Thank you, I greatly appreciate your comments and will keep you posted

I'm not sure I agree with you DarkAtmosphere. I have the exact same situation where I have bought a car listed as Category U - Used Unrecorded, I am not doubting that Category U is a category to be wary of but my issue is, having applied to the DVLA to have my car registered they have told me that the car IS recorded and was been listed as a write off in the New State of South Wales in Australia. I am now left with a Q plate for a £30,000 car. Your description of Category U is indeed correct but my point, and I believe CarDealer89's point is that Copart have sold a car as 'Unrecorded' when in fact my car IS recorded, it is recorded as being a write off further to an insurance claim in Australia. I agree that they do not have the same facilities as DVLA, I am not disputing that either, but it does not take away form the fact that the car was not an Unrecorded vehicle and unless they have done the checks under the DVLA, which they haven't, then they have mis-sold me the car by listing is as an Unregistered. If they do not wish to undertake such extensive searches through the DVLA for the car history (and I am not saying that legally they have to) then that's fine but then don't go on to list a vehicle that has a recognized recorded history as being unrecorded - this is misrepresentation. Either do the checks through DVLA to see the recorded status of the vehicle, or state that the checks have not been done and no categorization can be given. Listing a car as being Unrecorded when it has a recorded history is a clear breach and encourages mis-selling of vehicles.

Hi CarTrader89, have you had any luck in sorting out this situation with copart I also purchased a Australian import from copart and I myself is in the same dilemma as you, I’m thinking about taking them to court
