Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2012 Scion Iq worth?
A 2012 Scion Iq has a median retail value of $4,777, with most appraised between $2,675 and $5,557. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $500 across 9 recent sales — the middle 50% between $375 and $650.
Why is the 2012 Scion Iq so cheap at auction?

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.
