How much is a 2012 Volkswagen Routan worth?
A 2012 Volkswagen Routan has a median retail value of $4,401, with most appraised between $1,825 and $6,127. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $450 across 20 recent sales — the middle 50% between $325 and $1,000.
Why is the 2012 Volkswagen Routan so cheap at auction?

For the 2012 Volkswagen Routan that gap runs about 9.8× — $4,401 retail against a $450 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
