Important Legal Disclaimers

Title Condition: Due to variations in applicable laws, a vehicle listed as "clean" or "clear" may have a salvage, junk, or other history. Regardless of the listing description, the title may become branded (salvage/reconstructed) upon registration in your state. You accept all risks associated with title variations.
Processing Times: You may receive a title different from the one listed. Processing times may take 5-7 weeks. Vehicles titled as "Certificates of Destruction," "Junk," or "Non-Repairable" cannot be retitled and are for parts/scrap only. Exporting such vehicles requires contacting our Buyer Services Center prior to sale and incurs additional fees (2-6 weeks processing).
Registration: Vehicles are not guaranteed to be legally registered in any specific jurisdiction. It is your sole responsibility to verify registration eligibility in your state prior to bidding.
Business Identity: Special Team Auto is a membership-based marketplace providing access to inventory operated by Copart. We do not operate the auctions or own the vehicles. We are an independent third-party broker.
Account Policies: Any deposit kept over one year will incur an automatic $200.00 membership fee to keep the account active. Vehicles not picked up within 10 days may be resold on your behalf; auction and Special Team Auto fees will be deducted.
