Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2018 Ford Focus St worth?
A 2018 Ford Focus St has a median retail value of $13,395, with most appraised between $12,703 and $14,127. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $2,100 across 11 recent sales — the middle 50% between $1,300 and $2,600.
Why is the 2018 Ford Focus St so cheap at auction?

For the 2018 Ford Focus St that gap runs about 6.4× — $13,395 retail against a $2,100 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
