Yes, although Copart provides high-quality images and detailed descriptions of vehicles, any information provided by the seller or Copart is for informational purposes only. Therefore, it is your responsibility to inspect a vehicle before bidding. That's why Copart invites you to visit our location to view the vehicles you are interested in.

This is one of our most popular questions! With the number of vehicles auctioned every day increasing, you're very likely to find what you're looking for.

We sell vehicles on behalf of:

• Insurance Companies,
• Banks,
• Financial Institutions,
• Leasing Companies,
• Fleet Managers,
• Dealerships,
• the General Public, etc.

The easiest way to find a specific vehicle is to use our search bar, located at the top of any section of our website. This will allow you to see the results of your search. For an advanced search, use our vehicle finder, where you can find vehicles that fall into the following categories:

• Vehicle Type,
• Damage Type,
• Featured Parts,
• Purchase Options,
• and Current Bid Price.

You can also search by year, make, model, and location. If you found this search helpful, use the "Save Search" option so you can repeat it when you return to the website. Another way to search for vehicles is by downloading a CSV file with sales data. With this spreadsheet, you can filter the vehicle data to select the images you want to see.

This preliminary bid will be the winning bid unless it is outbid by another preliminary bid or a bid placed during the auction. In the event of a tie between the preliminary bid and the auction bid, the bid placed during the auction will prevail.

Preliminary bids can be placed by any Copart buyer who has completed the registration process. Place an automatic bid from your computer, tablet, or mobile device.

Of course, logged-in buyers can add vehicles to their “Favorites” and view them on both their computer and mobile phone. This is the best way to keep track of vehicles you're interested in.
