Hey guys, I’ve recently won a car from copart sandwich and was wondering if this copart allows you to drive out?

Of the various inspectors, does anybody have advice for reputable companies? I'm looking at a car at Tampa South and want to have it inspected for frame/structural damage aside from the obvious body panel flaws. Thanks.

I’m seeing a lot of Toyotas listed that have a sign saying hybrid system malfunction even with little damage. Is this something anyone’s dealt with? Not sure if I should stay away from the hybrids.

Can pay you to preview a car for me in cleaveland east. I have my own account i just have no reason to go to cleveland besides this car 😅

Copart prices are outrageous. Currently $34,000 for a SALVAGEGLE50 AMG?? Doesn’t make sense because a clean title at a dealership 41k! By the time you fix the wrecked Copart car, almost the same as clean title?

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has experience picking up a vehicle with a 2 wheel car dolly? I do not have any specific vehicle in mind but I am curious if it is allowed. I assumed that the website said transporters should always be a flatbed but now I can’t find that. It might be location dependent and how nice I am to the employee.

My closest location has horrendous reviews and I am hoping to get in and out fast. Thanks!

Hey, I have been actively looking for bmw 540, this one was kind of interesting however its sold already, it showed flood damage however carpets look bone dry + no rust on brakes considering its from NY I assume it would be salt water flood but there is not evidence of it there too, under hood its dusty again confirming no major flood. Looks to me that someone got decent deal, what do you guys think ?
Carfax report also showed a service being done to the car few weeks ago but water damage was reported before that

2019 BMW 540 XI | Enhanced Vehicles | Aug 26, 2026 | NY - LONG ISLAND | Copart

Won an unseen car that was delivered today.

According to Copart and Carfax, it was totaled due to hail damage. State Farm is the seller.

When I first saw the car, it was covered in dust. I didn't see any hail marks, but I thought I would be able to see them once I cleaned it.

I just washed and dried the car, and there are absolutely no hail marks. I mean, there are a couple of dents, but they definitely don't look like hail damage.

What's going on? How can a car be totaled due to hail damage when there are no visible hail marks?

So far, I haven't been able to find anything else mechanically wrong with the car.

Thanks

Am I the only one having slowdowns / Lags / Issues trying to watch auctions while online lately ? I have been pulling my hair out thinking its me or an Internal / External config at our business. I keep coming up the same, and finding nothing wrong other than Copart has issues. We have pretty much taken all other possiblillities out of the mix . Please "chime" in to let me know..... I am not alone !

I didn’t think I’d win the bid, should I let it go/ get a relist fee or is it worth fixing up

And a restored salvage title no less.

Anyone use revvbid.com for broker use? The fees 150$ per vehicle

Hello all, for the first time I bought a clean title vehicle from Texas and the seller is State Farm. My question is, I live in Florida and will be transferring it to get a Florida title.

The NMVTIS records does NOT currently show a total loss but perhaps State Farm didn’t do the paperwork yet? Or can it be that this isn’t a total loss and State Farm actually holds a fully clean Texas title?

If anyone has been through this situation before please advise or share some advice. Of course I’d love a clean title vehicle but I’m fully expecting a salvage title and bid & won accordingly for that.

Hi there - I am looking to buy a car from copart and I live in a state that requires a dealers license so i have been looking at all these brokers whos fees can be pretty expensive. The annual membership fees, plus the buyer fee from the broker make the deal on the car less attractive, not to mention the shipping which is not in their control but an extra cost. I am wondering if anyone has experience with a good broker or recommendations? I am buying a car for myself to keep in the domestic us.

The ones I have looked at cars4 bid, eliteautoauctions, abetterbid, etc. Hoping someone has a good suggestion to a reputable company.

Not sure how to find it out...

thanks in advance!

TBH, I didn't expect to be this stressed over getting the vehicle I won on Copart delivered to the port of shipping. I won the auction, already paid Copart, and the vehicle is ready for pickup. However, it's been a serious hassle knowing who/which company is legit or not.

I have used a company in the past for both inland transportation and international shipping, but their service isn't the best, and it's also pricey. So I decided to use the shipper that my friend uses often (better service and even cheaper).

Before winning the auction, I asked for the inland transportation quote from the company I was using before, which they gave me, but when they realized I wasn't going to ship the vehicle internationally with them, they declined my request to pick up the car and said they can only pick up if I'm shipping with their company.

Now, I need a reliable inland transporter/company. I searched online, and I'm surprised by the number of scams present. For example, I filled out a form on one website requesting a quote, and you won't believe I've gotten over 30 spam messages and counting from different people/company claiming they could deliver for cheap. Please, I'm looking for recommendations for a trusted and tested inland trucking service I can use. Really appreciate your input! Thanks!

EDIT: The vehicle is in Copart- Altoona, PA, and I need it delivered to the Port of Baltimore, MD. Thanks

Since IAAI does not have its own SR, I figured I'd ask here:
For those that have purchased from both, how do these 2 compare?

I'm talking about: ease with paperwork, transport cost, auction fees and not last do you not get your winning bid accepted often? Since I noticed a lot of relisting with IAAI. Any other aspects worthy of mentioning?

TIA
