Buy Salvage Cars Without a Dealer License - Skip the Auctions and Save More

Ever thought about buying a salvage car but felt overwhelmed by the process of dealing with salvage auctions like Copart or Insurance Auto Auctions (IAA)? If you've been led to believe that you need a dealer's license or have to jump through endless hoops to get your hands on a salvage vehicle, think again! At BidGoDrive, we make it easy for anyone to buy salvage cars without needing a dealer's license, avoiding all the extra fees, and simplifying the entire process.

At BidGoDrive, the buying experience is completely different. Forget about having to bid against other buyers or paying to register. Here, you can purchase directly without worrying about competition or extra costs creeping up.


Why Choose BidGoDrive Over a Salvage Auction?

Traditional salvage car auctions such as Copart auctions or insurance auto auctions require you to either have a dealer license or hire a broker, which can quickly add unnecessary costs to your purchase. Not to mention the hidden fees on top of your winning bid—things like auction fees, broker fees, and additional administrative costs that you might not anticipate.

At BidGoDrive, the buying experience is completely different. Forget about having to bid against other buyers or paying to register. Here, you can purchase directly without worrying about competition or extra costs creeping up.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • No Dealer License Required: Unlike Copart auto auctions or IAA salvage auctions where a dealer license is often mandatory, anyone can buy on BidGoDrive with just a valid driver's license or passport.
  • No Bidding or Hidden Fees: Salvage auctions can be complex, with various fees tacked on after the highest bid. At BidGoDrive, we believe in transparent pricing—what you see is what you get.
  • Hassle-Free Experience: Don’t want to hire a broker or navigate auction processes? No problem. Our platform lets you buy salvage cars directly without any middlemen.

With BidGoDrive, you can skip the hassle, save on fees, and buy the car you want—without the headaches of a traditional salvage car auction.


Who Buys Salvage Cars?

Salvage cars are in demand by a diverse group of buyers who see the potential for great deals and unique projects:

  • Everyday Shoppers: Looking for an affordable vehicle that fits your budget? Many buyers choose salvage cars because they can often get a great car at a fraction of the market value.
  • Car Enthusiasts & DIYers: Love restoring vehicles or working on custom builds? Salvage cars are a goldmine for those who like to tinker and bring vehicles back to life.
  • Small Business Owners: Many small businesses, including repair shops and used car dealerships, buy salvage vehicles to repair and resell.
  • Mechanics: Salvage cars provide mechanics with affordable repair projects, spare parts, or vehicles to flip.

Why Buy Salvage Cars Without Auction Fees?

Purchasing through salvage auctions like Copart and IAA may seem like the only route for salvage car buyers, but the reality is far from that. Salvage auto auctions can come with various fees that inflate your costs, making it difficult to determine what you'll end up paying in total. Let’s break down some of the fees you’ll avoid by purchasing through BidGoDrive instead:

  • Broker Fees: If you're not a licensed dealer, you might need to hire a broker to bid on vehicles for you in many salvage auctions.
  • Buyer’s Premiums: A percentage of your winning bid that goes straight to the auction house. This fee can add up to hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.
  • Documentation Fees: While auctions handle the paperwork, they charge extra for it, increasing your total cost.
  • Storage and Transport Fees: If you win the bid but can’t pick up the vehicle right away, you’ll often incur storage fees. You may also need to pay extra to arrange transportation for your vehicle.

By choosing BidGoDrive, you're bypassing all these hidden costs. We offer competitive prices upfront, and the only things you’ll need to factor in are shipping and your registration fees when you take ownership of the vehicle.
