# Vehicle Search and Purchase

Campo Brokers includes a **vehicle search tool** for Copart and IAAI and a **lot page** with built-in calculators so you can estimate the real cost before bidding.

## Search for vehicles

Go to the search tool at [campobroker.com/buscar](https://campobroker.com/buscar/). You can filter by:

- **Make** and **model** (up to 3 models).
- **Year range** (from / to).
- **Damage type**.
- **State / location** (U.S.).
- **Auction source**: Copart or IAAI.
- **VIN prefix**.

Sort results by recommended, auction date, pre-bid price, "Buy It Now" price, year, or odometer, and switch the sort direction. Results show **24 vehicles per page**, with dynamic navigation (no page reloads). Each card shows the photo, title, VIN, location, odometer, damage, title type, lot number, seller, sale date/status, and price (final bid or "Buy It Now").

## View a lot's details

Click **View lot** on a card to open the vehicle's page (`/lot/{lot-number}`), which includes:

- **Photo gallery** with an expandable viewer (lightbox).
- **Vehicle data**: title, VIN (with a copy button), source (link to Copart/IAAI), location, odometer, and sale date/status.
- **Sale history** for the VIN (previous appearances with dates, prices, and odometer).
- **Similar vehicles**.
- **Reserve price badge** (when available, usually with CampoBrokerBot Premium).

### Calculators inside the lot page

The lot page includes three calculators (estimates in USD):

1. **Auction**: enter the bid amount, choose the title type (Salvage/Clean), and turn on preferential rates to see the fee breakdown and the total.
2. **DR Customs**: select make/model/country/year/specs to see the customs (DGA) and registration (DGII) totals for the Dominican Republic.
3. **Towing**: enter the origin, destination, and the vehicle's condition to estimate the transport cost.

More detail on each one in [Calculators](#calculadoras).

## Bidding or "Buy It Now"

- To **bid**, use your assigned auction account (the **Auction Accounts** section of the dashboard) and/or use **CampoBrokerBot** while browsing Copart/IAAI.
- If the lot has a **"Buy It Now"** price, the button takes you to your dashboard to continue the process.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> You are the one browsing, adding to your watchlist, bidding, and deciding. Always follow Copart and IAAI's rules, fees, and deadlines. Before bidding, check the title type, photos, damage, fees, towing costs, taxes, and your country's requirements. See [Glossary](#glosario).

## What happens after you win

If you win a vehicle, follow the [Payment and Reconciliation (Pre-Alert)](#pago-conciliacion) flow: complete the Pre-Alert, pay the **purchase fee of US$289 per vehicle (first 10 vehicles; US$300 from the 11th onward)**, review the auction invoice, and pay on time. Copart/IAAI deadlines are strict; delays can lead to storage fees, penalties, or account suspension.
