Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2009 Scion Tc worth?
A 2009 Scion Tc has a median retail value of $4,491, with most appraised between $2,829 and $5,071. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $550 across 10 recent sales — the middle 50% between $375 and $650.
Why is the 2009 Scion Tc 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 2009 Scion Tc that gap runs about 8.2× — $4,491 retail against a $550 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
How accurate is this 2009 Scion Tc 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.
