Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2016 Scion FR-S worth?
A 2016 Scion FR-S has a median retail value of $12,638, with most appraised between $12,153 and $12,754. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $2,300 across 8 recent sales — the middle 50% between $1,075 and $2,600.
Why is the 2016 Scion FR-S 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 2016 Scion FR-S that gap runs about 5.5× — $12,638 retail against a $2,300 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
How accurate is this 2016 Scion FR-S value estimate?
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.
