A 2000 Toyota Celica has a median retail value of $5,995, with most appraised between $3,390 and $6,958. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $500 across 10 recent sales — the middle 50% between $200 and $650.

Why is the 2000 Toyota Celica so cheap at auction?

For the 2000 Toyota Celica that gap runs about 12.0× — $5,995 retail against a $500 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
