Frequently asked questions
How much is a 1998 Chevrolet Blazer worth?
A 1998 Chevrolet Blazer has a median retail value of $3,070, with most appraised between $750 and $4,123. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $400 across 11 recent sales — the middle 50% between $225 and $575.
Why is the 1998 Chevrolet Blazer so cheap at auction?
Because auction lots are not retail cars. Most carry collision or flood damage, a salvage or rebuilt title, or are dealer-only liquidations sold as-is with no warranty. For the 1998 Chevrolet Blazer that gap runs about 7.7× — $3,070 retail against a $400 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
How accurate is this 1998 Chevrolet Blazer value estimate?
Prices reflect live Copart and IAAI sale data from the last 180 days. They are most useful for: gauging salvage rebuild margins, comparing private-party asking prices to the auction floor, and spotting overpriced dealer listings. For a clean-title retail estimate use the depreciation calculator.
