Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2012 Lexus Ct worth?

A 2012 Lexus Ct has a median retail value of $6,557, with most appraised between $4,725 and $8,387. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $2,700 across 32 recent sales — the middle 50% between $2,200 and $3,600.

Why is the 2012 Lexus Ct so cheap at auction?

For the 2012 Lexus Ct that gap runs about 2.4× — $6,557 retail against a $2,700 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
