Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2018 Cadillac Cts worth?
A 2018 Cadillac Cts has a median retail value of $15,420, with most appraised between $13,879 and $17,085. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $2,450 across 16 recent sales — the middle 50% between $1,400 and $4,500.
Why is the 2018 Cadillac Cts so cheap at auction?

For the 2018 Cadillac Cts that gap runs about 6.3× — $15,420 retail against a $2,450 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
