Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2004 GMC Canyon worth?
A 2004 GMC Canyon has a median retail value of $4,770, with most appraised between $2,100 and $6,562. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $1,050 across 9 recent sales — the middle 50% between $425 and $1,450.
Why is the 2004 GMC Canyon so cheap at auction?

For the 2004 GMC Canyon that gap runs about 4.5× — $4,770 retail against a $1,050 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.
