    I've given up trying to work out why some things work and some don't. The amount of time I have wasted trying to work out why Facebook sometimes comes up with some posts and not others and then displays the others and not the originals......very frustrating.

    Generally because they try to be too clever, deciding what you want (or worse still enforcing it) because that is what most would want to happen. As far as I can see, Facebook postings and their visibility obey no normally accepted human logic. It appears to be solely based on AI deciding that, in order to ensure we are all subjected to the maximum degree of exploitation.

    Even Mr. Trump and Mrs. May appear to have noticed recently! (surprisingly in both cases).

    Copart No. 304 - it says "Front End Damage" - what's actually wrong with it?

    Description doesn't say more about that. Unless anyone has viewed the car or knows it's recent history, that will remain a mystery I imagine, at least until after tomorrow perhaps.

    My guess going from the description the area behind the bumper is probably damaged, plastic bumpers can hide a lot of damage as they will go back into there original shape.


    If I had the time I would be tempted to go and see how bad it really is.


    At least it does not appear to be recorded or at least that is what they are claiming, I know of somebody who bought a motorbike from Coparts with the same claim but it was an insurance write off.

    Too much of a risk otherwise, unless it stayed at the current bid maybe, but the reserve is higher anyway.

    Were that the case with this car, I guess you would have a good chance of being able to walk away from the deal without commitment.

    I'd have it to be honest, but for it to be auctioned like this, must mean there is at least some serious damage to the front suspension/underside/whatever.

    Plus that with all the other issues they need sorted... one hell of a time sink.

    £4550, not a chance from me. Time and money pit, but hope someone on here lets us know the condition.

    Final bid £4,550 to someone in the UK, and Sold.
    There was a lot of bidding, all but 1 bidder (Poland) from the UK.
