What is the average final bid for Datsun 720 at auction?

Across 38 recorded USD sales the median final bid is $475, with the average pulled to $627 by the outliers at either end.

What damage do most Datsun 720 auction lots carry?

How many miles do Datsun 720 cars have when sold at auction?

Half of the 14 verified odometer readings sit above 139,647 mi and half below it.

What should I pay for a salvage Datsun 720?

Work from the median final bid on this page, then adjust for the repair in front of you. A Datsun 720 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 Datsun 720 sells for at auction?

Usually yes, and not evenly. Open the year links to see where the Datsun 720 final-bid curve flattens — that flat stretch is where salvage buying tends to pay best.

Are these final bids what a repaired Datsun 720 would sell for?

No. These are auction results for damaged or salvage Datsun 720 vehicles — the price at the close of the sale, before transport, fees and repair. Retail value sits well above them.
