Copart strikes me as a great stock to own during a down market, which I believe is where we are headed. I agree with those who foresee a prolonged consumer credit crisis as a result of the subprime mortgage meltdown. People feel less rich when their primary asset - their home - loses value. They will be postponing new car purchases, which bodes well both for direct sales of salvage cars to consumers, and to parts re-manufacturers.

Our knack for totaling cars and trucks does not appear to be on the decline. And the longer we hold onto them the more likely they will be totaled when we crash them. This is a stock with a future. Financials don't look to bad either. There is a lingering lawsuit which seems to be common denominator with aggressive, succesful companies.

The car part business is only going to grow as more and more drivers hit the road. It is only natural that the internet will supplement this business. People are always looking for a part to something.

Analysts predicted $.41/share from a gross of $154M. Copart managed to squeeze all 41 cents out of only $145M; that's a good thing. Revenue down; net up is OK near-term. But they have a new patent lawsuit in front of them that could go either way. Looks sketchy (to me) in the mid-term. I'd like to hear a discussion on it... thanks.

Was made aware of this company when they went public and bought their IPO.

They are a well managed business with a positive cash flow, based in Fairfield, CA.

They offer salvaged vehicles for sale on their website and make it easy for the consumer to get access to restored/partially damaged vehicles that were written off by insurance companies.
