CARSFROMWEST is a service-based platform registered in the state of Florida.

Acting as an intermediary, we facilitate the entire process, from bidding to final purchase, including handling all necessary paperwork and logistical arrangements. While our partner dealers are registered members with Copart and IAAI, we are not owned, controlled, affiliated with, or endorsed by either Copart or IAAI.

3. REGISTRATION

Joining our Website is fast and easy! To get started go to the CARSFROMWEST registration page (https://carsfromwest.com/en/register); fill out the form and confirm your information. After registering, we require a government-issued photo ID or business license from you via email. You can also upload it online via your back office on our Website. This is required to be stored on file before you place any bids. Please visit our Privacy Policy to understand how we store and manage your data.

4. MEMBERSHIP

With our free Starter membership, you can bid on items during the Preliminary Bidding. Your transaction fee will be 5% of purchase price with a minimum of $349 USD, whichever is greater. All fees you can check in our price calculator before bidding.

Memberships, once created, belong to the user only, and are not transferable to another person or entity.

5. REFUNDABLE SECURITY DEPOSIT

Before you can bid on and purchase vehicles through our Website, the Company requires a refundable security deposit (Deposit). This can be either $600 USD or 10% of your allowed bidding limit. A deposit of $600 USD grants you the ability to bid on a vehicle up to $6,000 USD. Similarly, a deposit of $2,000 USD permits bidding up to $20,000 USD. To increase your bidding limit at any time, visit the deposit page in your Account.

If the request is done via Buy It Now, the deposit should be a minimum of $1,000 or 15% of the Buy Now price.

  1. The deposit can be filed via payment card or bank wire. Please note: a wire transfer fee in the amount of $25 USD is already included in the invoice. In case of a refund or by using wire transfers for partial payment towards your final invoice, a $45 USD charge will apply.
  2. When you make a deposit using a payment card, we will hold it without any charges for 7 days. If you place an active bid or purchase a car, the deposit will be processed and remains valid for 45 days. You can request a refund of the deposit at any point. Submit your requests either via email using the registered account email address or directly through your account. Please note that a 4% payment card processing fee will be deducted during a refund due to third-party transaction costs for domestically issued cards (USA). For international cards, the processing fee is 5%.

    The deposit of $600 (or 10% of the maximum bid if it exceeds $6,000) is temporarily held on the buyer’s account until the invoice is paid. Once the invoice is paid, the deposit is released and can either be refunded or used again for future bidding.

Wire Transfer and Zelle Refund Policy:

If a user opts to deposit funds via wire transfer or Zelle for a transaction with CARSFROMWEST, it's understood and agreed that refunds for such deposits will only be made to the individual registered with CARSFROMWEST at the time of the transaction. For instance, if John Watson is the registered user, any deposit he makes via wire transfer or Zelle will be exclusively refunded to John Watson.

Please note that this is just an example, and the actual registered individual's name will be used in accordance with the customer's registration with CARSFROMWEST.

Forfeiture of Unclaimed Deposits:

All user deposits are refundable upon request, provided the request is made within three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date of your last transaction or the original deposit date, whichever is later.

If no refund is requested within this 365-day period, the deposit shall be deemed forfeited due to account inactivity and retained by the Company as profit. Forfeited deposits will no longer be eligible for refunds and will not be credited toward future purchases.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the impending forfeiture of your deposit at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the 365-day period. The notice will be sent to the email address you provided during registration. It is your legal responsibility to ensure that your contact information is accurate and up to date to receive such notices.

Please note: Although forfeited deposits become Company property, any remaining balances unclaimed after five (5) years may still be subject to Florida’s Unclaimed Property Law (Chapter 717, Florida Statutes). If applicable, those funds may be reported and remitted to the State of Florida. Any recovery after that time must be made directly through the Florida Department of Financial Services.

6. PLACING A BID OR CREATING A BUY NOW REQUEST

Auction has two stages: Preliminary Bidding and Live Auction. Preliminary Bidding starts when the vehicle is assigned a sale date and continues until one hour (cut-off) before the ‘Live Auction’. You can submit the maximum price you are willing to pay for the vehicle on the vehicle page. You can retract, lower, make it higher, or cancel the bid any time before the cut-off in Preliminary Bidding.

