You had asked about the 199 fee. That’s the fee since you’re not a advanced or premier member. It’s as if they force you to signup for a membership or else it’ll come out on the other end once you win a bid. I would join the advanced membership since you buy a handful of cars per year. You’ll save that extra 199 charge. Thanks again for the content.👍🏻

Thanks for sharing your experience

Thanks for telling your experience with broker etc.

Very informative. Thank you 👍

Great video, excellent breakdown of the invoice. If you find a good car it’s still much more cost effective if you’re up for the challenge. I’m terrified of the 3rd party brokers 😅the fees.. can’t even

Good video. Thanks for sharing information on your Copart auto buying experience. Nice SUV, by the way!

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

kind of you to make this video. thank you

Thanks this was really Helpfull

Thanks buddy! Pretty useful info

Wow! crazy fees and shenanigans that put a "consumer" at a severe disadvantage. It's impossible to compete with the dealer. Thanks for the info. I was going to bid, and went the private route instead.

@@Foreignsgarage444 how do you get the license? And is this also possible if you live in europe?

I've bought 3 vehicles through copart, as a regular consumer with no special licenses... My final bid/final prices with tax and shipped were as follows: 2007 F150 $2500/$3558, 2011 A4 - $1200/$2040, and 2013 Impreza $3100/$4453... So you can reasonably assume about 30-40% costs over final bid added to calculate final total cost as a regular bidder... I live in Phoenix, with 156.00 shipping fee... Yours will vary based on distance.

Which is not too bad if I through broker I have to pay $250 transaction fee plus auctions fees and towing locally will still be about $150. I’m thinking I’ll save that money if I buy direct from Phoenix and I will get my documents hassle free . Almost about the same $ I’m thinking.what are your thoughts ?

@@Tweeze513 hello it’s going to be my first time bidding what membership did you go for?

My very short experience with Copart ... wanted to bid on a trailer in illunois but couldn't becoz Broker required. They sent me a page where they list which states require broker and which don't. North Carolina didn't require the broker. So I visited (another) trailer page located in Raleigh NC and found out couldn't bid either. Guess what they told me? The trailer is in NC alright but its title issuer is Virginia. Therefore, I couldn't bid. I disputed my membership fee on the same day I created. If you read their terms and conditions, they cover every single aspect. In reality, that doesn't mean they can cover their ass. The court has final decision, not their Terms. A lot of times, their terms are in grey areas with Federal and state laws. But fight them ... and you shall win (in some cases)

That's why I started bidding on cars in Arizona. No broker needed and car prices are generally lower than rip off CA

why cant you buy them

Thanks for the info

Question. Copart charges you fees for placing a preliminary bid 100 and over? And also says during a live auction bid, you’re getting charged for the sale price if it’s $100 or more. What does any of this mean?

So for a vehicle that end with a bid of $10k has around $1500 in fees. If you ship it across the country, you looking at another $2000. Then you will need to deal with your state taxes, fees, inspections, registration. So around $14k-$15k before fixing the vehicle. Also, good luck if you miss your shipping date...those storage fees go into the hundres of dollars. Not worth all the headache...let alone the expense.

Thank you so much for this value information. this feed are crazy, Still I don't understand why the charge you for the membership when you did pay already and they charge you the transaction feed. Also thanks for the shipping tip.

Coparts convoluted schedule of fees turned me off from day one. Not because I don't believe that they should charge fees and not that I can't afford the fees but rather because I don't like that game that purposefully designed to confuse people. And don't think for a second that they're not 100% okay with their "approved" brokers from raking buyers over the coals, they know what's going on. Copart is a shady outfit, I personally wouldn't do business with them. What you ended up paying for a vehicle with 210k miles, which is at the tail end of its expected life, was outrageous. You're right, you could've purchased a vehicle on the street for about the same amount and you'd be able to know the history and test drive it and have some possible recourse if something was misrepresented. You get none of that with Copart.

Copart just made it impossible to buy a car with a no-fee membership. No-fee memberships could keep a deposit with Copart and bid up to 10x your deposit. Many states limit private buyers to just salvage, and some states don't allow any private buyers. But regardless, a private buyer with a no-fee membership would only be stuck paying Copart auction fees at a slightly higher commission than paid member/dealers. But Copart is essentially running a monopoly and is now flexing on the little guy. Copart is forcing every private buyer into what appears to be THEIR OWN AUTO BROKER, Autobidmaster. They appear to be intertwined in every way. But by forcing us into this (or other) broker, it is adding A WHOLE NEW LAYER OF COMMISSIONS. It is a total scam and they are forcing another middleman into the costs. This is just ridiculous, imo.

Could you help me? I bought a car that had the mileage wrong. They claimed 56k and actual was 115,000 miles. Is there any recourse with Copart or the sellers? I already paid $2000 for shipping the car.

To hire other shipping you need only provide Member# and Lot#. Vehicle is not necessary be yours or broker. I worked with car haulers. When they did send you that Copart paper with the amount ? Because that paper provide Member#. Did they told you Member# when you call to ship yourself ? , also how long did you wait for titile arrive to you ? My tip for you: Next time told them you need only Member# and Lot# and you will ship car by yourself. Provide Member# and Lot# to any towing and he will pick up the vehicle.

why did you paid 300 in transaction fee? is not included in the 349 yearly membership it says that they charge 199 transaction fee or 4% im very confused on that part

You can in Oklahoma

Thanks for sharing. Definitely, I wouldn't be using a broker.

yeah, it comes to 568. They got you for 20 somewhere. Or maybe its a major scam that theyre running out of that copart location. Hey, 20 bucks over hundreds of deals a week adds up very nicely.

This is crazy not having a dealer license. Was about to bid on a wrecked Acura for the engine, but seeing the fee breakdown plus the broker fee just isn't worth it. Think I can buy (3) low mileage JDM engines for the final price of that (1) wrecked Acura.

I found this good car that had hail damage but engine new and everything. Only 7 miles away but 400$ tow since it’s salve even though car is not even enhanced just salvage for that

1. Was the 199 the premier membership? 2. Did you pay cheaper price (saving you money) for this vehicle as opposed to buying off Craigslist/personal. Was the savings substantial?

thanks for the vid ....i guess put 30% on it

So, in your opinion how much you can save using an autobroker? vs bidding by yourself? Considering you have to pay brokers fee. Like how much would your fee if you buy by yourself? Thanks.

So, the final price of your vehicle will be almost 50% over your bid price before you correct/fix the vehicle and you will still have a salvage title. How is this a good deal folks ? And then you have to pray that your gamble will pay off somehow.

A lot of that is Copart fees too though. You pay higher Copart fees as an individual, and you're limited on what kinds of cars you can bid on. It still means dealers pay less than you by a lot, because by the time you add in the broker fees, they're higher than even individual Copart fees would be IF you could bid on that vehicle. It really puts dealers at an advantage.
