Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2018 Chevrolet Impala worth?

A 2018 Chevrolet Impala has a median retail value of $10,227, with most appraised between $7,598 and $11,486. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $1,350 across 131 recent sales — the middle 50% between $975 and $2,250.

Why is the 2018 Chevrolet Impala 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 Chevrolet Impala that gap runs about 7.6× — $10,227 retail against a $1,350 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.

How accurate is this 2018 Chevrolet Impala value estimate?

Prices reflect live Copart and IAAI sale data from the last 180 days. They are most useful for: gauging salvage rebuild margins, comparing private-party asking prices to the auction floor, and spotting overpriced dealer listings. For a clean-title retail estimate use the depreciation calculator.
