How much is a 2021 Subaru Wrx worth?

A 2021 Subaru Wrx has a median retail value of $22,902, with most appraised between $19,128 and $31,591. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $3,975 across 15 recent sales — the middle 50% between $2,250 and $6,550.

Why is the 2021 Subaru Wrx so cheap at auction?
