~ About Copart....When I won the bid on the rescue SRT a couple of years ago, and paid the Dealer his 500.00 fee and paid the auction bill, they wanted another 1100.00 for what they called a "gate fee". I asked them what was that for, and they said it was to bring it up to the gate. I asked how they were going to accomplish this and they said, "We have a forklift". I said, " Can't you hook a chain to it and pull it to the front gate?". The reply was, "No, we don't do that.". So, I had already verified that the car would run and drive, so I asked if I could get it and drive it out to the trailer. They agreed...but would not waive the 1100.00 gate fee.
~ Just a story on how Copart operates. Good luck with that SRT.
