Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2022 Toyota Tacoma worth?

A 2022 Toyota Tacoma has a median retail value of $31,131, with most appraised between $26,440 and $34,663. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $12,500 across 140 recent sales — the middle 50% between $9,000 and $15,200.

Why is the 2022 Toyota Tacoma so cheap at auction?

For the 2022 Toyota Tacoma that gap runs about 2.5× — $31,131 retail against a $12,500 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
