Is COPART Still Worth It? I Tracked the Real Cost to Find Out.

Every time I mention Copart, I get the same comments: the fees are too high, the deals are gone, and regular people can’t win anymore.
So today I test that by tracking the real cost of buying, fixing, and driving a Copart car from start to finish.

I gave myself a $2,500 budget to buy a car from a Copart auto auction, pay all the fees, fix it, drive it, and still stay under book value. I’m not a dealer, I used a broker just like anyone else would, and I tracked every expense along the way.

This video covers:

Buying cars from Copart without a dealer license
Using a Copart broker as a regular person
Copart fees vs total cost
Fixing a car on a budget (no mechanic required)
Whether Copart is still worth it today

The goal isn’t to say every Copart car is a good deal — it’s to show that with patience, research, and realistic expectations, good deals are still possible.










Car details from this video:
2008 Mazda CX-9 (clean title)
117,000 miles
Third-row SUV
Purchased from Copart through a broker
Total cost under $2,300 (including fees, repairs, and tires)

This is a real example of buying a clean-title vehicle from Copart as a regular person and tracking the total cost from auction to road-ready.
