How much is a 2008 GMC Canyon worth?
A 2008 GMC Canyon has a median retail value of $4,666, with most appraised between $2,425 and $7,161. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $750 across 19 recent sales — the middle 50% between $425 and $1,700.
Why is the 2008 GMC Canyon so cheap at auction?

For the 2008 GMC Canyon that gap runs about 6.2× — $4,666 retail against a $750 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
