What can I do with carpybara.AI before bidding?

You can search Copart and IAA inventory in one catalogue, check VIN and auction history, review restored photos and prior listings, run AI damage analysis, estimate domestic fees and transport, save searches, and set lot reminders and alerts.

Is carpybara.AI free?

VIN lookup, the US cost calculator, and basic listing browsing are free. Paid plans unlock AI damage checks and deeper catalogue and workspace access; additional AI check packs do not expire.

Which US auction sources are covered?

The US homepage focuses on Copart US and IAA US. Listings are normalized into one search with VIN data, restored photos, auction history, timing, and enrichment signals when available.

How does AI damage analysis work?

Paste a supported Copart or IAA URL, VIN, or lot reference. carpybara.AI reviews the available photos and listing data, then produces a condition score, photo-by-photo notes, repair recommendations, estimated repair ranges, and risk warnings. It is a pre-bid screen, not a physical inspection.

How do saved searches, alerts, and lot reminders work?

Saved searches watch make, model, year, price, mileage, source, and damage filters. New matching Copart and IAA lots can be sent by website, email, browser push, or Telegram, while lot reminders bring you back before the auction starts.

What is included in the US total-cost estimate?

The estimate can include the expected winning bid, auction buyer fees, domestic transport from the auction yard, state sales/use tax, title, registration, and document fees. These are planning estimates; auction schedules, local taxes, carrier quotes, and DMV fees can differ.

What is Flip Detector?

Flip Detector checks a VIN against historical Copart and IAA records and the carpybara.AI archive. It highlights repeated listings, prior damage photos, mileage changes, flood or airbag clues, disappearing lots, and suspicious relists.

Can carpybara.AI place a bid or guarantee a vehicle?

No. carpybara.AI is an independent decision-support workspace. It does not own auction inventory, place bids, guarantee vehicle condition, or replace auction eligibility checks, a physical inspection, final fee schedules, or state title rules.
