A 2006 Chevrolet Equinox has a median retail value of $2,670, with most appraised between $650 and $3,688. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $300 across 15 recent sales — the middle 50% between $225 and $375.

Why is the 2006 Chevrolet Equinox so cheap at auction?
