A bid is only
part of the cost.

In the app, listing details come from available auction records. Fees, transport, repairs, and risk reserves are estimates or buyer inputs. In this calculator, every starting value is hypothetical.

LOTPULSE / COST CALCULATORHYPOTHETICAL INPUTS
ILLUSTRATIVE TOTAL COST$22,700

All-in cost adds the bid, fees, transport, repairs, and risk reserve. Edit the inputs to see the total update.

Enter whole-dollar amounts from $0 to $100 million. The calculator runs on this page. Actual fees, repairs, and resale values depend on the vehicle and market.

A / SEARCH⌕

Find relevant listings

Search by VIN, make, model, or lot ID, then review opportunities within a chosen buying lane.

B / VALUE↗

See the cost stack

Keep bid, auction fees, transportation, repairs, and risk reserve visible as separate inputs.

C / RISK◉

Spot what is uncertain

Listing freshness, risk indicators, and missing information stay on the decision path.

D / EVIDENCE▤

Follow the market context

The planned bid tools use available sold-comparable evidence alongside estimates and modeled costs.

Fix it. Part it out.
Or pass.

Compare a repair-and-resale plan with parting the vehicle out—or decide to pass. These are examples of paths a buyer can consider. The planned Pro tools would compare supported strategies when enough evidence is available.

with context.

Use the cost breakdown alongside the listing and an independent inspection.

Does LotPulse guarantee a profit?

No. LotPulse provides decision support. Results depend on the listing, costs, repairs, and market conditions.

Does it replace an inspection?

No. Photos and listing details can help you decide what to investigate, but they cannot replace an independent inspection.

Is LotPulse available?

Registration for the free private beta is available on LotPulse. Inventory varies by region and listing availability. If inventory is unavailable, you can still try the sample calculator on this page.

What happens when required data is missing?

The product marks missing required information instead of guessing.

What comes with Free.
