How much is a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox worth?

A 2010 Chevrolet Equinox has a median retail value of $3,449, with most appraised between $1,575 and $4,998. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $450 across 94 recent sales — the middle 50% between $350 and $725.

Why is the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox so cheap at auction?

For the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox that gap runs about 7.7× — $3,449 retail against a $450 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
