Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2018 Buick Envision worth?

A 2018 Buick Envision has a median retail value of $14,225, with most appraised between $11,408 and $16,551. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $2,650 across 20 recent sales — the middle 50% between $1,500 and $3,200.

Why is the 2018 Buick Envision 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 2018 Buick Envision that gap runs about 5.4× — $14,225 retail against a $2,650 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
