Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2002 Lincoln Ls worth?
A 2002 Lincoln Ls has a median retail value of $2,677, with most appraised between $850 and $3,364. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $300 across 5 recent sales — the middle 50% between $300 and $600.
Why is the 2002 Lincoln Ls 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 2002 Lincoln Ls that gap runs about 8.9× — $2,677 retail against a $300 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
