IAAI Las Vegas: Fees + Real Local Resale Prices
Win a Honda Civic at $6,300, half its $12,500 median asking price in Las Vegas, and IAAI fees bring it to about $7,114 before tax and transport.
The real cost of an IAAI win in Las Vegas
On a $6,300 winning bid, IAAI adds about $814 in fees (buyer, internet bid, service, environmental and title), and Nevada adds $432 of state sales tax (6.85%) when you register the car — not at IAAI checkout. IAAI's schedule also differs from Copart's in shape: a typical $105 service fee where Copart charges a typical $95 gate fee, and buyer and internet-bid tiers that break at different bids, so which one costs less depends on the lot and your buyer registration. Around Las Vegas, the median used car is listed at $8,995, so that is the resale ceiling your all-in cost has to clear.
| Winning bid | $6,300 |
