Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2002 Subaru Legacy worth?
A 2002 Subaru Legacy has a median retail value of $3,467, with most appraised between $2,910 and $3,697. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $375 across 9 recent sales — the middle 50% between $275 and $475.
Why is the 2002 Subaru Legacy 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 Subaru Legacy that gap runs about 9.2× — $3,467 retail against a $375 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
How accurate is this 2002 Subaru Legacy value estimate?
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.
