Looks like the body shop did that initially then once they stuck the fork in it, said screw it to rehanging it. It’s at Copart with a salvage title.
Everyone's favorite game, totaled or fixable.

So the usa-auction-whatever is just a type of broker who places bids at copart.
Still, why remove the door? It probably still opened and closed ok, just looking ugly on the outside. Now it has the chance of getting wet if parked outside while waiting to auction.

I doubt they would have cut that big hole in the skin if there was an easier way to open the door.

It did not open, 'm guessing they needed to get the door open to do full write up/estimate for the door jamb/shell to see how much was was needed to fix it or total it. They prob didn't need to do that, knowing insurance only paid out 9200 to total it.

^ Because the car looks so bloody awful with the damage to the door. They probably figure any buyer will snap up a door from a junk yard; auction house is too lazy of disinterested to do that.

so this car has to ship out to Europe? Does this company sell for domestic buyers? Hmm... I'm thinking of buying it...

no idea why they are giving estimate for export.

You can sign up with auction brokers, if NH doesn't allow copart sales to non-dealers. The broker will add at least $300 fees to the total cost.

And by the time you purchase the car through Copart pay fees, fix it and have it inspected you can go by one locally for a bit more money with a clean title and a lot less work. Trust me I play the auction game quite a bit and it’s never as good of a deal as it seems. The days of good deals are gone.

Auctions tend to be the perfect market now that they are run online AND local....even if nobody shows up, there are still bidders.

What's bullshti about that is, the auctioneers charge an "online bidding fee". Without online bids, nobody would show up and the prices would drop. Lots of just-across-the-border bids coming from mexico in the southwest too.

She has 112k and there are some battle scars on her, but nothing more than cosmetic. a decent dent scratch on the hood, the roof has some scratches by the rear window from when my bone head starting moving the car out of the garage after an oil change before the door was all the way up. There is a 1" rip on the drivers seat side bolster. I think only one wheel has zero curb rash (wife problems am i right?)
But underneath there is hardly northeast road rust (compared to our alltrack) of the front control arms and subframes for an almost 10 year car (7 years inservice), rear control arms meah not the best.
Oh and the H&R rear sway bar does make for a nice ride.
