Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2016 Volvo S60 worth?

A 2016 Volvo S60 has a median retail value of $8,996, with most appraised between $6,727 and $11,119. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $1,075 across 25 recent sales — the middle 50% between $725 and $2,150.

Why is the 2016 Volvo S60 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 Volvo S60 that gap runs about 8.4× — $8,996 retail against a $1,075 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
