Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2013 Nissan Maxima worth?

A 2013 Nissan Maxima has a median retail value of $4,991, with most appraised between $2,555 and $6,458. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $550 across 59 recent sales — the middle 50% between $400 and $900.

Why is the 2013 Nissan Maxima so cheap at auction?

Because auction lots are not retail cars. Most carry collision or flood damage, a salvage or rebuilt title, or are dealer-only liquidations sold as-is with no warranty. For the 2013 Nissan Maxima that gap runs about 9.1× — $4,991 retail against a $550 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.

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.
