Frequently asked questions
How much is a 1999 Toyota Tacoma worth?
A 1999 Toyota Tacoma has a median retail value of $4,718, with most appraised between $2,900 and $8,055. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $2,100 across 30 recent sales — the middle 50% between $1,050 and $2,700.
Why is the 1999 Toyota Tacoma so cheap at auction?

For the 1999 Toyota Tacoma that gap runs about 2.2× — $4,718 retail against a $2,100 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
