Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 worth?
A 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has a median retail value of $6,366, with most appraised between $3,875 and $7,748. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $925 across 47 recent sales — the middle 50% between $675 and $1,800.
Why is the 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 so cheap at auction?

For the 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 that gap runs about 6.9× — $6,366 retail against a $925 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
