FAQs

What is the best international car auction? ›

RM Sotheby's is the world's leading auction house for collector cars.

Copart puts 75,000 cars up for sale every day, but Manheim is the biggest, handling some 7 million vehicles in 11 countries annually. It's a complicated business, with cars moving locally and across the country to maximize profits based on supply and demand, regional needs, and even the price of scrap metal.

We recommend eBay as the best online auction website because it's free for buyers, fees are reasonable for sellers, and its platform is incredibly user-friendly.

For the fourth year in a row, Toyota is the world's best-selling automaker. We've been waiting for Toyota to release sales data for 2023 ever since the Volkswagen Group announced it sold 9.24 million cars.

Buying for personal use in California? Without business licenses, you will need a Broker's help to bid on clean and salvage titled vehicles in California. If you're buying in another state, view the State Licensing Overview or search our No License Required inventory.

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 the lot is not paid in full within 8 calendar days (including the day of sale), the vehicle will be relisted. The Relist Fee will be 10% of the final sale price with a minimum of $600.

Test driving a car before buying is usually an impossibility at auctions, depriving potential buyers of crucial insights into the vehicle's performance and handling. As a result, latent mechanical issues may remain undetected until after the purchase.

Copart's inventory is mainly composed of wrecked cars from insurance companies, but we also have some consumers who sell their clean title vehicles through us as well. You can find boats or power sports vehicles like jet skis at Copart too!
