Auction archive FAQ

How much auction history is there for Buick Special?

24 completed Copart and IAAI auctions, with sale dates between Apr 21, 2020 and Oct 7, 2026.

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

Across 23 recorded USD sales the median final bid is $4,250, with the average pulled to $5,177 by the outliers at either end.

What damage do most Buick Special auction lots carry?

rear end leads, on 21% of the auctions — worth knowing before you read the low end of the sold-price range.

What should I pay for a salvage Buick Special?

Work from the median final bid on this page, then adjust for the repair in front of you. A Buick Special 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 Special sells for at auction?

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

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

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