Is AutoBidMaster.com a real legit business or it is a scam?
Did you know you can buy a dealer only car at Copart without a dealer's license?
I know because I am not a car dealer and I have purchased a ton of cars from the dealers auctions in the past 20 years.
These days I use a company called AutoBidMaster.com to win insurance auctions In the past year I've used them 5 times and counting.
I'm going to unbox the title on camera as proof! They are fantastic. Here is my experience.

#Autobidmaster #copart #salvagecars #auction
they assured me that i can import car witch was actually considered as a scrap in my country. I realized later on that car cant be registered in my country and a risk a fine of 50.000 USD. But they didnt care and they charged my about 1600 usd for the cancellation fees. its a robbery, they are not taking any resposibility for what they are saying. Complete ZERO for me.
Importing and registering are two completely different things. People buy scrap cars for parts not for rebuilding.
Sounds like you didn’t do your do diligence.
What country?
Autobidmaster and copart are big scammers!! Highly disappointed. I called before coming and was told it was ok to pick up car. After five hour trip copart refused to let me drive car off lot. In person told I need registration and license plate and registration appointment to pick car up. Im still heated paying $219 really pissed me off. Never again, let me know over phone what I need to pick up car, stop charging outrageous storage fees when you won't allow me to drive car off lot. The reception was horrible. Complete disaster, extremely unhappy.
Well you legally can't drive it off without that right? I've only bought from local auctions + IAAI but always bring a dolly to tow car out, but if you mean they don't even let you do that i would have to reconsider buying from copart
When filters out clean title run and drive on autobidmaster not only was the title branded it had two lien holders I was unable to register the car it got towed away and I couldn't release it I paid $4800 for the car + $1000 to ship it and an additional 4k I had in tools in the car I was so depressed
Woah - thats crazy.
Do they send you the salvage title when you buy an insurance car ?
I don't have to have a membership for copart and autobidmaster? I have the autobidmaster one for $350. And the car must be picked up by a transportation company? Cant drive it with insurance and a tenp tag off the lot if its road worthy
In theory, you can drive it off. I've seen it done. They call it a drive out. I've also seen yards say you can't. You'd need to ask the yard if they allow it. However, I would greatly caution you on driving them out - I've bought several run/drive/clear titles that needed a pile of work to be road worthy.
How long did it take to get the paperwork?
Every time it’s been less than 2 weeks from pickup.
Do I need both the autobidmaster and copart membership licenses? Or do I only need the autobidmaster?
You don't need both. You can do it with autobidmaster if you are not going to inspect it. According to the support docs a proxy user can inspect if they pay a per vehicle fee. I've not tried it so I can't verify.
Good video! Thank you. Do you only pay the transaction fee of $299 if you win the car bid?
Correct. It only applies if you win. If you bid and do not win (or the reserve is not met) you are not charged anything.
In how many days did you get the title from autobidmaster? And in the meanwhile, were you able to get temporary license plate to drive around?
I've bought 9 vehicles through these guys. I want to say its normally 7-10 days depending on when the weekend falls. The local copart has to Fed-Ex it to Oregon, AutoBidMaster puts their transfer sticker on the title and Fed-ex's it back to you. As for the tags - no temp tags are issued. I would generally recommend spending a few days looking over the car to make sure its road worthy. As the saying goes not all cars at the auction are junk.....but all the junk cars are at the auction.
@@BootstrapRevival do u have any contact from any of these bidmaster guys?
@@agustinvilleda7961 I have no relationship with this company. If I ever have customer support issues (which is rare) I text 503-298-4300. I'd love to work with them in the future, we'll see.
Awesome 👍
Thanks for watching!
What is the limit of buying cars yearly with bidmaster?
5
You can place a refundable deposit to bid on up to 8 vehicles at a time. I'm typically bidding on 1-2 at a time so I don't need that much. The deposit is eligible to be returned when the vehicle is paid for. As for how many you can buy in a year? I don't think they limit it.
I've personally bought more than 5 in one year with them.
Hi there.
I like this video.
Have couple questions ?
How much is membership $/ per year
Lets say you want to buy car for 10 000$ , how much are fees to Autobid and Coparts together or separate ?
Do they have byuing power ? Like Copart
Can you inspect car at Copart lot? If not how much is to inspect car fees?
Thanks
Hey, great questions!
You can see the differences in memberships in the link below. I personally have the Premium for $350. I like the 20 vin checks, and lower fees. I think if you buy 2 cars a year it's worth it. Different membership levels have different fees. Most of these fees are from Copart itself. I've had a membership there (and at IAAI) and their fees are always more than I want to pay.
There is cool final price estimator on AutoBidMaster's site. For me a $10.000 car would look this:
Final Bid $10,000 USD
Auction Fees $1,188 USD
Autobidmaster Transaction Fee $400 USD
Documentation Fee $139 USD
Total $11,727 USD
They do have buying power. I typically just a credit card when I want to bid. They will put a 10% hold on your card.
AutoBidMaster says on their site you can inspect. I've not tried it. All my copart walk arounds were on my old copart membership.
