Carfax suspending accounts

Carfax is operating as a theft organization. They will let you sign up for an “unlimited” account and once you begin running reports on the accounts everyday the account protection team who are Warren and Derrick operating that unit will automatically suspend each account. When you call them they act disrespectful they assume things and limit your account because of “high usage” while taking out money from your bank. They will go as far as giving you limited number of accounts and removing ability to add users on your account. They are benefiting on the backs of dealers who don’t run as many reports because it’s not unlimited but they label it as unlimited for them to fool them.

I need advice on what to do

I bought a van from copart and on the listing I always check the dashboard if there are any warning lights on. I’ve bought many vehicles from there in the past and I had no issues. So on this particular occasion there was no warning lights on this van so I bid and won the lot. When I went to collect literally within 10mins after leaving the site the hazard warning lights come on I will attach the pictures for the before (the pictures they displayed for the advert) and after(when I collected) . I contacted copart about this because these are not signs that just appear all of a sudden. So they responded to me with a different response than that I was anticipating. Their whole response is about whether the vehicles runs and drive as if that’s what my complaint was about but it’s wasn’t . They said they can’t help me on this and if I wish to sell the vehicle back to copart they can list it but it’s not a guarantee I’ll sell for the same price. I don’t want to selll sh*t I just want my money back and for them to take their van baclk.

Inaccurate trans type on BMWs

I've been on the hunt for a manual BMW on Copart and IAA. I've noticed that there are so many auto BMWs listed as manual when you can clearly see 2 pedals and an auto gear stick, but it mainly seems to only be on BMWs, not on other vehicles nearly as much.

Anyone know why?

Brokers, is it worth it?

I'm thinking about getting a license to bid on Copart. I recently purchased a car through a local broker, and honestly, the experience was horrible. I genuinely believe I could treat people much better than he does.

I work in customer service, so I was honestly appalled that he's still in business. I asked him about getting into the industry, but I didn't let him know how dissatisfied I was with his service. Secretly, I knew I'd never use him again or recommend him to anyone.

I'm out in the countryside, and there aren't many people around here with a Copart broker license, so I think there's an opportunity to capitalize on that.

My question is: Could this be profitable if I only charged a few people broker fees each month? I don't have any desire to become a huge dealership. I just love cars and enjoy walking around the Copart lot, but what I had to go through was such a bad experience that it made me think I could provide a much better service.

Totally Stripped Vehicles by Leasing Company

Hello All! I keep seeing this weird (for a newbie) thing where Hyundai Leasing sells one of their cars that looks like it is damage free but completely stripped for cheap, and then about a month later the car is being sold again with all the parts back on the car. Examples:

EV6 Auction 50984446 (stripped) ---> Auction 58601306 (Looking new).

Ioniq 9 Auction 50290196 (stripped) ---> Auction 59188706 (looking new)

Are these cars being stolen and stripped and then someone goes through the effort to replace everything?

Would you touch these cars with a 10-foot pole?

Does Copart shipping have to be delivered to a business?

About to bid on a salvage title car that’s about 40 miles from me and I read in a separate Reddit post that the shipping has to be to a business address but I could not find anything confirming or denying this on Copart’s site. Not sure if this was true and this is my first auction so appreciate any helpful answers, thanks!

Is there such a thing as if it’s a salvage title they can’t sell it for more than a certain amount?

So I was told by a gentleman that if you were to buy a car with a salvage title that the person selling the car with the title that they couldn’t sell it for more than like 700 bucks is that true?

Copart Logic: Listed as a "Fire Loss," but the engine runs perfectly and there's not a burn mark on it?

Hey guys, I stumbled across an absolute head-scratcher of a salvage listing and need some eyes on it.

The insurance company officially clocked this thing as a Fire Loss, but looking through the auction photos, I feel like I'm playing a high-stakes game of Where’s Waldo.

• The "Damage": The primary damage is listed as "front end," but it literally just looks like some faded/scuffed paint from a minor fender bender.

• The Plot Twist: The listing says it Starts and Runs perfectly.

Where is the fire? Did the previous owner drop a lit cigarette on the carpet and call it a total loss? Did a fire truck just drive past it once?

Has anyone else run into a ghost "fire" title where the car is completely unscathed, or am I walking into a trap?

Is this real?

The price on these Macans seem really good, I wanna import to Europe and these are at least 20k€ here so it's worth it, is there a catch to it? Maybe someone who had experience can help me? And I wonder how risky is it to buy from Copart auctions?

https://bid.cars/en/lot/1-55536466/2017-Porsche-Macan-WP1AG2A51HLB56322

This one isn't exception, one sold today for ~7k$ and the other day another one for about same price.

Copart Miscellaneous Fees

I am not sure if anybody has experienced copart adding a miscellaneous fees to an invoice. Won a bid, initial invoice was $2145. I woke up the next morning to make payment and I saw miscellaneous fees of $200 twice. So additional $400 with no explanation. This is Day 2 and by day 3 they will charge storage fees.

clearing history of the auction

hi all, i am curious if there is a way to remove my vehicle from showing up on websites such as bidfax . info, bid .cars, etc. I don't want information being accessible when someone googles the VIN or lot number, i know websites that offer this service, but i'd rather do it myself to save money.

Any New York Copart buyers can answer this?

I'm an out of state dealer and bought a car on a NY salvage certificate MV-907A. I know I have to go through a NY salvage inspection if I want to rebuild it, but what if I want to sell it in its current condition for somebody else to rebuild? Can I attach an out of state reassignment form to the MV-907A?

Copart auction, shipping from USA to EU

Hello everyone,
I’m looking at copart auction USA jet-skis, there are some affordable jet skis, and I see that you need some type of third party to bid at auction? ( brokers)
I have been copart member last 4 years (copart Germany) and that’s something unknown for me.
Also, did someone ship something from USA to Europe? ( Croatia, Slovenia, etc ) what are costs?

go2auctionsnow for IAAI

I would appreciate if you can comment on your experience with go2auctionsnow. I am considering them due to their flat fee per car compared to 3-5% of big guys.

Do they provide nice user interface for bidding? How good is communication? etc...

Thank you all for your feedback, I appreciate it
