Index entry: Copart — claims vs verification

Claims: the largest online salvage car auction marketplace; global buyer base; vehicles sold as-is.

Verified: all three. Scale is public record (NASDAQ-listed, 200+ US locations); the as-is term is enforced exactly as written, which cuts both ways — the platform is honest about offering no recourse.

  • Buyer fees are tiered and published; our test calculations matched invoices reported by readers within dollars.
  • License restrictions by state and title type are real; unlicensed buyers transact through registered brokers, an added and legitimate cost layer.
  • Storage and relist penalty clocks run as documented — the platform's rules punish unprepared buyers precisely because they are applied consistently.

Disposition: established infrastructure, high consistency between claims and behavior. The risk sits entirely in vehicle condition and buyer preparation.
