How many miles do Buick Electra cars have when sold at auction?

Half of the 10 verified odometer readings sit above 114,447 mi and half below it.

What should I pay for a salvage Buick Electra?

Work from the median final bid on this page, then adjust for the repair in front of you. A Buick Electra with light front-end damage and keys sits near the top of the sold-price range; a water loss without keys sits at the bottom.

Does the model year change what a Buick Electra sells for at auction?

Usually yes, and not evenly. Open the year links to see where the Buick Electra final-bid curve flattens — that flat stretch is where salvage buying tends to pay best.

Are these final bids what a repaired Buick Electra would sell for?

No. These are auction results for damaged or salvage Buick Electra vehicles — the price at the close of the sale, before transport, fees and repair. Retail value sits well above them.
