Search for robbiesrepairables in SC. I know quite a few co-workers who have bought repaired cars that have lasted for many years.

From the insurance auctions. IAAI and Copart are two that come to mind.

If you have any friend who work in a body shop or a mechanic, they can led you to some good sources. If you want a stable source, Copart is THE salvage company. The first route will probably give you more profit though. I'd try police auctions as well if you don't mean people who may have died in the vehicle.

Default A little more info would help...

What manufacturers and models are you looking for? What is the TDI (Total Damage Incurred) limit you're aiming for. Are you looking for WOVs (Write Off Vehicles) or SRV's (Salvage Repair Vehicles). One of my friends/buisness associates has been exporting vehicles and vehicle parts for years from Western Canada and their are several routes to go in order to find different classifications of SVs. If you could give me a bit more focus on your target product I'll give you the names I have for that sector and hit my buddy for his sources. Let me know if you need any help with the shipping end, as well.
