Questions
How many vehicles are for sale at auction right now?
2,046 are open for bidding at Copart, IAAI and ADESA as of today; 351 have a Buy Now price. The list changes every day as sales close and new vehicles arrive.
How much does it cost to buy an auction car at auction?
Buy Now prices mostly run $1,044 to $3,869, with a typical price of $1,928. For example, a $1,900 Buy Now at Copart comes to about $2,590: $590 in auction fees plus Carena's flat $100 fee, before shipping. Most vehicles sell by bidding, and bids before sale day are usually far below the final price.
Do I need a dealer license to buy at Copart, IAAI or ADESA?
Not with Carena. You open a free account, wire money to your wallet, and set a max bid or use Buy Now. Carena bids on your behalf at the auction.
Can I buy these if I live in Iowa?
No. Carena does not hold a dealer license in your home state, so it can only buy vehicles on your behalf from auctions in other states. Iowa residents can bid on vehicles in every other state.
How do shipping and payment work?
Wins are paid from your Carena wallet: the final price, the auction's fees and our flat $100 fee. We quote shipping after you win and take it from your wallet too; if your balance is short, you wire the difference within 48 hours, after which late and storage fees start. A vehicle that isn't paid for goes back to the auction, with an abandonment fee of $600 or 10% of its price, whichever is greater.
