Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Se worth?

A 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Se has a median retail value of $26,990, with most appraised between $26,777 and $29,017. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $6,700 across 5 recent sales — the middle 50% between $5,449 and $7,000.

Why is the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Se so cheap at auction?
