How to check a car from a US auction

  1. Find the VIN

    It's in the listing, on the windshield and on the driver's door pillar. A lot number works too.

  2. See every sale

    Photos taken at the yard, the damage as the auction listed it, the odometer and the final bid.

  3. Count the real cost

    Add auction fees, towing and freight to your country before you bid on the same car again.

Where to find the VIN

The VIN is 17 characters: letters and digits, never I, O or Q. It is the same in every document of the car.

  1. Windshield lower corner on the driver's side, read from outside
  2. Door pillar sticker on the driver's side B-pillar
  3. Title and registration printed on the title, registration and insurance card
  4. Auction listing every Copart and IAAI lot shows it next to the lot number

What a sale record shows

2012 Mazda 3 I

  • Final bid and date

    What the car actually sold for, not the buy-now price, with the yard and sale date.

  • Damage, as listed

    Primary and secondary damage, title type, keys, and whether it ran and drove at the yard.

  • Odometer

    Reading at sale time with the auction's status: actual, exempt or not actual.

  • Repeat sales

    When the same VIN went through auctions more than once, every sale is on one page.

Questions

Is the VIN check free?

Yes. Sale history, photos, damage and prices on vinlama are free and need no account.

Where does the data come from?

From public Copart and IAAI listings: what the auction showed to every bidder before and after the sale.

Why check a car that was sold at a salvage auction?

A rebuilt car is often resold without a word about the accident. The auction record shows the damage and the price before repair.

The car I want isn't here. Why?

We add sales every day, older ones too. Check back in a few days or search by lot number.

I own this car. Can the record be reviewed?

Yes. Write to us with the VIN and we will review the record. Request record removal
