    Run and Drive Copart Roadster?

    Your enthusiasm makes me feel better about losing the auction. My broker and I weren't communicating well that day. Please start a thread of the entire purchase thru complete rebuild because I really want to see you save this car. A good build thread adds values to the finished car. How are you...

    RIP #994

    They keep running this poor car thru the auction hoping for a higher bid. This time it maxed out at only $7,400.

    It's back so the last auction did not meet reserve and Copart was unable to negotiate a deal between highest bidder and the seller. They will try it again! https://www.copart.com/lot/56809608

    Looks like it was sold on approval for $16,900. It might come back to auction or maybe it is actually sold.

    Run and Drive Copart Roadster?

    I missed winning by $500. The winning bid was $29000 out of Illinois. Oh well. If the winner is here on the forum, PM me. I have a guy willing to drive the Roadster to his shop to get it charging ASAP. He is a stones throw from the site. The battery is at 33 miles as per my inspector at 10AM...

    Run and Drive Copart Roadster?

    I hired a guy to look at it today. Copart couldn't find the keys so he gave up. I'll go with your assessment. It had 14% (probably 14 miles) on December 5th. That's 12 days to lose 14 miles in cold weather with people fiddling with it - very plausible to now be dead. So, a bricked battery, bad...

    Run and Drive Copart Roadster?

    So true snaffah. I didn't start the thread so the cat was already out of the bag. Besides, the experts who buy these to part them out or repair have automated searches on eBay, Copart, IAA... They already had this one on their radar so no big deal to talk about it. Random potential buyer pool is...

    Run and Drive Copart Roadster?

    Someone PM'd me, the newbie, with body questions. Lucky my buddy knows his stuff. An entire bare carbon fiber body would be impossible without the car so as to perfectly align a last layer of fabric between panels. Rebody-ing an entire Roadster would be very expensive. The rear cover is huge...

    I have a buddy that makes fiberglass custom cars. He can make fiberglass molds so we can replicate every panel in carbon fiber. Yes, big job. Yes, possible. A bricked main battery is the major issue...

    Run and Drive Copart Roadster?

    A Service Disconnect of the battery would be great, except it isn't my car. I don't want to kill the car so others don't have a fair chance of inspecting it. Actually, I do wish to dissuade other buyers, but my conscience gets the best of me.

    Run and Drive Copart Roadster?

    This one seems like it is all about the battery and body panels, but the little stuff can add up fast. The body parts on eBay all have their own damage - none are ready to use. The battery....

    Run and Drive Copart Roadster?

    I am new to the board after researching this hail damaged Roadster. I kind of want to save it! I had a local buddy inspect the car for me. The batteries are almost dead. The screen displays a "Coolant System Fault" and "Maintenance Required." But, it currently runs and drives. I suggested he...
