Copart is the largest salvage vehicle auction network in the US. Every day, insurance companies sell thousands of total-loss and salvage vehicles through Copart yards nationwide. But how much do these cars actually sell for? VestiCar tracks every Copart sale and the answer depends heavily on three factors: damage type, make/model, and year.
