How much is a 2004 Volvo S60 worth?
A 2004 Volvo S60 has a median retail value of $3,503, with most appraised between $3,236 and $4,169. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $350 across 9 recent sales — the middle 50% between $275 and $450.
Why is the 2004 Volvo S60 so cheap at auction?
