Buying Repossessed Cars

Published: 21/08/2018

Repossessed vehicles sold at Copart are different to the vast range of salvage categorised vehicles we sell in that they often require little to no work and are more often than not the same condition as a used vehicle.

Repossessed vehicles arrive at Copart having been obtained from licenced credit brokers and are usually as a result of missed finance payments for the vehicle. As a result the vehicle is seized from the owner and eventually delivered to one of our facilities.

Our repossessed vehicles range from Audis, Toyotas, Vauxhalls and more so you’re bound to find a vehicle of interest. Many of the vehicles have a starting bid of £0 and some even have the Buy it Now option. Why not take a look at what’s currently available? View repossessions
