How much is a 2004 Lexus RX330 worth?
A 2004 Lexus RX330 has a median retail value of $3,790, with most appraised between $3,300 and $4,700. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $1,175 across 5 recent sales — the middle 50% between $975 and $1,250.
Why is the 2004 Lexus RX330 so cheap at auction?
