Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2022 Land Rover Defender worth?
A 2022 Land Rover Defender has a median retail value of $47,649, with most appraised between $39,825 and $51,309. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $30,750 across 6 recent sales — the middle 50% between $25,250 and $34,250.
Why is the 2022 Land Rover Defender 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 Land Rover Defender that gap runs about 1.5× — $47,649 retail against a $30,750 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.

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.
