FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What does the auction lot data include?
Each listing has the VIN, mileage, damage type, auction house, lot number, sale date, and final bid, pulled from the auction record.
What's the difference between Copart and IAAI?
Both are major US salvage auction platforms selling insurance and dealer-consigned vehicles. Lot condition codes and start codes vary slightly between them, so check the specific auction's terms before bidding.
Is buying a salvage-title car risky?
Yes, more than buying a clean-title car. Damage may go beyond what's listed, rebuilding costs can exceed the vehicle's value, and resale and insurance can be harder. Review the damage type and photos closely before bidding.
Can I inspect the vehicle before bidding?
Most auction yards allow in-person preview on set days, and some listings include a condition report. Photos and a run-and-drive status help, but they don't replace a physical inspection if you can arrange one.
Does the final bid include all costs?
No. Buyer fees, auction fees, title/documentation charges, and transport are added on top of the final bid. Budget for these separately when comparing lots.
How current is the lot data?
Listings are pulled from public auction records as they're posted or updated. Once a lot sells, its page keeps the final sale details for reference.
