Frequently asked questions
How much is a 1997 Toyota T100 worth?
A 1997 Toyota T100 has a median retail value of $8,113, with most appraised between $1,250 and $8,250. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $1,395 across 7 recent sales — the middle 50% between $925 and $3,500.
Why is the 1997 Toyota T100 so cheap at auction?

For the 1997 Toyota T100 that gap runs about 5.8× — $8,113 retail against a $1,395 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
