Nice -looking body - AC - has luggage cover - 167K miles - clean engine bay - apparently runs.
Current bid $1150.
I had never heard of Copart (found out we have one in St. Louis!), so have no idea of dealing with it.
A fellow member of the Miata Club knew of mine, so sent me the link.

they are a wholesale distributor for wrecking yards. you need a resale or dealers licence to get into them. typically there are some small time resellers you can go with who will agree to buy it for a commission if you really want one of the cars in the yard.

copart is all over the country, there is even one right here in Arlington WA where I live. looked at cars there, I have a family friend that frequents them and has the correct state license. Not always such a good deal at the auctions, fees add up.

Hey Tom and Peter,

I signed up for autobidmaster.com to follow this car out of curiosity. I think with the free account you can bid up to $4000. I HAVE NOT LOOKED INTO THE ASSOCIATED FEES ETC., i am just using it to follow the car.

Finally,

I’m not bidding, but the Copart Tercel sells Monday @ 10:00am. Might be worth looking at if within a reasonable drive.
