UX Search links to these auction sites and is not affiliated with them. Bidding, payment and pickup happen on each site, under its own rules.
Before you bid
- Know who can bid. Many salvage lots are limited to licensed buyers. The public can often buy them through a registered broker, for a fee.
- Read the title type. Salvage, rebuildable and parts-only titles have different rules in each state.
- Check the VIN. Run a free UX Vehicle History Report on any 17-character VIN before you bid.
- Plan pickup or shipping. Most auctions give you only a few days to remove what you buy. Line up a shipper before the auction ends.
