I think the first 3 are easy enough for diy repair but the fiesta could work out quite costly needing to go on a jig. I think theres money to be made on any of the other 3 but the fiesta would only be worth buying if you were keeping it for yourself
The TT and ST would've been probably the most fun cars. As the weather is beginning to be nice here in the UK go for the a TT convertible but remember that this weather won't last too long lol. I personally would've gone for the ST but an easier one to fix.
When you were trying to start to fiesta I’m pretty sure you need to push the clutch down which is probably why it wouldn’t start? Great videos BTW a real help!
Hi paul dean here. Top notch video as normal fella well done of the 4 id go for the mini pretty quick flip job. Vw and st look abit involved and im sure we will see you do another tt soon. Well done dean.
Came across this channel and subscribed straightaway, look forward to more videos I've been buying cars from copart for a few years, the only branch I've had problems with Is the wombourne/Wolverhampton one, avoid this place if you're thinking of buying from copart , the car I bought was misrepresented, had extra damage, and items missing when it was delivered [ I viewed the car before bidding] I still haven't had a call back from the manager after 2 months, emailed and called 20 times
Go for the TT Paul you know you want to,that ST looked to be a lot of work did you not notice see the front wheels being off kilter as well. Keep up the good work.
Hi thanks for your content. I'm planning to buy a car for myself not business. Is there any other place apart from copart? It feels like everyone is buying there and copart is a middleman. Can you go directly to insurers or car rentals?
There is also ASM which is part of a group of salvage companies and IAA, but they don't have many cars. Unfortunately you cant go direct to the insurance company unless your buying your own car back after an accident
As a ford owner (2.5l smax) would love to see you go down the ford line. Fiesta probably my least favourite though of the available models. That said unsure how easy it is to get parts. Had a nightmare looking for my smax for a couple of bits but part sourcing isn't an area I'm an expert on. Maybe why I'd love to see you do a ford. :)
Your least favourite car is one of Fords most popular car and also very expensive when looking for a salvage one. it is on the cards, but it's all about being at the right place at the right time.
@@CarsForPaul yeah definitely see the popularity in it. My mum is onto her third fiesta. Just got a preference for the bigger focus, Mondeo and smax. Do agree a fiesta would be a great car to work on though just personal opinion.
Hi Paul so when u buy cat N and repair it does it need special mot or certificate when you sell it and does it say cat N in the log book? Thanks for this channel great effort I love it.
I think the scirroco and fiesta are beautiful cars but will take too long to fix. The tt and cooper seem like a good idea but it's worth remembering mini parts might cost more as they're owned by bmw. Personally, I'd be stuck between mini and audi
Great vid as usual, Paul - I think I will definitely visit Copart for my next car, be good to see the cars before I buy. One question - where do you advertise your cars? EBay? Gumtree? Autotrader? Oh, great to see you might do a Mini next - just bought a Cat U Clubman from Copart!
My seat altea was damaged in a very similar way to that Audi and the altea is cat s. I suppose because a body shop pricing for insurance purposes would say it required a new rear quarter?
The Leon is now finished (see Mondays video) if you are flipping cars you need to keep your cost to a minimum in order to make a profit as its harder to sell a CAT car and it will go for considerably less
Hi Paul great video as usual mate my vote would be the tt or the mini last resort for me would be the festa in my opinion good luck I know one thing what ever you do will be great content for your channel
Hi Paul! What's the most local co-part to you? And also did you find you had to pay £50 to join? I found your comment on one of the DIY gang videos and found channel from there! I'd love to one day start my own UA-cam channel! I'm also into buying cars and selling them on!! Keep up the good videos!! I'd go for the VW Scirocco!!
Hi. Nice videos.. appreciate the info. But, I'm looking to buy a vehicle from copart and think your help would be good. How can i contact you privately?
Hi Paul great channel I have just started watch you. Lots of info which is really great. Very different to a lot of the American rebuilds and and Copart over there. I have been trying to find autoauctions.io that you mentioned but can only find American site. Any help would be great
It means that the seller has authorized Copart to wash and vacuum or provide a protective covering to protect the interior in the case of a broken window or roof if it is a convertible.
With the Fiesta, you need to press the clutch to start it with the power button
I think the first 3 are easy enough for diy repair but the fiesta could work out quite costly needing to go on a jig. I think theres money to be made on any of the other 3 but the fiesta would only be worth buying if you were keeping it for yourself
Great video Paul, you have really helped show differences of cars in the flesh vs copart adverts.

