Feb 5, 2021 · Make sure you need to use a broker first. Copart has quite a vast selection of vehicles that do not require a license to bid on and therefore no broker is needed.

Nov 26, 2005 · Registration on Copart: To register with Copart you need to make an account and email a picture of your drivers license to them.

If you have a business license you get a substantial discount on those fees.

Sep 12, 2023 · Copart is absolutely insane right now I’ve been buying and selling cars from insurance companies for a while now but I’ve never seen a market like this one. I was the highest bidder on a SALVAGE 2017 Chevrolet Silverado LT V8 2WD with bench cloth seats.

Even some from Facebook. All were the same model. Different years but all the same model. All Miatas. I know what to look for and how to diagnose them.

Copart always was the bottom of the barrel in terms of trashed cars and recidivism. Never executed a purchase, because the fees are absurd. Try to find small auto auctions that let you test drive... some even only offer smogged cars.

Mar 31, 2023 · Copart is not an impounded cars auction. Copart is a damaged (often severely) car auction that happens to sell some impounded cars. Do not buy a car from copart unless you are a mechanic. And definitely do not buy anything with newer technology (forward collision, adaptive cruise, lane assist) unless you are some sort of mechanic/engineer.
