Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2002 Buick Lesabre worth?
A 2002 Buick Lesabre has a median retail value of $2,974, with most appraised between $1,723 and $4,042. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $375 across 16 recent sales — the middle 50% between $300 and $550.
Why is the 2002 Buick Lesabre so cheap at auction?

For the 2002 Buick Lesabre that gap runs about 7.9× — $2,974 retail against a $375 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.

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.
