The bidding process is fairly easy I hear. Anyone ever Buy from COPART? Their Headquarters is up the road from me. This GMC is in WA

That looks like a well cared for coach. It could be a great buy -- but not
from GA. :-)

Carlo,
I would also like to know the answer to your question about buying from
Copart.
I registered sometime back and look from time to time as I have seen Jaguar
XKE's going at a reasonable price and that would be one way of getting the
parts I need for my series 1 roadster.
Looks like most cars I will have to buy through an agent so that is why I
also would like to know the buying process

Note that it says "WA bill of sale" which means no title. That can be an indication of problems, and makes it more difficult to get registered or a new title.

op PERHAPS the age of the vehicle no longer allow/requires Cert if Title.

That's the surprising situation here in Connecticut. When I registered mine, I had a Florida title from the former owner but was informed I would not receive a new one from CT MVD.

This coach has been on there for a while. I called and was told it started but does not run.
The damage is much more than it appears.

Fred,
I remember seeing photos of acres of those boxes sitting on a storage
lot in Iowa. Winne nearly went under from that gas crisis.

Fred,

I remember one time in the 80's we were coming back from Charleston, SC with a strong head wind. This Winne Brave was struggling to make 35mph and we passed him in the GMC doing 60mph. That big box didn't do well in a head wind, but was strong in a tail wind.
