    In a mad pickle. Copart sold me a CAT B car advertised as CAT S!

    Hi Guys, Just an update. Absolutely no help from Copart on this one at all. I managed to find out the insurance company that sold this to copart and asked them to review the pictures & report. They admitted that there's no way that this car should have been classed as a CAT B and that their...
