CarsBidsHistory describes itself as a free archive of finished Copart and IAAI auctions, so a car’s lot page can stay online for years after the sale. This guide shows how CleanVINUSA takes that page down: the part that is yours (finding the pages and ordering), the part that is ours (the request, the follow-up and the confirmation), and what happens in Google afterwards.
Step 1 — Collect every page that shows your VIN
The checker on this site is the place to start. Enter the VIN and it looks the car up on CarsBidsHistory and shows the page it finds. You can run the same free check on cleanvinusa.com or through our Telegram bot @Cleanvinusa_bot (send /start, then the VIN; the reply takes 30–60 seconds). There is no account to create and no card to enter.
Searching yourself turns up the same pages, and on this site it is worth being thorough:
- The site’s own search. CarsBidsHistory has a “Find by VIN” search and a “Find by Lot” search for Copart and IAAI lot numbers. The lot page address contains the year, make, model, lot number and VIN.
- Google. Put the VIN in quotes, such as
"1HGCM82633A004352"with your own VIN, and look at both the web results and Google Images, where auction photos are often indexed separately. - The lists. When we checked in October 2026, CarsBidsHistory also published “VIN List” and “Lot List” pages and let visitors browse by make and model, and the site came in more than twenty languages. The same VIN can therefore turn up at more than one address.
Note every address you find. They go into the order in Step 3, and you will use them again at the end.
Step 2 — What the takedown covers, and where it stops
When the request succeeds, CarsBidsHistory stops showing the car: the photo gallery, the last bid, the seller, the buyer’s location and the rest of the lot data go with the page. One detail about that price: the site’s own FAQ says its “final bid” is the last recorded bid, which may differ from what the car actually sold for. Either way, the figure leaves with everything else.
The takedown stops at the edge of carsbidshistory.com. Official records — the title brand, NMVTIS, insurance claims and reports such as Carfax or AutoCheck — are kept elsewhere and do not change, and copies of the auction record on other websites are not touched. Making a copied listing less visible is all this does. It is not a way to keep a car’s damage from the next owner, who may still learn it from those records; the seller stays responsible for whatever disclosure the law requires where they live, and we refuse orders we suspect are meant to mislead.
Step 3 — Order with the VIN
Use the checker or the button on this page; checkout runs on cleanvinusa.com. The VIN goes in the order details — that is what ties the request to your car. Paste in the addresses you collected as well, list pages and language versions included, so nothing is missed. Removal from CarsBidsHistory costs $60, and you can pay by card, PayPal or USDT.
Step 4 — What we do once the order is in
From here the work is on our side:
- we send the removal request to CarsBidsHistory for your car’s page, with its photos, price and lot details;
- we follow it up until the car no longer appears on carsbidshistory.com — the order covers the site as a whole, not one language version;
- we confirm when the pages have been processed.
The promised time is 12–24 hours. During Google updates or technical problems on the servers, allow 1–2 days more. We process orders 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and if CarsBidsHistory wants proof of ownership before it acts, we tell you what is needed.
Step 5 — Let Google catch up
Google keeps the old title, snippet and thumbnails until it recrawls the address. Once the page is gone, we ask Google to drop the old result for every eligible link; Google usually catches up 1–2 days after the removal. Clearing Google Search and Google Images is still Google’s decision, so we do not promise the outcome there: cached previews and copies of the photos can linger for a short time, and nobody controls Google’s exact timing.
Step 6 — Check the outcome and keep the record
After our confirmation, open the old addresses: none should show your car. Search the VIN with the site’s “Find by VIN” box, then in Google a few days later, in web results and in Images. If the car still shows somewhere on the site after 12–24 hours — on a list page, say — send us that address.
Keep the confirmation with your list of addresses. The removed page stays gone, but a new listing for the same car or a repost on another website is a new case and a new order. Other sites copy Copart and IAAI records independently, so run the free check again before you sell the car.
