Inside the report
Don't take our word for it.
Here's the report.
Every screenshot below is a section of a real report on a real Copart lot. Nothing is mocked up.
Damage inspection
Every photo, checked against the listing
Copart listed this 2025 Mercedes as “minor dent/scratches.” The report read all 12 photos and found a front-end collision with frame concerns.
- A severity and a 0–10 confidence score on every finding
- Airbags, frame, and flood signs called out up front
- The angles the photos don't show, listed so you know what's unverified
Repair estimate
Repair costs, line by line
Body, paint, electrical, and service, priced low, typical, and high — including the work a quick look at the photos misses.
- Itemized by category, not one lump sum
- Likely hidden costs flagged, like this car's 48V hybrid system and dealer-only ADAS calibration
- The typical total feeds straight into the max bid
Bid strategy
A max bid you can defend
The highest hammer price that still leaves a 20% margin once the auction fee, title, transport, and repairs are paid.
- All-in cost and margin at four different bids
- A discipline check: what going 10–15% over max really costs
- Transport priced from the yard to your ZIP
Market & resale
What it will sell for, with the math shown
A retail ceiling for the car, discounted for this title and this damage, plus how long it will sit and what that costs you.
- Clean titles priced as clean titles, not hit with a salvage discount
- Days to sell and holding cost included
- A one-click check against KBB
Model intel
Known problems for this exact model
On this 2016 BMW X1, the report flagged the N20 engine's history of timing-chain failure — a problem no listing photo can show.
- Common failures and parts prices for the make, model, and engine
- ADAS recalibration cost after body work
- Open NHTSA recalls for the year, make, and model
Inspection checklist
What to check before you bid
Everything the photos can't prove, ranked by what matters most, so you know exactly what to look at if you go see the car.
- Critical checks first, each with the reason it matters
- Structural, mechanical, electrical, and paperwork checks
- Specific enough to hand straight to a mechanic
What we catch
What buyers miss
at first glance
Six things the average paste-VIN tool won't tell you about this lot. Every one is a real finding from a real auction listing.
$7-12K gain
Open recall = free fix
Jeep 4xe K91 charging-system recall: $7-12K repair the dealer eats. The seller has no reason to mention it. We do.
100K mi delta
Mileage OCR mismatch
Listing says 45,000 miles. Dashboard photo says 145,000. We cross-check before you bid, not after the title arrives.
$3-5K hidden
German timing-chain trap
BMW 80K+ miles is timing-chain-guide territory. We surface the $3-5K recon the listing won't show.
26 pts saved
Clean-title valuation that's actually correct
Most tools auto-haircut every report 30-45% like it's salvage. We cap by title type so clean-title cars get a clean-title price.
$2.8K avoided
Warning light ≠ broken
AEB or airbag light on the dashboard? Often a $150 sensor reset after a yard-side battery disconnect — not a $3K ADAS job.

FAQ
Before you buy
What if the verdict feels wrong?
24h money-back, no questions asked. Email hi@vetmyride.com and tell us what felt off. We refund within 24 hours, and your feedback shapes the next version of the report.
How accurate is it? Where do your numbers come from?
Every damage finding ships with a confidence score (0-10). Sources: recalls direct from NHTSA; retail values from the Kaggle US Cars dataset (60 mainstream makes, 2016-2024) with an AI fallback for vehicles outside that set; repair costs from model-derived line items cross-checked against vehicle-intel bullets (Tesla HV, BMW timing chain, etc.); transport from yard coordinates + Haversine distance to your ZIP. When the model is out of its depth we mark it NEEDS REVIEWinstead of inventing a number. We haven't audited verdict accuracy against historical hammer prices yet — this is v1, and the 24-hour refund is your safety net while we build that track record.
Do I need a dealer license to bid?
Depends on your state. Most US states let public buyers bid on Copart through a registered broker like Copart Direct or AutoBidMaster — no license required. A handful of states restrict resale of salvage-title vehicles to licensed dealers, but personal-use buying is still allowed in most. Check your state DMV before bidding — we'll vet the lot either way.
Do you support IAAI?
Yes. Paste any Copart or IAAI lot URL. We pull the listing details and every photo automatically.
Can I refresh during the auction?
Yes. Every report includes 2 free refreshes. Each one re-pulls the latest bid, updates the bid-history graph, and re-runs the margin math so your max-bid number reflects what's happening on the block right now.
What can't you accurately analyze?
Honest list: classic / pre-2000 vehicles (our valuation dataset starts at 2016 — we hard-refuse anything older rather than guess); rare exoticsand one-off trims (out-of-domain → NEEDS REVIEW); anything where the listing photos don't show the area in question (we flag the gap, we don't fabricate damage we can't see); and structural / undercarriage damage when Copart only photographs the top half — the inspection checklist tells you what to look at on-site.
Is this a substitute for a real inspection?
No. We catch what the listing photos show, cross-check public records, and price the work. Every report ends with an inspection checklist for what to verify on-site if you decide to go look.
Our money-back promise
If something in your report doesn't feel right — the verdict seems off, the math looks wrong, or you just don't trust it — email hi@vetmyride.com and tell us why. We'll refund your payment within 24h. No objections, no fine print. We're using v1 feedback to make the product right.
