M3 CS totaled during transit, but things worked out in the end

Came back to this story. Still envious of the great deal you got 6 months later.

Curious about your first car if it showed up on Copart. Do u still have the VIN for a quick search? Maybe it's rebuilt by now on a salvage title.

Insurance didn't want to total the car at first because of the 110k MSRP, then I gave them the 80k payoff quote and got them to agree to total it. The estimated value came out higher than my payoff, so I ended up pocketed a few k.

I did a search using the VIN, looks like the car was sold at an auction for 50k.

I got lucky that I was able to snatch the exact same CS at similar deal, great car and have been enjoying every minute in it.
