Can you use that transaxle in your build? How hard is it to get that motor running out of the car. That would be a great way to go if it can be done. You wouldn't need any adapter plates for your transaxle. Really good idea!

That is a lot of money for something that you cant see. If you have a salvage around you make friends with them and tell them what you are looking for. I have a good friend that owns a local salvage and he will pretty much get me what I want as long as I have the funds.

Alright thanks
I wonder what kind of license is needed

Funny, it's going to cost me $250 to use this dealer I'm using and they can't get this car for me...
any other car on there I can get but I don't know if I trust the other ones since I can't just go look at them. They're not verified as drivable.

Bad news, our license doesn't allow us to bid on "COD" cars either.  If you need help with other cars let me know.

Yea that's the one, it took me awhile to realize why I couldn't buy it since I've never done this before. It's only 2.5 hrs from me too! Figures.

I don't have any license but I'm paying their broker to use theirs only they don't support buying 'COD' vehicles.

Yes I plan to use it in my project so the title doesn't matter to me.

I think I found it, is this it: http://www.copart.com/c2/onSaleResults.html?_eventId=getLot&execution=e1s2&lotId=13194262&returnPage=SEARCH_RESULTS

Looks really clean and well maintained for a car with that many miles.  I wonder why they gave it a destruction title.

Do you have a license to buy at Copart?  My friend has a Mexican License and I believe he can bid on CERTIFICATE OF DESTRUCTION Titles.  If you want I can check with him, just send me the Lot number and I will let you know.
Is this A8 going to be for your LP640 project?

I wonder if anyone is near this place, I want to bid on one of these cars but the only one I can actually go see is not one that I can bid on because it is titles as "FL  CERTIFICATE OF DESTRUCTION."

This one's in greer SC, it's one that doesn't say whether it runs or not just says vandalism but I can't tell where at.
