How much is a 2008 Buick Enclave worth?
A 2008 Buick Enclave has a median retail value of $3,471, with most appraised between $3,179 and $4,997. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $425 across 21 recent sales — the middle 50% between $325 and $1,000.
Why is the 2008 Buick Enclave so cheap at auction?

For the 2008 Buick Enclave that gap runs about 8.2× — $3,471 retail against a $425 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
