How to Buy Smarter on Copart: 7 Things to Check Before You Bid
Buying from online auto auctions can be a great opportunity — but only if you check the right details before placing a bid. Here are the top items our team reviews with clients at Sky Auto Trade LLC.
1) Title Type: Always confirm the vehicle title status (clean, salvage, rebuilt, etc.). Title status affects registration and resale value.
2) Primary Damage & Notes: Read damage descriptions carefully and compare them with photos. Small notes can indicate big repairs.
3) Fees & Total Cost: Your final cost is not only the bid. Auction fees, gate fees, storage, transport, and shipping matter.
4) Location & Transport: Where the vehicle is located changes inland transport time and cost. This is key for planning.
5) Photos & Missing Parts: Look for airbags, front-end alignment, undercarriage, and missing components.
6) Timing & Release: Some vehicles take longer to be released. We help you avoid delays that create storage fees.
7) Market Fit: We match your budget with what sells best in Iraq — so you buy something that makes sense for your plan.
