How much is a 2008 Lexus GS 350 worth?
A 2008 Lexus GS 350 has a median retail value of $5,811, with most appraised between $3,125 and $6,769. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $600 across 7 recent sales — the middle 50% between $450 and $775.
Why is the 2008 Lexus GS 350 so cheap at auction?
