Features of working with the Copart auction
First of all, go to the Copart.com website and set the time zone correctly. Only then will you know the exact date and time of the auction. According to Ukrainian time, the auction operates on weekdays from 15:00 to 3:00. The site interface is in English. If you do not have sufficient language skills, use the automatic translation service.
Now you can proceed to search for a car. The sequence of actions is as follows:
· in the "Type" field, select "Automobile";
· enter the year of manufacture of the car that suits you: remember, according to Ukrainian legislation, you can clear customs for cars not older than 2010;
· specify the make and model of the car: the American market offers not only European brands, some manufacturers produce cars exclusively for the US market;
· location of the auction: the difference in transportation costs can reach 40% and be twice as long in time;
· click the "Start Search" button.
Click on "Join Auction" and you can watch the bidding without registration or access. Pay attention to such a parameter as "estimated value". On average, it is 35-40% of the full cost of the car, but in reality this indicator will depend on the level of consumer demand for this car: the higher the demand, the more expensive the car may go. With minimal demand, the vehicle can be purchased for 20% of the market price. If you are interested in a specific model, click on the "Place Bid" button.
Useful facts about Copart
The auction features not only cars but also other vehicles: special equipment, boats, yachts, motorcycles, etc. Many of them have damage of varying degrees, information about which is provided in the sections "Primary Damage" and "Secondary Damage". Carefully study both points to know exactly what problems exist in a specific model.
You should approach the choice of a car very carefully and responsibly. We have already mentioned that not only licensed organizations but also private individuals can sell vehicles on Copart, so the possibility of fraud cannot be ruled out. Externally, the car may look perfect, but upon arrival in Ukraine, you may see that it is beyond repair.
To avoid getting into such a situation personally, it is necessary to thoroughly check the car's history: the actual year of manufacture, mileage, number of owners, accident situations, when and what repairs were carried out, whether there was service maintenance and at what mileages. It is impossible to check all this yourself from Ukraine.
Therefore, the optimal solution is to turn to intermediaries. Taurus Group company will help you choose a car that meets your requirements, thoroughly check its history, conduct bidding on your behalf, and organize the delivery process. All you have to do is pick up the vehicle in your city.