We also allow you to place requests for the lots with ‘Buy Now’ options. You can create a ‘Buy Now’ request from the lot page until one hour (cut off) before the ‘Live Auction’. We will place a request at the auction site and try to negotiate the purchase. We do not guarantee that your ‘Buy Now’ request will be fulfilled as this depends on the final decision of the seller on the auction site. You cannot change\cancel your ‘Buy Now’ request after its creation since it will be processed immediately by the manager (as soon as you created it).

You cannot change your bid after the cut off. Beyond the cut off, CARSFROMWEST registers your ‘Bid’ at the auction site automatically as a proxy bid, and we are unable to retract, lower or cancel the bid at the auction’s website. If an auction ends with the ‘User’ as a high bidder, the ‘User’ will be obliged to either purchase the vehicle or forfeit his/her security deposit. All bids are final.

If the vehicle is won ‘On Approval’ or ‘Minimum Bid’, we will negotiate the final price on your behalf with the seller. We may contact the bidder if the negotiated price goes over the maximum bid amount. We reserve the right to increase the bidding amount up to your maximum bid ‘On Approval’ and ‘Minimum Bid’ auctions without contacting you first. If you decide to stay at your winning bid - you need to contact the Company within one (1) hour after the ‘On Approval’ purchase.

During the auction, the Copart bidding platform VB3 will bid one bid increment at a time until your maximum bid over the preliminary bidding closed price. Please review Copart’s terms for detailed information.

All bids at the Live Auction are placed by participants in turn, and no two identical bids are allowed. If the current bid has reached your maximum bid, we cannot repeat it. In this case, the auction may add one increment to the current bid, and your max bid will be increased by one increment. This increment is not included in the final invoice if you win the auction, and your actual bid was the original one.

IMPORTANT: Please note that we cannot guarantee the purchase of a lot in Wisconsin, Alabama, and Michigan.

6A. BUYER’S DUE DILIGENCE

All vehicles listed on the Website are sourced from third-party auction platforms (e.g., Copart, IAAI). CARSFROMWEST does not own or inspect any vehicles listed for sale. All information including photographs, vehicle condition reports, and title status is provided by the respective auction platforms and is not verified or guaranteed by CARSFROMWEST.

The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that:

  • Vehicle photos may not reflect the true condition of the vehicle and may omit damage or defects.
  • Hidden damage may exist, including but not limited to frame damage, mechanical issues, electrical problems, water/flood exposure, and airbag deployment.
  • A "Run and Drive" designation only indicates the vehicle started and moved under its own power at the time of auction inspection and does not imply roadworthiness or mechanical soundness.
  • Title status (e.g., clean, salvage, rebuilt) may change after purchase due to historical records, DMV evaluation, or insurance branding. CARSFROMWEST is not liable for such reclassifications.

It is the sole responsibility of the Buyer to perform due diligence by reviewing vehicle history reports, damage disclosures, and available inspection options before bidding. CARSFROMWEST makes no warranties or representations regarding the completeness or accuracy of any auction-provided information.

We strongly encourage Users to order vehicle history reports (e.g., NMVTIS, VIN.DOCTOR) and, if necessary, arrange independent inspections prior to bidding or purchase.

6B. TITLE STATUS DISCLOSURE

The Buyer acknowledges that vehicle title status may be subject to change due to DMV, insurance company, or other third-party reclassification after the sale. A vehicle listed with a "clean" or "non-salvage" title may later be deemed salvage, rebuilt, or junk titled based on damage history or state-specific regulations. CARSFROMWEST does not guarantee any title classification and shall not be held liable for resulting registration issues or valuation discrepancies.

7. BID REJECTION

Any supported automobile auction (Copart and IAAI) reserves the right to void bids for any reason at Copart’s or IAAI’s sole discretion. Should a dispute arise regarding a bid, the auction is the exclusive deciding authority in resolving disputes. Buyers agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CARSFROMWEST, Copart, or IAAI depending on the lot from any and all liability arising out of decisions made in resolving disputes.

