Hi peeps, hope you're all well.
I'll cut to the chase. Back in November 2020, I won a car on Copart Salvage auction which was advertised as a Category S vehicle, didn't have much damage on it, start and drove with no airbag, chassis or engine damage. I enquired prior to make sure it was an Insurance entry which it was so I went ahead and bought it.
I had a very close family member pass away suddenly around that time so I completely put off any work or car repairs, plus I had a lot of other projects on which I've also been getting through.
Finally got around to sorting this car out, and randomly did a Hpi check on it (not doing one prior and trusting copart) and got the shock of my life.
Copart have sold me a CAT B car, advertised as CAT S. This car is useless to me now. Copart cover themselves with all their disclaimers, but literally, I'm SERIOUSLY out of pocket, over £7,000 .
Any recommendations please? Any previous experiences like this?
Thanks
