Buying a vehicle located in another state

Carena buys vehicles for you from Copart, IAAI and ADESA yards outside the state on your account address. Here is why and how.

Carena does not hold a dealer license in your state, so it can only buy vehicles on your behalf from auctions in other states. That is why vehicles located in your home state are hidden once you sign in, and bids on them are refused.

Every other state is open to you, across Copart, IAAI and ADESA. Shipping from the auction yard to your address is quoted after you win.

Budget for shipping

Transportation typically starts at around $800 and goes up depending on how far the vehicle is from where it is delivered. Add it to your budget before you bid; the exact quote comes after you win and is paid from your wallet.
