Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid worth?
A 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid has a median retail value of $28,200, with most appraised between $26,459 and $29,587. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $19,500 across 6 recent sales — the middle 50% between $17,000 and $22,000.
Why is the 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid so cheap at auction?

For the 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid that gap runs about 1.4× — $28,200 retail against a $19,500 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
