Searching Inventory

Can I save vehicles I want to view later?

Copart Members can add vehicles to their Watchlist allowing easy access to these vehicles after. First make sure you’re logged in to your account, once you have the vehicle you want to watch, click on the “Watch” button next to the vehicle’s name. Once you’ve clicked the “Watch” button, you will find the vehicle has been added to your Watchlist page, either on your computer or on the Copart Mobile App.

You can also receive instant notifications about the vehicles on Watchlist when they become available for bidding.

Want to search for a specific vehicle? Copart Basic or Premier Members can save searches using one click. Click the “Save” button on the search results page.

I’m looking for a specific vehicle type, make or model. Does Copart have it?

We vehicles across the globe available for bidding every day. Within Canada we have 7+ locations across Canada, so there’s a good chance we have the vehicle you’re looking for.

The quickest way to find a specific car, truck, SUV or other vehicle is to use the Search toolbar at the top of any page on the Copart website.

You can also perform advanced searches using our Vehicle Finder, which is available on our website and the Copart mobile app. Search parameters include:

• Vehicle Type

• Title Type

• Purchase Options

• Damage Type

• Featured Items (Buy It Now, Run and Drive and Pure Sale can be found here)

• Current Bid Status

You can also search for vehicles by year, make, model, location, VIN and lot number.

If you search the same thing frequently, save some time by saving it with one click, these saved searched will then appear on your saved searches page or Member Dashboard any time you log in to your Copart account. If you are using the Copart mobile app, your most recent search is always automatically saved (you’ll see it at the bottom of the screen).

If you prefer searching, sorting and filtering on spreadsheets, all Copart Members have the option to download the CSV Sales Data. These spreadsheets allows you to sort vehicle data, vehicle auction dates and more.

Why does the info in lot details not reflect the actual condition of the vehicle?

Our Member Terms and Conditions, which the member accepts when they register, states that all vehicles are sold "AS-IS WHERE-IS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR MERCHANTABILITY."

'Run & Drive' or 'Engine Start' are terms that are used to indicated how the vehicle performed when it was inventoried by Copart staff. Copart does not guarantee it will start or move forward under its own power at the time the vehicle is picked up. As such it is recommended that members inspect vehicles in person prior to bidding, you may also choose to use an inspector service prior to bidding on the vehicle (please note inspectors cannot do any work on the vehicle on Copart grounds).

If a member believes that Copart has listed some details 'incorrectly' members should bring this to the attention of management prior to bidding/ the auction. Once the lot is sold and leaves the property, there’s nothing that Copart can do to assist.

What is the price of vehicles sold in the auction? Where can I check the price a lot sold for?

You may track multiple lots in the live auction to get an idea of how much vehicles might sell for in the auction.

If you do not want to go through the auction process, you can choose vehicles in the Buy It Now category. You may purchase these vehicles immediately for a set price or submit an offer to the seller and wait for their response.

We do not publish data on how much units are sold for in the auction.

How can I find out more information about a vehicle before bidding on it?

• If you can, visit the yard in person to look at the car before bidding.

• If you can’t view the vehicle yourself you may hire an inspector. Inspectors can assist you in making smart buying decision. These people do not work for Copart and as such are a representative of the buyer.

• Request a vehicle condition report. If available, you will find this option available on the lot details page. Learn more about Copart vehicle condition reports.

• Purchase another report such as an EpicVIN report or AutoCheck report to verify the history of the vehicle

• Search for the vehicle using the VIN number to see if you can find earlier pictures of the car.
