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.

I know of somebody who bought a motorbike from Coparts with the same claim but it was an insurance write off.

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.

Hi all I've had my 260 for a couple of years now but it just isn't getting used. It is an SE with additional option pack, cost around £30000 in 2004. There is an extensive service history. Over £1000 was spent in 2015 on all kinds of maintenance, including replacement new rear springs. That was about 5000 miles ago-it has done 66000 now.We put a pair of decent rear tyres on-that was all it needed when we bought it-and it has an MOT till next May. Everything works as it should, X Power exhaust sounds lovely!. Great car in excellent condition but we have too many cars and it is not used enough.
