Where can I find salvage vehicles auctions?

UX Search lists 6 auction sites for salvage vehicles, including Copart, IAA, SCA Auctions, Salvage Boats Auction, and searches the government and public-surplus platforms itself.

Who can bid on salvage vehicles auctions?

Most of these sites are open to the public; bidding usually takes a free account on the auction site, and some sales ask for a card on file or a deposit. Bidding, payment and pickup happen on the site that runs the sale, under its own terms.

What should I check before bidding on salvage vehicles?

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.
