Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2022 Hyundai Sonata worth?
A 2022 Hyundai Sonata has a median retail value of $17,364, with most appraised between $15,650 and $19,204. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $4,250 across 101 recent sales — the middle 50% between $3,050 and $6,100.
Why is the 2022 Hyundai Sonata 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 2022 Hyundai Sonata that gap runs about 4.1× — $17,364 retail against a $4,250 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
How accurate is this 2022 Hyundai Sonata 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.
