaged, secondary; minor dints and scratches. Run and drive. All panels were in place with only the rear bumper looking slightly detached/misaligned and a scuff in the middle. Had the vehicle collected with a round trip of 400 miles and then took it to a local body shop. After having the car washed and looking in the boot we found that the car had gone through extensive and extreamly poor previous repairs, the whole back end from the inside was creased with signs of hammering, rusted welding and cracked seems. Retail price 14.1k Copart purchase price £9.8k incl of fees and collection. Estimated cost of repairs in excess of 5.6k the damage is so bad that it would require a whole new back end with the boot floor cut out and a new one welded in place. Spoke to Copart Rochford and this was the response: I am writing following your recent complaint regarding Lot number 33552937. Whilst I understand your frustration and disappointment that the vehicle appears to have more damage than expected, I am unable to assist further as our terms and conditions clearly state that all lots offered for sale are sold ‘as is where is’. This means that we do not give any express or implied warranty that any lot will be fit for a particular purpose, be of satisfactory quality (or have been maintained at any level of quality whatsoever), be in a roadworthy condition or be mechanically sound. For your reference, I have provided an extract of our membership terms and conditions below: 8.1 ALL LOTS WE OFFER FOR SALE ARE SOLD “AS IS WHERE IS”. “AS IS WHERE IS” SALES ARE SALES WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY).

You will note from point 8.1 of the terms and conditions mentioned above that as a member it is your responsibility to investigate (which may include physically viewing the lot) the lot to your satisfaction prior to placing any bid. To help members with this, lots are available to be viewed at our facilities during the week prior to their auction and we also have a specific ‘Additional Information’ email address for each of our facilities so that members can request additional information for lots they are interested in. We do make every effort to ensure we provide accurate descriptions of lots however, our descriptions are based solely on a visual inspection of the lot to ascertain the primary and secondary areas of damage present. Although such damage is highlighted to you in our advert for a vehicle, I must remind you that in line with point 8.1 set out above, the information we provide on an advert is purely for convenience only and, having agreed to the terms and conditions, you have agreed to place no reliance whatsoever on such information when you are deciding whether or how much to bid as the responsibility lies solely with you to investigate the lot to your satisfaction. Again, please accept my apologies for the frustration caused. If I can be of any further assistance in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me. I ask, where is your honesty in letting buyers know that this lot had previous poor repairs?
