Auction archive FAQ

How much auction history is there for Buick Electra?

81 completed Copart and IAAI auctions, with sale dates between Aug 7, 2019 and Sep 22, 2026.

What is the average final bid for Buick Electra at auction?

Across 73 recorded USD sales the median final bid is $700, with the average pulled to $1,845 by the outliers at either end.

What damage do most Buick Electra auction lots carry?

front end leads, on 19% of the auctions — worth knowing before you read the low end of the sold-price range.

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.
