Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2006 Toyota 4runner worth?

A 2006 Toyota 4runner has a median retail value of $6,760, with most appraised between $5,525 and $8,546. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $3,200 across 96 recent sales — the middle 50% between $2,350 and $4,450.

Why is the 2006 Toyota 4runner so cheap at auction?

For the 2006 Toyota 4runner that gap runs about 2.1× — $6,760 retail against a $3,200 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
