1. While driving on a Pennsylvania highway, John Smith got into an accident in his 2014 Lamborghini Aventador.
2. A tow truck picked up John’s car at the scene of the accident and took it directly to the closest body shop.
3. The body shop contacted John’s insurance company to determine whether or not the car is a total loss.
4. The insurance company deemed the car a total loss and decided to sell through Copart Auto Auctions.
5. Copart employees received the vehicle and added it to their inventory where they took pictures and performed additional services.
6. After a period of time, Copart employees began the total loss paperwork.
7. The vehicle was set up for online auction where Basic and Premier Members placed their bids.
8. Craig Jones won John’s 2014 Lamborghini Aventador for only 1/3 of the estimated retail value!
9. After Craig made his payment, he scheduled his transportation/pickup and arranged for the title to be mailed directly to his house.
