Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IAAI auction history report?
A historical record of every time a specific vehicle (by VIN) was listed at an IAAI (Insurance Auto Auctions) sale. It includes stock number, branch, sale date, loss type, run condition, odometer reading, title type and photos when available.
How do I look up an IAAI stock number by VIN?
Paste the VIN into autoVIN and choose the IAAI report option. If the vehicle ever passed through IAAI we return the stock number, branch and listing details. Active lots still up for bid require an IAAI buyer account on iaai.com.
What does 'Runs & Drives' mean at IAAI?
'Runs & Drives' is IAAI's note that the vehicle started, moved forward and reverse, and stopped under its own power at the time of inspection. 'Engine Start Program' means it started but was not driven. Neither is a warranty of present condition.
Can I get IAAI photos by VIN?
When the IAAI listing included photos and they remain in the historical record, yes. Older sales may have had their images purged. Some lots include only thumbnail-resolution photos in the historical record; others include the full inspection set.
What loss types appear in IAAI history?
Common loss types include collision (front/rear/side), theft recovery, water/flood, vandalism, hail, fire/burn, mechanical and 'all-over'. The loss type is the fastest way to triage whether the vehicle is a candidate for your rebuild or export plan.
How is IAAI different from Copart?
Both are major US salvage auctions. Copart sells more vehicles by volume; IAAI typically handles more insurance-loss vehicles and offers a different set of dealer tools. Many vehicles appear at only one of the two — checking both auction histories is the safest strategy.
Does IAAI history show the title type at sale?
Yes — the title type at the time of the auction is recorded (clean, salvage, rebuilt, junk, certificate of destruction, parts only). For the current title status you must verify with the issuing DMV or your local equivalent.
Should I bundle IAAI with CARFAX or Copart?
Yes for any serious bid. IAAI shows insurance-side context; Copart adds the other major US salvage source; CARFAX/AutoCheck add DMV, accident and service records over the vehicle's full life. Bundling at checkout is significantly cheaper than buying separately.
