Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2017 Chevrolet Cruze worth?

A 2017 Chevrolet Cruze has a median retail value of $7,335, with most appraised between $5,489 and $8,926. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $975 across 437 recent sales — the middle 50% between $600 and $1,550.

Why is the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze so cheap at auction?

For the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze that gap runs about 7.5× — $7,335 retail against a $975 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
