Salvage Rivan R1T on Copart - Canyon Red R1T Adventure Edition

[kylealden]

JUST out of curiosity, I registered to watch this auction. Currently it's at $1100. Hard to tell, but the wheels and tires might be ok. The battery is certainly worth a lot to the right folks. Seems like there could be lots of valuable parts.

The metals in the battery alone are worth a lot more than that once extraction techniques are improved. There's a reason there are startups snatching up wrecks like this and sitting on them while the recycling technology develops.

I wonder how the vampire drain is on these?

I hope mine lasts longer than these ones. Although if I knew more what to do with, I'd be tmepted to go check out the one in Ogden

Could one buy just the tires?

I mean, I bet it’s got wood trim on the back of the seats…

Given the locations, I'm guessing it might relate to this accident:

I bet that’s the one. Based on the fact that there was a trailer installed, I’m going to guess that they didn’t know how to control the trailer brakes, and the trailer started swaying and they couldn’t get it under control…

I think it's up to $10,000 bid now... if one of you purchases it, let me know what you want for the PS rear taillight.

" Secondary Damage: BIOHAZARD/CHEMICAL"

Isn't that usually listed if there's blood or signs of human remains?

I have seen it for mold too. Could be the case here with the broken windows.

Keep in mind folks, the way these vehicles are treated in the process of moving them around will trash the underside in many cases. So take the damage you see...and double it. Only benefit is the idiots at these auction yards can't run them dry on oil and seize the motor.
