any way to see how much a car went for on copart??

[karatemaserati]

it just says 'lot sold' but it doesn't give the final price.

[Davie]

Nope.

Have you tried calling the selling facility and asking?

[karatemaserati]

The only possible way I know is to go to the Wayback Machine, aka the Internet Archive

https://archive.org/web/

You put the address of the web page with the car ad into it, and see if they have any history for that page. If so, you may be able to view the original version of the page, with the price.

I've not tried with Copart, but I did succeed in finding out the asking price a car had been advertised at on a dealer webpage, where the current version of the page just said 'sold'.

Edit - Wayback Machine doesn't appear to cover Copart I'm afraid. Google cache has an old version of the page which appears to suggest that it reached £36,750 at 9:27am this morning, but of course it may have gone higher subsequently.

autoauctions.io, it does cost money to view for each car though.

On further investigation, the page loads data from the following URL https://www.copart.co.uk/public/data/lotdetails/so... . Looking through the JSON data at that link, there is a field called "currentBid" with a value of 38750. So I guess that was the highest, and presumably winning, bid.

Edit - the full number plate, KX12BCU, is also in that JSON (so can check MOT history etc).

What steps are needed to get the JSON? Googling looks like Python needed?

Take that previous posted example and replace the lot number with the number from the URL of the car you want to look up

Aah, excellent - thanks. Have they subsequently removed the numberplate from it? Can't seem to see it for the Aston or anything else I look up?

if you bid, it shows up. possibly also if you're logged in (as a member)
