Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2016 Cadillac Cts worth?

A 2016 Cadillac Cts has a median retail value of $11,725, with most appraised between $9,626 and $13,242. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $2,300 across 37 recent sales — the middle 50% between $1,300 and $3,100.

Why is the 2016 Cadillac Cts so cheap at auction?

For the 2016 Cadillac Cts that gap runs about 5.1× — $11,725 retail against a $2,300 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
