Copart and IAAI auctions sell vehicles "as-is, where-is" — without condition guarantees. That's why IAAI provides 8–25 photos, and USDiscovery offers a pre-bid inspection. After winning the auction, a return is not possible based on description mismatch. We share every inspection report with you before you place an offer.
Registration depends on the US title type: this vehicle has "Salvage (Oregon)". Vehicles with "Total Burn" damage typically require body/paint repair and a passing Polish technical inspection (SKP). After repair and EU customs clearance, registration in Poland is possible. Contact us to confirm the registration path for this specific title and damage.
