In calculating the ERV, the Seller is estimating the likely value of the vehicle immediately before it was damaged. For Category U vehicles the ERV will be an estimate of the likely retail value of that vehicle. The Seller is providing you with the ERV for your guidance only; it is not verified as being accurate and is an estimate only. Copart is making the Seller’s ERV available to you for you to consider and validate as you deem appropriate but makes no representations as to the validity or accuracy of the ERV and accepts no responsibility for any loss that you suffer from relying on it.

Repair Cost is the estimated cost to repair the vehicle as submitted to Copart by the seller of the vehicle. The Repair Cost listed here may vary greatly from the actual cost to repair this vehicle. The availability and use of recycled parts, varying labour rates, paint times, etc. greatly affect the cost to repair any vehicle. Copart recommends that each Member evaluates the damage to determine the extent of the repairs necessary. This number is presented for informational purposes only. Copart makes no representations as to the validity or accuracy of the listed value.
