How much is a 2013 Buick Encore worth?
A 2013 Buick Encore has a median retail value of $5,681, with most appraised between $2,775 and $7,193. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $850 across 45 recent sales — the middle 50% between $600 and $1,300.
Why is the 2013 Buick Encore so cheap at auction?

For the 2013 Buick Encore that gap runs about 6.7× — $5,681 retail against a $850 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
