Copart Miami: Fees + Real Local Resale Prices
Win a Chevrolet Equinox at $3,000, half its $5,999 median asking price in Miami, and Copart fees bring it to about $3,809 before tax and transport.
The real cost of a Copart win in Miami
On a $3,000 winning bid, Copart adds about $809 in fees (buyer, internet bid, gate, environmental and title), and Florida adds $180 of state sales tax (6.00%) when you register the car — not at Copart checkout. Around Miami, the median used car is listed at $6,500, so that is the resale ceiling your all-in cost has to clear.

Work backwards from what the car sells for here. At that $3,000 bid, Copart fees and FL state sales tax already take the Chevrolet Equinox to 66% of its Miami median, before transport from the yard, repairs and your margin. What the median leaves after those is your ceiling, not your target.
