Know your max bid before the lane opens.
Trust Autos works out the most you can pay for a car and still make your money — using your auction's real fees, your repair costs and the profit you want. Then it tracks every car you buy from watching through recon to sold.
Fees to the cent
Buyer fee, internet fee, environmental fee, sales tax, card surcharge. Built from real IAA invoices and editable per auction, so the number is yours, not an estimate.
The whole sale list, read
Drop the auction's CSV in and get every car read the way a veteran buyer reads one — likely retail, likely repair, where it will hammer, who else will chase it — with your fee table setting each max bid.
What can burn you, first
Branded titles, deployed airbags, flood and odometer trouble, open recalls, and what the photos show that the listing does not. Surfaced before the good news.
