Question 1

Are all Copart and IAAI cars damaged?

Accepted Answer

No. Both sell fleet, lease-return, dealer trade-in and repossessed cars with clean titles alongside insurance write-offs. The title type and damage codes on the lot page say which; the VIN history says whether the car has been through auction before.

Question 2

What does "runs and drives" mean?

Accepted Answer

The car started, moved forward and reversed under its own power at intake. It is not a statement about roadworthiness or the condition of anything else.

Question 3

How do I see the previous auction's photos?

Accepted Answer

Enter the VIN on this page. Where the car went through Copart or IAA before, the report includes each sale's photos, damage codes and price.
