IAAI Orlando: Fees + Real Local Resale Prices
Win a Toyota Corolla at $4,800, half its $9,500 median asking price in Orlando, and IAAI fees bring it to about $5,408 before tax and transport.
The real cost of an IAAI win in Orlando
On a $4,800 winning bid, IAAI adds about $608 in fees (buyer, internet bid, service, environmental and title), and Florida adds $288 of state sales tax (6.00%) when you register the car — not at IAAI checkout. IAAI's schedule also differs from Copart's in shape: a typical $79 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 Orlando, the median used car is listed at $7,950, so that is the resale ceiling your all-in cost has to clear.
| Winning bid | $4,800 |

What actually sells in Orlando
2,147 used cars are listed for sale around Orlando right now, at a median asking price of $7,950.
Most IAAI lots are insurance total losses, so the car you win usually carries a salvage brand, and a salvage title generally sells 30–50% below a comparable clean-title car. That turns Orlando's busiest models into a narrower band: a Hyundai Elantra exits around $2,950–$4,130 branded, a Ford F-150 around $7,000–$9,799, before repairs.
| Model | Clean-title median | Salvage-title exit |
|---|---|---|
| Toyota Corolla | $9,500 | $4,750–$6,650 |
| Honda Civic | $9,799 | $4,900–$6,859 |

Set your max bid before the lane
Work backwards from what the car sells for here. At that $4,800 bid, IAAI fees and FL state sales tax already take the Toyota Corolla to 60% of its Orlando median, before transport from the yard, repairs and your margin. What the median leaves after those is your ceiling, not your target.
