Know a salvage lot’s profit before you bid
Before you bid on a Copart or IAAI lot, reParta turns the VIN into a money decision instead of a gut call. Enter the VIN and you instantly get a projected parts list - then edit it: uncheck the parts that are missing or wrecked on this exact lot. From the parts you keep, you get estimated resale revenue based on real, current used-market prices, the auction and transport fees, your purchase price, and the net profit - plus a risk score that flags a good-looking car that’s a bad buy. Save analyses to compare lots side by side. It’s the one thing both the legacy yard tools and the new apps don’t put in front of you.
Pre-bid ROI in one place
Step by step
Decode year, make, model, trim and engine for free, and get an instant projected parts list - no listing URL or scraping.
Uncheck parts that are missing or wrecked on this lot, and rename or re-map any you’re swapping - so the estimate matches reality.
Real used-market prices on just the parts you kept, minus auction fees, transport and your purchase price - that’s your net profit.
A risk score flags lots that are riskier than they look; save analyses to weigh lots side by side before you bid.
How do I know if a salvage car is worth bidding on?
How do you calculate profit before bidding?
You enter the VIN and your intended purchase price, then trim the projected parts list to what’s actually on the lot. From the parts you keep, reParta estimates resale revenue from real used-market prices, subtracts auction and transport fees and your purchase price, and shows net profit and a risk score - all before the lot opens.
Which auctions and sources does it work with?
It’s VIN-based, so it works for Copart, IAAI, private purchases and motorcycles. You enter the purchase price yourself - there is no auction-site scraping involved.
Do I need the auction listing URL?
No. Pre-bid ROI works from the VIN alone plus the price you plan to pay. Nothing is scraped from Copart or IAAI.
