If you are buying a used or salvage car from the United States, the first thing you want to know is how much that car actually sold for at auction. Copart and IAAI are the two biggest insurance auto auctions in North America, and almost every wrecked, flooded or repossessed vehicle from the US passes through one of them before it gets shipped overseas. The final bid on those auctions is the real market price of the car, and that number tells you a lot more than any seller description ever will.
SalesHistory.org gives you free access to that information by VIN. You do not need to register, pay for a membership or install anything. Just paste the VIN of the car you are interested in and you get the full sales history: when the car went through Copart or IAAI, what was the final bid, what damage was reported, how many miles it had on the odometer, and what it looked like in the auction photos.
Our service is used every day by buyers and dealers from Ukraine, Georgia, Lithuania, Poland, Kazakhstan, the Baltic states and many other countries who import cars from the US. We process more than thirty thousand new lots per day from both auctions, so the data stays current and you can compare prices on similar cars before you bid or before you pay a dealer.
Latest lots from Copart and IAAI to give you a feel for current auction prices.
See the exact amount the car was sold for, the run list, and the bid increments. This is the real auction price, not an estimate. If the lot ran several times before it sold, you will see the previous attempts as well.
Every report comes with the original auction photos. You can see the damage from every angle, the interior, the engine bay and the odometer. Auction photos do not lie, and that is usually the most useful part of the whole report.
You get the recorded odometer reading, whether the car has keys, the type of transmission, the drive type and the engine. The built-in VIN decoder shows the original factory specs so you can spot any inconsistencies.
Find out which Copart or IAAI yard the car was sold from and when exactly the sale happened. This helps with logistics, shipping cost estimates and verifying the timeline if a seller claims the car is fresh from auction.
Type or paste the seventeen character VIN into the search box at the top of the page. You can find the VIN on the dashboard near the windshield, on the driver door pillar, or on any sale listing.
Our system checks the VIN against millions of Copart and IAAI lots. If the car was sold through one of these auctions, the report opens immediately. No payment, no signup, no waiting.
Look through the auction photos, check the final bid, the damage description, the odometer and the location. Use this information to negotiate, to estimate repair costs or to walk away if something feels wrong.
Copart and IAA (Insurance Auto Auctions, also known as IAAI) are the two largest online auto auctions in the United States. Insurance companies send them cars that were declared a total loss after an accident, flood or theft recovery. Banks send them repossessed vehicles. Most of the salvage and used cars that get exported from the US to Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia come from one of these two auctions.
The VIN is a seventeen character code made of letters and numbers. You can see it on the lower left corner of the windshield, on a sticker on the driver side door jamb, or in any registration document. If you are looking at a listing online, the VIN is almost always shown near the title.
Yes. We do not charge anything for the auction history report. You see the final bid, the photos, the damage and the mileage without paying. We also do not ask for an email or phone number. The reason we can do this is that the service is supported by ads and partner integrations, not by selling reports.
We import new lots from Copart and IAAI every day. On average more than thirty thousand new sales are added daily. If a car was sold yesterday, it will usually appear in our system within twenty four hours.
Yes, every report includes the original auction photos. You will see exterior shots from multiple angles, the interior, the engine compartment, the odometer reading and the VIN plate. These are the same photos that bidders saw on the auction day.
We focus on giving the full report for free, without limits and without forcing you to register. Many similar services hide the final price or the photos behind a paywall, or ask you to subscribe to see the full data. We keep the report open. The data sources are similar across all these projects because everyone pulls from Copart and IAAI, but the experience and the price are not the same.
