Warning – Storm Sandy Salvaged MGAs Being Sold
In event you are unaware there are 3 known MGA’s that went to Insurance salvage as a result of storm Sandy. The “A’s” were auctioned by Copart with salvaged titles. Some buyers are re-selling these cars thru such sites as EBay, etc without disclosing the storm damage.
The noted Vins are:
- HDA 43 39394 was recently sold on EBay for a reported $17,000.
- HDA 43 39789 was sold at Copart auction January 15 and is now on EBay auction with reported “clean” New Hampshire title.
- HDK 43 54281 is scheduled by Copart for February 5 auction sale date.
Also involved is a 77 MGB that was a prior auction sale by Copart and now on EBAy auction with reported “clean” New Hampshire title and by the same EBay seller as HDA 43 39789.
More detail in the MG Experience forum/MGA Forum website.
Perhaps you may want to alert the Membership of the apparent sale of these flooded insurance salvage now selling as clean restored drivers. Obvious due diligence needed on any auto purchase out of the Northeast.
