Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2006 Hummer H3 worth?

A 2006 Hummer H3 has a median retail value of $5,245, with most appraised between $3,125 and $7,625. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $1,000 across 45 recent sales — the middle 50% between $675 and $1,500.

Why is the 2006 Hummer H3 so cheap at auction?

For the 2006 Hummer H3 that gap runs about 5.2× — $5,245 retail against a $1,000 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
