Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2023 Buick Encore worth?
A 2023 Buick Encore has a median retail value of $19,363, with most appraised between $16,747 and $21,345. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $4,150 across 18 recent sales — the middle 50% between $2,900 and $5,200.
Why is the 2023 Buick Encore so cheap at auction?

For the 2023 Buick Encore that gap runs about 4.7× — $19,363 retail against a $4,150 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
