Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2017 Lincoln Continental worth?

A 2017 Lincoln Continental has a median retail value of $14,180, with most appraised between $10,610 and $18,965. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $3,500 across 25 recent sales — the middle 50% between $2,100 and $4,500.

Why is the 2017 Lincoln Continental 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 2017 Lincoln Continental that gap runs about 4.1× — $14,180 retail against a $3,500 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