IMPORTANT: We reserve the right to cancel your bid at any time without providing a reason.

8. PROJECTED WIN BID FEATURE

CARSFROMWEST’s projected ‘Win Bid’ feature provides users with the ability to estimate the possible winning bid amount for a lot. The feature is intended to provide a reference for users and help you decide what amount to bid. This is for your information only. The user ultimately decides what amount gets bid on the auction lot.

9. BUYING

You have successfully placed the winning bid.

  1. Once you have won the auction, you will get an instant notification via email and the ‘Lots Won’ menu under ‘My Account’. An invoice and wire transfer instructions will be emailed to you immediately. Users will pay the final bid price, applicable auction fees based on the final sales price, transaction fee, and documentation fee direct to CARSFROMWEST.
  2. Payment for won vehicles must be paid by wire transfer or Zelle only.
  3. When you buy a car on our website you understand that you are purchasing a car from CARSFROMWEST or 3rd party and not Copart/IAAI. Users must sign a bill of sale and any other legal documents required by CARSFROMWEST, and provide a valid copy of a government-issued ID in order to receive the transferred vehicle title.
  4. CARSFROMWEST can assign vehicle ownership to the user and user only, no other person than the user is permitted. CARSFROMWEST may not release the title of the bought vehicle for any reason it deems justified, such as but not limited to, remaining balance on the account, incomplete or missing documents, and suspicious activity on the account. Also, see the section named ‘Title’ in this document for additional information.
  5. When purchasing internationally, users are fully responsible for all proper documentation, duties, customs, and fees associated with exporting a vehicle from the country of origin, and importing to the destination country.

10. PERSONAL ACCOUNT BIDDING EXAMPLE

John pays an $800 USD deposit by bank wire. His account is supplied with an $8,000 bidding limit. He can bid on one car up to $8,000 USD. John bids $5,000 USD on a car. His bidding limit shows $3,000 USD, but John cannot bid on other cars because the minimum bid amount should be $6,000 USD (10%/$600 USD minimum deposit requirement). John does not win the car, $5,000 USD is returned to his bidding limit, and an updated bidding limit shows $8,000 USD. He places a $7,500 USD bid on the other car. He wins it for $6,000 USD. He receives an invoice for the car immediately. He cannot bid any more. John pays the full amount within 2 days. His payment due is $0, his deposit of $800 is returned to the account. He can bid on another car or he can request to refund his deposit.

11. TRANSACTION FEE

The Company charges a transaction fee based on the user’s membership plus a documentation fee of $139 USD for each lot purchased in addition to any auction fees (Copart or IAAI, depending on the lot auction). Transaction fee for Starter account is 5% of purchase price with a minimum of $349 USD, whichever is greater.The user agrees to pay these fees in full prior to picking up the car and/or title being transferred into the user’s name.

12. PURCHASE PAYMENT

Only wire transfer and Zelle can be used for car payment. No debit/credit cards, no cash, no cashiers check. Purchase should be paid within 2 (two) business days, including the sale day. For example, you purchased a car on March 1st. CARSFROMWEST needs to receive your payment by 5:00 pm Eastern time on March 2nd. An additional fee will be charged for each duplicate salvage certificate or bill of sale requested. After two business days you will be charged a $50 USD late fee on Copart, or $50 or 2% of the selling price of the vehicle, whichever is greater, for IAAI.

Deposit via wire transfer or Zelle can be used as partial payment for the invoice or towing fees. Deposit via bank card cannot be used as partial payment for the invoice or towing fees. Credit/debit card payment might be used only for shipping assistance.

There is no buyer's remorse period. All sales are final. If payment is not made by the 7th (seventh) day after the sale or is canceled by you, you will be charged a relist fee of $600 USD or 10% of the sale price, whichever is greater, if purchased from Copart, or $1000 or 15% of the sale price, whichever is greater, if purchased from IAAI. Additionally, you are responsible for paying a transaction fee to CARSFROMWEST, a documentation fee, and any storage or late fees. These fees will be deducted from your deposit or charged to the card on file. CARSFROMWEST becomes the legal owner of the car, and your deposit with CARSFROMWEST will be forfeited. Each customer is allowed only one relist. If this occurs again for the same customer, their access to CARSFROMWEST will be permanently revoked.

