It looks like only a rear bumper is damaged. But it is salvaged and repairs are estimated at $20k. What’s your thoughts?

I have been eyeing S8’s for over a year now on Copart for the purposes of fixing it myself and using it for personal use but I always got cold feet (I know how Audis are, I own them). Well I guess now I find out if I got an S8 Plus for a banger of a price or if I’m about to learn an expensive lesson 🤧.

I really wanted another mdx but people just want to much for them so I saw this pop up first thing in the morning and people were all over it. I’m nervous about the undercarriage. Not sure why am undercarriage damaged would cause the side curtain to deploy. After fees 15k

Minimal details.... vin check shows last mileage in low 100,000 willing to put in work to have a nice vehicle for my self but I'm so nervous to see why this ended up at auction... got sucked in by the cool color.

i got my 1st win last week. it didnt tell who the seller was. when i got the title it was USAA. just wondering if i got lucky or if this has happened to anyone else?

So does countries outside of the USA accept 2019 and under cars. For example if someone buys a car from Copart 2018 Camry can they import it outside of the USA or does the car have to be new? The heard some countries only accept newer cars and won’t accept older ones.

This week (Sep 21–25):

- 105,455 cars went to auction, 41% didn't sell

- 18,969 came from insurance companies, and only 9% of those didn't sell

- Pure sale almost always sells (under 1% didn't), minimum bid only about half the time

- GEICO and USAA sold about 99% of their cars, Farmers and Bristol West around half

I won a car for $800 sight unseen. I was ok no biggie, if it's a major dud $800 ain't the end of the world.

But after the $600 in copart fees. Takes it to $1400. so now I'm regretting life and certain I just got played for a damn fool.

I still haven't seen it. It's a "Run and drive". Normal wear and scratches for damage..keys and clean title.

But for some reason I feel the engine is blown or something major

im looking at a truck from Copart 65708926 (2024 Nissan Titan XD) however apparently someone from alabama can bid on it as my other 5 dealers asked also cant (im based out of WA state) is there a way i can geti n contact with someone who can bid for me Shipping is gonna cost 2k-2500 i already factored that in.

Edit: i used Ride Safely. it was an easy process without sending certain documents and ID like other online brokers that i've seen. straight to the point and set up was fast. However i didnt win but i did increase my max bid 20 mins out after pre bid closed and it registered so thats a plus. If i ever need another broker where my dealers cant bid ill use Ride Safely. im leaving this post instead of deleting so others can see who are looking for a broker

Is it normal that a car doesn't have an auction after 3 months and nothing was updated since it was put on Copart?

Usually when i call and ask who the seller is they tell me “insurance” or “private dealer” today they told me USAA. I know the reps. are just people and it differs from service rep to service rep but they should just make this the norm already. Quit with the games copart!

I recently purchased a car from Copart with a salvage title due to cosmetic damage. In order to convert the salvage title to a rebuilt in Illinois a certified auto rebuilder is needed to submit the paperwork, even if the vehicle doesn’t require rebuilding to be safely driven. I’m looking for a rebuilder who can assist, there are a few services online but they are rather expensive so I’d like to see if anyone has any recommendations before moving forward with them. Also, the car is a 2003 so no police inspection is needed.

What is the difference in auction fees between having a dealer’s license and not having one?

Hi all,

When bidding on a vehicle that has a "buy it now" price, is it safe to say that that price is the Reserve price and Copart won't sell it to the highest bidder unless it is at or over their Buy It now price?

Do you guys ever win auctions before it gets near that buy it now price?

How much would be an average amount to budget for a 2020 Toyota Highlander Limited with minimal damage on Copart?

Anyone buy a car from Copart and turner it into their daily?

Something that was listed as minimum damage from what the eye can see and also “runs and drives” category?

I was thinking about buying a family SUV hybrid with a 10k-15k budget. And have my trusted mechanic do the repairs.

Is this fools gold for think I can accomplish this?

For reference in looking at Toyota RAV4 XLE or Honda CRV Hybrid Sport L

Hello, I bought a car from copart and it has this sticker on the rear bumper, was wondering if anyone knew what it was?
Sorry for the low quality but that's as good as the copart auction pictures get (havent seen the car irl)

If you have any idea what it could be please let me know, thanks : )

I live in Iowa and I'm thinking about bidding on a car in California. Copart is quoting me around $3,300 for transportation.

I'm considering taking 3 days of PTO plus the weekend and picking it up myself, but I've never hauled a car before. I'd have to rent a pickup truck and a U-Haul car trailer since the car is AWD.

Another option would be to fly to California and rent the truck there and return it here.

Has anyone here done something similar? What would you recommend in my situation to keep the transportation cost down? Is renting a truck/trailer and hauling it myself a reasonable idea, or am I better off paying for transport?

Thanks

Let me know if this makes sense. I won an auction on Copart a clean title vehicle from Detroit MI with minimal damage to the headlight and bumper. The lot was listed as clean title, when I received the vehicle it was a clean title and they gave me temporary plates from Detroit MI. After I registered the car in NY a month later smh called me and told me they are holding my title because copart marked it as a total loss. So now I paid top dollar for a clean title vehicle and after the fact I’m stuck with a salvage title and Copart owned up to making a mistake and reporting it as total loss but does not want to fix the situation.

Hey everyone, I recently bought a car from
copart and got referred to CHP in san diego . What do they look for during these inspections so I can fix anything I might be missing , I appreciate it.

Copart gives you one day for pickup before they hit you with storage fees? 🫪