I'd say the mini but that tt is tempting too.... Get a quick fix convertible ..... Top goes down, price goes up!
Great video Paul thank you. This channel gets better and better!

Good to know, thanks
and welcome to the CFP club
ive got a fiesta cat s with sane damage as audi tt.i think because its part of the structure of the car they always cat s them when damaged there
Go for the TT Paul you know you want to,that ST looked to be a lot of work did you not notice see the front wheels being off kilter as well. Keep up the good work.
Hi Paul, great video and content, quick question what if you have a battery pack for the dead batteries, do Copart object to that? many thanks.
Javied Sharif as long as it’s a car that you have agreed to look at then no
@@CarsForPaul great many thanks.

Hi interesting to know the TT was possible a previous cat s .surely copart should list that information in the comments.?

No, you don't need any special documents for Cat N or S, I have a video coming up on the subject in the next 2 weeks
@@CarsForPaul thanks Paul, all the best.
I think that you should go for a Vw scirocco
I’d say the scirocco!! I almost bought that red one you featured!!
The mini would be perfect, a good quick job
I think the scirroco and fiesta are beautiful cars but will take too long to fix. The tt and cooper seem like a good idea but it's worth remembering mini parts might cost more as they're owned by bmw. Personally, I'd be stuck between mini and audi
Do you go to normal car auctions too? I'm thinking of starting to buy and sell cars, I'll be looking for cars until no major mechanical problems
I tend to stick to Copart as I can find all types of interesting projects and clean cars too
Hi Paul, i know you have done breakdown on costs of repairing ford ka. Are you going to tell us profit you have made on it? Thanks
Notice you didn't mention the front wheels on the ST pointing in different directions.
Good spot, I actually missed that.
Hope you go for the Sirocco .
Great content ! How hard is it to shift cat s, n cars ? Fully repaired how long would you say it takes to sell?
All depends on the car, my KA took 5 days whereas my seat took 6 weeks
Great vid as usual, Paul - I think I will definitely visit Copart for my next car, be good to see the cars before I buy. One question - where do you advertise your cars? EBay? Gumtree? Autotrader? Oh, great to see you might do a Mini next - just bought a Cat U Clubman from Copart!
For lower value cares I use eBay and Gumtree, for higher value cars Auto trader
Really interesting this Paul can’t wait for the next upload go for the Mini summers coming
My seat altea was damaged in a very similar way to that Audi and the altea is cat s. I suppose because a body shop pricing for insurance purposes would say it required a new rear quarter?
Is there anyway that you could get rid of the background audio noise? Like maybe a lapel microphone?
yeah a bit annoying, I had the window open which was a big mistake and by the time I got to post-production, it was too late to redo
Is it worth repairing and selling on for a flip also. How did the Leon go?
The Leon is now finished (see Mondays video) if you are flipping cars you need to keep your cost to a minimum in order to make a profit as its harder to sell a CAT car and it will go for considerably less
Hi Paul great video as usual mate my vote would be the tt or the mini last resort for me would be the festa in my opinion good luck I know one thing what ever you do will be great content for your channel
while i would love to see you fix the shirocco, i, like everyone else think you should buy the mini because you can fix and sell it quicker
Hi mate how did the sale on the ka go did you make a profit?
I broke even in order to get a quick sale

Great video

Hi Paul great channel I have just started watch you. Lots of info which is really great. Very different to a lot of the American rebuilds and and Copart over there. I have been trying to find autoauctions.io that you mentioned but can only find American site. Any help would be great
It's the same site, if you put the lot details from a UK copart site, it will show you the UK car
100% the VW
What does "Enhanced Vehicle" mean? Great Videos tho
It means that the seller has authorized Copart to wash and vacuum or provide a protective covering to protect the interior in the case of a broken window or roof if it is a convertible.
@@CarsForPaul But Does Enhanced Vehicles Run?
@@yyoung_ab2591 Not necessary, if it runs and drives, Copart will state that in addition to the enhanced notification
Try some Japan cars
Toyota GT86
Ive got a red one for sale on ebay just now accident damaged.
