Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2018 Lexus Rx worth?

A 2018 Lexus Rx has a median retail value of $25,124, with most appraised between $21,518 and $27,761. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $10,750 across 53 recent sales — the middle 50% between $8,700 and $13,100.

Why is the 2018 Lexus Rx so cheap at auction?

For the 2018 Lexus Rx that gap runs about 2.3× — $25,124 retail against a $10,750 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
