Copart's listing page compresses a lot into a few fields. The ones that move money:
- Title type: clean, salvage certificate, certificate of destruction. A CoD vehicle can never be registered for road use — parts only.
- Primary/secondary damage: “minor dent/scratch” covers a wide range; “water/flood” should reset your repair math entirely.
- Runs and drives: means it moved under its own power in the yard — not that it is roadworthy, inspected, or safe.
- Keys: “no keys” on a modern vehicle can mean four figures in dealer programming.
Treat every field as a floor, not a ceiling, on what is wrong with the vehicle.