In case of refusal to accept the vehicle after the payment user takes responsibilities of all fees associated with reselling vehicle at the auction or on his own. Transaction fee paid to CARSFROMWEST is not refundable.

13. PICK UP VEHICLES

The auction winner is responsible for a timely pickup and all storage fees, if accrued. You have 5 (five) days since the day of purchase to pick up the vehicle. If not picked up within 5 (five) days of the purchase you will be charged a storage fee of $20 USD per day at Copart. IAAI storage fees are location-dependent, so may vary depending on the lot. Please refer to their website for a detailed quote. Usually IAAI provides 2 (two) days including the day of purchase to pick up the car.

  1. Vehicles purchased and not removed from the location by 4:45 pm (Copart’s purchased facility time) on the final pick-up day will be moved to the locked storage area and will only be released upon payment of an additional gate fee, as well as all storage fees that have accrued.
  2. The user is fully responsible for vehicle pick up and storage fees. Users understand and acknowledge that no matter what the condition of the vehicle is, it is not allowed to legally drive on the road until car registration and/or State DMV inspection. All vehicles must be towed or transported to their destination when taken out of the Copart facility.
  3. Certain vehicles are not stored at the main Copart location listed. These are either designated as an ’Offsite Sale’ or are located at a Copart designated sub-lot. The pickup location will be noted on the lot details page, in the notes section. Contact the listed pickup location for information regarding preview, payment, or pickup hours.
  4. The shipping price shown on the website is an estimate typically based on a car in run-and-drive condition. The actual price can vary depending on the location, delivery address, seasonal spikes, and fuel price increases. Units that require special handling, such as those without the ability to run and drive or without keys, may incur additional loading and unloading costs. This additional cost and arrangement (unloading precisely, such as having a forklift or an additional tow truck to unload) is solely the buyer's responsibility. If delivery cannot be completed because there was no way to unload the vehicle, the buyer is responsible for any incurred costs. The shipping price for boats, heavy-duty trucks, or oversized vans is usually double the normal price, and we cannot guarantee their transportation. Please request a shipping quote before bidding or make arrangements with your own movers prior to bidding.
  5. There is no buyer's remorse period. All sales are final. If pickup is not made by the 10th (tenth) day after the sale or storages accrue over $500, CARSFROMWEST becomes the legal owner of the car. Vehicle will be sold and proceedings go to cover storages and sale fee.
  6. IMPORTANT: If you buy any lot from Florida, you cannot move it on your own. CARSFROMWEST will move your lot for you. This is mandatory, or the user will have to pay taxes from their state to CARSFROMWEST.

14. TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

CARSFROMWEST is not a car hauler, but can arrange a third-party tow providers per User request. Please contact us for the best available quote or check our prices on the lot pages under ‘Price calculator’.

We need to receive the request on the same day you win the auction. Shipping costs and other shipping-associated fees must be paid in advance by the user. CARSFROMWEST acts as a shipping broker and does not assume any responsibility for, but is not limited to, damages during transportation, any other associated losses during shipment, shipping delays, issues with loading/unloading, extra costs to unload, etc.

This is the sole liability and responsibility of the shipping company and not CARSFROMWEST. CARSFROMWEST is also not responsible for any storage fees or extra gate fees if the shipping company picks up the lot late.

Invoices for shipping do not include any potential additional charges to unload the vehicles if the car is not in running condition. The buyer is solely responsible for unloading the vehicle and all related costs, and understands that there may be various delays. The buyer must also provide a forklift if required.

Export

If an overseas country is not listed in the export options on our website's shipping calculator, the user must verify with CARSFROMWEST whether shipping to that destination is possible before making a purchase. Alternatively, the user must arrange their own shipping solution.

If CARSFROMWEST exports the car, the User is responsible for all fees related to the shipping of the vehicle. If the vehicle arrives at the destination port without payment received, CARSFROMWEST will add a $500 fine. Without full payment, CARSFROMWEST will not issue a release. If payment is not received within 15 days of the arrival at the destination port, CARSFROMWEST becomes the legal owner and will sell the car to cover the cost of shipping.

