How much is a 2023 Subaru Wrx worth?

A 2023 Subaru Wrx has a median retail value of $25,939, with most appraised between $23,663 and $28,186. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $7,200 across 23 recent sales — the middle 50% between $6,000 and $9,300.

Why is the 2023 Subaru Wrx so cheap at auction?
