Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2012 Toyota Venza worth?

A 2012 Toyota Venza has a median retail value of $8,363, with most appraised between $5,075 and $10,367. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $3,075 across 33 recent sales — the middle 50% between $2,600 and $3,725.

Why is the 2012 Toyota Venza so cheap at auction?

For the 2012 Toyota Venza that gap runs about 2.7× — $8,363 retail against a $3,075 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
