Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse worth?
A 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse has a median retail value of $3,764, with most appraised between $3,101 and $5,157. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $475 across 12 recent sales — the middle 50% between $375 and $625.
Why is the 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse so cheap at auction?
Because auction lots are not retail cars. Most carry collision or flood damage, a salvage or rebuilt title, or are dealer-only liquidations sold as-is with no warranty. For the 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse that gap runs about 7.9× — $3,764 retail against a $475 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
How accurate is this 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse value estimate?
Prices reflect live Copart and IAAI sale data from the last 180 days. They are most useful for: gauging salvage rebuild margins, comparing private-party asking prices to the auction floor, and spotting overpriced dealer listings. For a clean-title retail estimate use the depreciation calculator.
