Vehicle Start Codes
Buyers want to know whether a vehicle starts and drives before making a bid or buying. When a vehicle enters branch inventory, IAA assigns start codes to help buyers make the right choice in the auction process.
Run & Drive
Upon arrival at our IAA branch, the vehicle motor started (either with or without a jump) and idled, both the forward and reverse gears engaged, and the steering wheel made one full rotation in each direction. These functions are not guaranteed at pickup, and the vehicle may not be roadworthy.
Starts
Indicates that, upon arrival at our IAA branch, the vehicle motor started (either with or without a jump) and idled when it reached the branch. The vehicle may not start, drive or move forward at time of pickup, and the vehicle may not be roadworthy.
Stationary
Upon arrival at our IAA branch, the vehicle will not start, has engine damage, or was not tested upon arrival. The vehicle may not start, drive or move forward at the time of pickup.

*For more information, please see our Auction Rules, which control and supersede anything on this page to the contrary. Note that status is determined at the time the vehicle arrives at the IAA branch. It is not a representation or warranty that it will do so any time thereafter or that the vehicle is roadworthy. All vehicles sold through IAA’s auctions are sold “as is, where is,” with no warranty, expressed or implied, including but not limited to any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability. </small>
