Buy Cars from IAA Auctions
Online – No License Required

To start bidding on auction vehicles, create your free account on Salvagebid, choose a membership, and place a refundable security deposit. Your deposit sets your bidding limit and ensures you’re ready to participate in the real auctions. Next, search our inventory to find your ideal SUV, set your maximum bid, and go for a win.

After winning an auction, you’ll receive an invoice with the total cost of a vehicle, including auction fees. Payments must be made via bank Wire Transfer, Zelle or MoneyGram. It's essential to pay within two business days of winning the vehicle to avoid additional fees.

Preliminary bidding lets you set your maximum offer before the live auction begins, with our system bidding automatically on your behalf. During the live auction, we represent your highest preliminary bid automatically, or you can participate in real-time if your membership allows. Alternatively, the ‘Buy It Now’ option lets you instantly purchase select SUVs at a fixed price without bidding, available to all active Salvagebid account holders.

Complete payment and sign all required documents. After that you’ll receive an email confirming that vehicle is ready for pickup. Vehicles can’t be legally driven until repaired, so we recommend arranging shipping through EasyHaul.com. Use the shipping calculator provided on each listing to estimate costs and book transportation directly after purchase.