Hope that helps.

Can you pay cash at pickup
No cash but you can do Zelle and wire transfers from your bank. I’ve done both depending on the bid price of the car. Zelle has a lower daily limit. Your bank might charge for a wire.
@@BootstrapRevival my crappy online bank doesn't even do external wire transfers. Would have to do MoneyGram. Auction is in morning. Price is already getting close to my max so probably a no go anyways.
Did they put your name on the actual title or do they keep it blank?
They are a dealer. Copart (as a dealer) assigns the title to AutobidMaster, AutoBidMaster assigns it to you. You get a blue paper from Oregon that says assignment of title and odometer disclosure. Your name is printed on that paper. You take the original title and the blue paper to the DMV and they will give you a title. It sounds weird but dealerships pass titles around all the time like that.
So if you don’t put insurance can you tow it off the lot once you got title
You’ve gotten all your vehicles with no issues and no problems with wire transfer
I use Zelle its under the max monthly transfer amount and wire transfer if it is over. I've had no issues with either. I've had no issues on the 8 I've picked up over the past year and a half.
I have a dealer license and im trying to figure out how I can do what autobidmaster does 🤙🏼🤔?
If you have a dealers license there is not need for you to use AutoBidMaser. You can get a direct membership with Copart and be able to bid on "Dealer Only" vehicles. I as a non dealer can get a copart membership but I'm limited on which states and additionally which vehicles I can bid on.
@@BootstrapRevival I mean how can people pay me to bid for them
@@oegesauto5619advertise the service. Sign up yourself as a dealer and process the sales.
@oegesauto5619 you gotta setup a similar service like autobidmaster, or get the word around that you can bid for people, have people come to you, bid for them, and make a profit
@@oegesauto5619 , most like Copart has an API that you can use and make a website and people can bid through your site.
Question, whats the best membership to get im seeing they say percentages for the transaction fees. So if I have the advanced membership and purchase a $10,000 car will they really charge me 7%? Help me out man...
I personally bought the premium that charges 4%. I think if you buy more than one car a year it will save you cash.
The fees suck but unfortunately its industry standard. Any auction site or live auction (other than eBay) will charge the buyer a premium. Most live auctions I go to are upwards of 10% - including land and houses....talk about painful.
Those fees charged by copart and passed on to the buyer through the broker. I've had a membership with them (and IAAI) and those fees are their fees to stay in business. The sale price actually goes to the owner (and is what is recorded to the DMV). I like the final price estimator AutoBidMaster has on their website. It keeps me wrangled in on what I buy. If it is a 10k bid I generally factor in 1k in fees.
How’s the shipping process? Any trouble getting your car delivered?
Absolutely zero issues with delivery. I've booked two in state and one from 3 states away. They have all been great.
How do you avoid buying a "clean title" vehicle from them, that then turns out to be a total loss (salvage) when you go to register it at your DMV???
I love this question,. It actually happened to me. Do you mind if I make a video response about my experience?
@@BootstrapRevival yes plllllease 😆
If you minor damage then this won’t happen right?
If that’s the case you go back to Copart and they have to give you your $ back if it’s advertised as a clean title car.
I would say check the carfax
how long did it take for you to get your title
Great question! The last car I bought with them took 8 calendar days from payment. I think of the 6 cars I've bought through them so far they have all been very fast turn arounds. The only exception was when the copart branch forgot to send it out. The title has to go out from the copart branch to Oregon, then to you the buyer.
@@BootstrapRevival that’s crazy because I bought a car from them too and it’s been two months and I haven’t received a title
@@cesarsanchez4386 Wow, that has not been my experience at all. I'd call customer service. I'm sure they can get you squared away. They have always been very helpful when I've called.
I bought a car from them with supposedly a clean title , that's how it was advertised, when I submitted the title to DMV to get it transfer to me, I find out this car has a Total loss , salvage history. So please stay away. They are a Scam.
Been waiting 2 months
They drown you in fees though.
Its jus u have to do your research
Did you have to use their shipping or can you make your own arrangements ?
You do not have to use their shipping. You can pick it up yourself or send a shipper. I have a how to do a copart pickup video. It was me picking up a car I got through AutoBidMaster.
@@BootstrapRevival Thank you
@@BootstrapRevival When you use the transporter app do you first add lot then schedule an appointment or am i missing something?
@@BootstrapRevival that's not always TRUE. I guess some places. Don't allow you to pick it up. I had to pay for shipping an additional $600 to get it.
What is a proxy you mentioned? Due to not having a dealer license
I use autobidmaster.com account. They are a licensed dealer in all 50 states so you can buy any copart auction car through them. You pay AutoBidMaster, pickup or have the vehicle delivered, and AutoBidMaster mails you the title.
Don't buy from neither, they work together and both scammers.
I have purchased 8 vehicles in the past year and a half and I've had no scammy experiences. I got titles on them all.
@BootstrapRevival so what do you recommend we buy cars from?
Abetted bid is scam master nothing else
