How much is a 2005 Acura Rl worth?
A 2005 Acura Rl has a median retail value of $3,979, with most appraised between $2,566 and $4,549. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $300 across 9 recent sales — the middle 50% between $275 and $400.
Why is the 2005 Acura Rl so cheap at auction?
