Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2009 Nissan Xterra worth?

A 2009 Nissan Xterra has a median retail value of $5,675, with most appraised between $3,113 and $6,936. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $725 across 6 recent sales — the middle 50% between $150 and $900.

Why is the 2009 Nissan Xterra so cheap at auction?

For the 2009 Nissan Xterra that gap runs about 7.8× — $5,675 retail against a $725 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
