Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2016 Toyota 4runner worth?

A 2016 Toyota 4runner has a median retail value of $20,631, with most appraised between $18,484 and $23,406. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $8,400 across 97 recent sales — the middle 50% between $6,500 and $10,600.

Why is the 2016 Toyota 4runner so cheap at auction?

For the 2016 Toyota 4runner that gap runs about 2.5× — $20,631 retail against a $8,400 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
