Salvage VIN Analyzer helps people who import damaged cars from Copart and IAAI see the real cost before they bid. Paste a VIN, add a few auction photos, and enter the car price without fees. The app checks the VIN, decodes the car’s trim, equipment and edition, and reads the photos to describe the damage and mileage. It adds auction fees, shipping, customs duty and VAT, then estimates repairs line by line with original and non-original parts, with links to find each part. Finally, it compares the full road-ready cost with Autoplius and Mobile.de retail prices and similar versions of the car, suggests an asking price, and shows the highest bid that still reaches a target profit. Fee math is calculated in the app; VIN decoding, damage and prices are AI estimates. I built it solo from my own reselling experience, with Claude as my AI coding assistant.
