Auction archive FAQ
How much auction history is there for Pontiac Tempest?
9 completed Copart and IAAI auctions, with sale dates between Oct 28, 2024 and Aug 21, 2026.
What is the average final bid for Pontiac Tempest at auction?
Across 8 recorded USD sales the median final bid is $750, with the average pulled to $2,156 by the outliers at either end.
What damage do most Pontiac Tempest auction lots carry?
front end leads, on 33% of the auctions — worth knowing before you read the low end of the sold-price range.
What should I pay for a salvage Pontiac Tempest?
Work from the median final bid on this page, then adjust for the repair in front of you. A Pontiac Tempest 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 Pontiac Tempest sells for at auction?
Usually yes, and not evenly. Open the year links to see where the Pontiac Tempest final-bid curve flattens — that flat stretch is where salvage buying tends to pay best.
Are these final bids what a repaired Pontiac Tempest would sell for?
No. These are auction results for damaged or salvage Pontiac Tempest vehicles — the price at the close of the sale, before transport, fees and repair. Retail value sits well above them.
