Most Copart auctions are restricted unless you have a dealer license. And going through a broker is likely to add at least $1000

Start adding. Copart fees, Salvagereseller fee,  bidding fee, gate fee.
 

I used a different broker when I bought my Touareg but I was not allowed to pick it up myself and there is wording suggesting the same on Salvagereseller so expect maybe the minimum of a tow company to pull it off the Copart lot and meet you in a parking lot with a trailer.

In reply to dan0 (Forum Supporter) :

yeah, the hidden fees are pretty much why I've stopped looking at CoPart and IAAI auctions.

 

When your hunting cheep crap, the fees quickly added a HUGE percentage to the overall out the door price.

i bought a bmw 760 last month on Copart/Salvagereseller 

bid was $2000, plus  $1030 in fees = $3030 

and i loaded it on my trailer in the copart parking lot... actually the nice forklift driver loaded it onto my trailer for me... 

so i cannot imagine how buying a $400 car is gonna be $1000 in fees... 

but, its the internet, so have at it!!  

"a million dollars??!? hahaha try a Billion!"

I was expecting the bid to be around $1000 at least since it has a reserve on it as well. 
 

I purchased a Touareg through Autobidmaster/ Copart in late December and bid was $1000 and paid $901 in fees hence my estimation of $1000 in fees in my post.
