Video Description
Pete Kell of Kell Motors in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania says Copart is a great resource for his business. "It's a well-run auction. I do enjoy coming out and looking at the cars. In almost all cases, the staff has been very good. … It's a good resource for me." Pete visits Copart locations frequently to personally check out the vehicles that interest him.
As far as how he makes his determination on which cars to bid on, Pete specified, "When I come into the yard, I first look at the condition as far as panel fit and how well it was taken care of. I also look at rust because that's very important in the Northeast. Lately I've been buying…mostly, lightly hit cars, eight to 10 years old." Fortunately for Pete, the Vehicle Finder can narrow his search down, so he doesn’t waste his time looking through every car listing. He can search for specific types of vehicles, damage and narrow the results by year.
For those considering becoming a Copart Member, Pete’s most important tip is, "…If you're a public buyer and you're just looking for one car, have an inspector look at it." Third party inspectors are a great resource for Copart Members, especially when visiting a Copart location in person isn’t possible.
