Know the numbers before the hammer falls
Salvage Prophet reads a UK Copart salvage lot and works out whether it is worth bidding on. It estimates the repair cost from the auction photos, adds the buyer fees and VAT most people forget, values the repaired car against the market, and gives you a maximum bid for your target profit.
What you get from one lot URL
- Repair cost estimated from the actual damage in the listing photos
- Copart buyer fee tier, internet fee and VAT, itemised
- Market value for the repaired car, and the write-off category discount
- A graded deal ticket and the maximum bid for your target return
