How much is a 2008 Cadillac Cts worth?
A 2008 Cadillac Cts has a median retail value of $4,710, with most appraised between $3,725 and $5,560. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $400 across 42 recent sales — the middle 50% between $300 and $600.
Why is the 2008 Cadillac Cts so cheap at auction?