15. TITLE

The title will be released to the User once CARSFROMWEST has received full payment, reassigned the original title, and obtained the User’s electronic signatures on all required paperwork. Once these conditions are met, the title will be mailed to the address the User has on file.

Users are solely responsible for understanding and complying with the vehicle registration, titling, and taxation requirements of their respective state or jurisdiction. CARSFROMWEST makes no representations or warranties regarding the legality or registrability of vehicles in User's state. Because registration laws vary by state, it is the User’s responsibility to verify a vehicle’s eligibility for registration in their state prior to purchase.

We strongly recommend that Users consult their local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or other relevant authority to determine whether a vehicle can be registered in their state based on its title status and history.

  1. Important: The User should note that CARSFROMWEST must first receive the title from the auction before it can be mailed to the User. Please allow up to 30 days to receive the title. Under no circumstances will the title be released at the time of vehicle pick up.
  2. E-signature: The User must provide an electronic signature on the necessary documents to complete the paperwork processing. Required documents for e-signature include the Bill of Sale and, when applicable, the Declaration Affidavit (the latter is required only if the vehicle is purchased through a company in Florida). If the documents are not electronically signed by the User, CARSFROMWEST reserves the right to retain them until the required signatures are provided.
  3. Duplicate title: In the event of a purchased vehicle’s title being lost/misplaced by you or mailed without tracking #, or lost by postal company, you can request a duplicate title through the Company. An additional fee of $150 USD will apply to process this request.
  4. Unreceived or Unclaimed Documents: All documents are sent via FedEx/UPS and require direct signature confirmation upon receipt. If the documents are either not received or claimed by the User and are returned to CARSFROMWEST, a fee of $80 will be charged for reprocessing and resending the documents. CARSFROMWEST is not responsible for any delays or potential loss of paperwork incurred by the mailing company. It is the User's sole responsibility to ensure the receipt of documents.
  5. Pending Title: Exercise caution when bidding on vehicles labeled with a "title pending" status. This designation indicates that the vehicle’s title is not yet available. In such cases, you may incur storage fees if the vehicle remains at the auction yard while awaiting title readiness. Additionally, shipping companies may impose storage fees if they are required to hold the vehicle at their facilities. Typically, the title is ready within up to 45 days, but there have been instances where the process extended to several months. CARSFROMWEST is not responsible for any fees incurred due to delays in title preparation.
  6. Delays: CARSFROMWEST is not liable for any complications, storage fees, or registration issues resulting from title delays due to Pending state, Duplicate process, or Unclaimed statuses. In such instances, all inquiries should be directed to the auction house or the DMV. While CARSFROMWEST is not responsible for these delays, we are committed to providing assistance wherever possible to mitigate the inconvenience.
  7. Title absent: If the title is not received from the auction within 45 days, CARSFROMWEST will take all necessary steps to resolve the issue with the auction and refund the full purchase price, minus shipping costs, to the user. The refund will be issued only after the vehicle is picked up from the user and delivered back to the auction in the same condition.

16. REGISTRATION AT THE DMV

The user is responsible to register the car on their own. The user is responsible for any possible DMV fees. The user is also responsible for any collection fees if they do not complete the ownership transfer on time. The user is responsible to verify whether car can be registered in his/her state before purchasing the car.

17. REGISTRATION LAWS DISCLAIMER

CARSFROMWEST makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees that vehicles sold can be legally registered in every state or country. The User acknowledges and accepts all risks and responsibilities associated with the variations in vehicle registration and titling laws across different states, provinces, and countries, which can affect the marketability and legal status of purchased vehicles. For instance, a vehicle purchased with a clean title in one State "A" might be required to have a salvage title if sold or registered in State "B" due to differing legal requirements and regulations.

CARSFROMWEST recommends ordering a NMVTIS report (similar to CarFax or VIN.DOCTOR) to check the car's history and any notes on salvage records or Total loss. If any salvage records or Total loss are present, it is the User’s responsibility to verify with their specific state or jurisdiction that the vehicle can be legally titled and registered.
