    What annoys me is the Copart listing just says the 'Primary Damage' is Minor Dents and Scratches.... That does seem like a definite case of false advertising if the car is a written off import from the US.

    I'm sorry lads, but I have to disagree with you in the fact that you don't blame Copart. They are a US company and they would have known the full history of this car (especially as it's a high ticket car). This may be something they do on a regular basis if they can't sell a vehicle, they then send it to one of their sites in another country and hopefully they will get it sold there, as the info will be based on the vehicles time in that country and not from the US.
    I could be totally wrong in this, but somehow I don't think I am.

    Three things. Would Lamborghini in the USA not have a service history which would include mileage?
    Secondly, it does show the value of Car Vertical. I have seen people on here comment adversely about them, stating things have been missed on cars they have bought. This video shows how good it can be.
    Finally, I would hope the Motor Insurance Bureau (MIB) in the UK, would have this information. Experian too. When I sold cars, I would pass on information to them from time to time if a vehicle was suspect.
    It would be nice to know that someone wasn't going to get bitten on the bum in the future.

    Shows you how much due diligence Copart are doing on what they take in and market - this car had already been on their books back in the USA and I must admit I'm surprised they didn't pick that up.

    Surely Copart must have a ‘duty of care’ to their customers? If a company their size can’t do the due diligence checks on what they are selling it is very poor. Great video guys and the time flew by and it didn’t seem like 30 minutes! Keep them coming!

    Title changes go with the owner in the States. New owner, new title issued to the owner.
    Title washing is a thing though. Moving from one state to another to clean up a branded title.
    I grew up in the U.K. and now live in California. My wife used to be a title clerk at a dealership over here, sending paperwork to the DMV.
