I like your idea and have had several salvage fixers but...
I have first hand experience with CoPart. There are so many ways you can get screwed regardless of your due diligence ,it is an incalculable risk. You will never outwit the scams,schemes,thefts after you buy ,missing parts etc.
I suggest you buy a salvage car privately. Then you have more chance of really knowing what you are buying.
Lots of people have grossly uninformed opinions on this subject but seldom much experience nor knowledge. They think salvage cars are dangerous, Here is something to ponder - how much damage value does it take to declare a 10-15 year old Boxster "salvage" ? Answer- Porsche parts prices are so high that minor panel will exceed the cars Blue Book value.
I bought a salvage Boxster privately for less than 2/3 of BB .It had only cosmetic damage but the Insurance Co just used Porsche parts prices and labor to determine the outcome.The owner took lots of photos of the 'damage', removed the offending parts with more photos and had it fixed. Everybody was happy. Seldom the case with Copart ! Beware.
