autoAstat Review — Salvage Auction Statistics.
autoAstat publishes weekly statistics on Copart and IAAI salvage auctions: trends, prices and warnings about auction scams. That is useful for pricing a car. It is not the history of the specific car you are about to buy. Here is the difference, and how to check both.

- Coverage. The digest names Copart and IAAI; we did not verify more.
Market Statistics vs One Car's History
A statistic tells you that damaged cars of a certain model sold for a certain range last week. That helps you decide what to bid or whether a repaired car's retail price makes sense.
A history tells you about one VIN: whether it was branded, whether an insurer wrote it off, whether it passed through auctions before. Two cars can sit in the same statistic and have very different histories.
