How much is a 2002 Saturn Sl worth?
A 2002 Saturn Sl has a median retail value of $991, with most appraised between $625 and $3,067. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $175 across 8 recent sales — the middle 50% between $150 and $550.
Why is the 2002 Saturn Sl so cheap at auction?

For the 2002 Saturn Sl that gap runs about 5.7× — $991 retail against a $175 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
How accurate is this 2002 Saturn Sl value estimate?
