For used-car dealers who buy at auction

Know your max bid before the hammer falls.

DealerMaxBid reads the Copart or IAA lot you're looking at, prices the repairs, finds retail comps for the exact model and trim, and tells you the most you can pay and still hit your return.

Most auction losses come from three blind spots.

01

Comps for the wrong truck

An XL isn't a Limited, and a MAX isn't a regular Expedition. DealerMaxBid matches comps by model, body length, generation and trim level, and tells you when it had to widen the search.

02

Costs you forgot to count

Buyer fees on the real schedule, transport from the yard to your ZIP, parts and labor from the photos, recon, title, a missing key, a car that might not start. Every one is a line on the sheet.

03

Bidding on a feeling

A deal score out of 100 shows why a car is a buy or a pass, part by part, and what's holding it back. Your buyers bid on the same numbers you do.

Capped at 64: comps were widened past trim and year, so the retail value isn't reliable enough for a Buy rating.

A deal sheet your whole team can read

Every appraisal produces a three-page PDF: the decision on page one, the score and checks on page two, the comps, history and repairs on page three. Send it to a partner or a lender, or print it for the yard.

  • Your dealership's logo on internal sheets
  • A clean shareable version without internal notes
  • The same numbers as the app, always

How we work

Your browser, your account

The extension only reads the page you have open. We never log in as you or crawl auction sites.

Never bids for you

DealerMaxBid gives you the number. You place every bid yourself.

No invented numbers

If a value is unknown, the sheet says unknown and lowers the score. It never fills the gap with a guess.

Your data stays yours

Each dealership's deals, settings and history reports are private to that dealership.
