A: Copart does not sell individual parts for vehicles — only whole vehicles as-is. However, many Copart Members find the parts they need for their projects by bidding on vehicles in Copart auctions.

The biggest car auction in the US is Copart. With an extensive inventory and a user-friendly online platform, Copart caters to a wide range of buyers, including dealers, dismantlers, rebuilders, exporters, and individual consumers.

The best way to avoid scams is to purchase your vehicle via Copart.com. However, if you are purchasing a vehicle from a third party, such as Craigslist or eBay, you should take extra precautions to avoid being scammed.

Q: Can I drive my vehicle directly off the lot? You can drive a car directly off the lot if you have insurance on it and have access to dealer tags. Otherwise, we recommend you either have Copart ship it to your business address or hire a third-party transporter to bring it to you.

If you win a lot and don't finalize the purchase (meaning, the lot is not paid in full within 8 calendar days including the day of sale) the Lot will Relist. The Relist fee will be 10% of the final sale price OR $600 – whichever is higher. If you have paid Copart already, contact the Yard directly.

Can I visit a Copart location to preview vehicles? Yes, and in fact, we encourage you to visit. Although Copart provides 10 high-quality images and accurate descriptions for each vehicle, any information provided is for convenience only.

You've just won a vehicle, what's next? First, you'll need to make a payment within three business days including the day of sale to avoid any issues collecting your vehicle. Copart accepts several payment options, including money orders, cashier's checks, wire transfers and credit and debit card payments.

The business of selling damaged autos has never been better for Copart founder Willis Johnson, a gold-chain-wearing Oklahoma native who's turned one California junkyard — and drivers' misfortunes — into a $1.9 billion fortune, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Few would have guessed that the world's oldest car would have sold for $2 million more than expected. The 1884 De Dion Bouton et Trepardoux Dos-a-Dos Steam Runabout fetched a record-breaking $4,620,000 at auction in Hershey, Pennsylvania late Friday evening, according to CNN Money.

On average, car dealers markup cars up to 30% that are bought at auctions. There are several reasons for this. The used cars at the auctions are not in a perfect driving condition and sometimes they won't even appeal to many bidders, that's why they are cheaper than the dealer's shops.

A $79.00 Gate Fee is assessed to all Copart purchases. This fee covers administrative costs and the movement of the item from our storage location to the Buyer loading area.

Review the high quality photos provided by Copart, either online or on your mobile device. Determine title type (or Ownership Doc Type), estimated repair cost, odometer reading, damage type, and if the keys are included. Inspect the vehicle in person.

The payment deadline is 3 business days, including day of sale (funds must be received on Copart account within the 3-day period). If not paid within the 3 days, a $50 late fee is assessed on each vehicle. The most reliable payment method for international buyers is wire transfer.
