Found this at Copart Spokane

This one is for sale at Copart Spokane. Unfortunately the Socialist Republic of Washington requires a license to buy clean title cars; maybe one of you guys has the ability to buy it? I can't.

Maybe someone can explain why you can't buy the vehicle? Here in Texas, we have our wholesale auto clearing houses, which require you to have a DEALER license to buy at one of their auctions.

I'm in Idaho, the auction is in Washington, apparently the general public can buy RV's, watercraft and vehicles without a clean title - so a bill of sale or salvage title would be OK. Only dealers and brokers can buy clean title cars in WA. At least that's what Copart says after I paid the membership fee.

Called a broker and, between Copart fees and brokers fees it would be $1900. Not a bad price if it drives, but more than I'm willing to pay sight unseen...

Must be a Copart rule. There is no state law I am aware of that restricts title sales. There is a limit on the number of vehicles a person can sell each year without a dealer license, that's it.

Probably won't sell for much. Subs are still relatively common here. I scrapped one a couple years ago.

Not a bad looking rig maybe for $3k ish. But also at Copart so there’s a reason it made it that far down the vehicular food chain towards the dump.
It’s not even close to being a good value at $5k ish.
And not worth the hassle, especially with the plethora of good 4wd Burbs around here at good prices. Generally from owners that you can get a little or a lot of history from and have more info to make an informed decision.

That’s a $2500 find on Craigslist all day long, here.

I'm guessing it's a Copart thing. Seen more than a few in Spokane and CDA. If I could have added this one to the fleet for peanuts it would have been nice, especially seeing as it has rockers.

Really only on there looking for a donor Yukon or Suburban to steal the powertrain for my '90.

I purchased an inexpensive parts truck from IAA and a couple cars, policy's might be different. Like everything today, parts vehicles aren't the deal they used to be.

Someone did get it for the buy now price, maybe we'll see it cruising around here

Too bad sub seat belts aren't interchangeable with pickups. Most I see are power windows so driver's door panel isn't either.

NO not a Washington state requirement I've bought cars and trucks at auction in Washington where I live.... That is a Copart rule NOT a Washington state law....

That's it, just what you said is all I'm aware of. I've bought at public auctions without an issue.
