How much is a 2012 Dodge Journey worth?

A 2012 Dodge Journey has a median retail value of $4,253, with most appraised between $1,725 and $5,191. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $600 across 63 recent sales — the middle 50% between $325 and $850.

Why is the 2012 Dodge Journey so cheap at auction?

For the 2012 Dodge Journey that gap runs about 7.1× — $4,253 retail against a $600 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
