Auction archive FAQ
How much auction history is there for Volvo 245?
4 completed Copart and IAAI auctions, with sale dates between Nov 27, 2024 and Oct 7, 2026.

Across 4 recorded USD sales the median final bid is $238, with the average pulled to $831 by the outliers at either end.
What damage do most Volvo 245 auction lots carry?
side leads, on 50% of the auctions — worth knowing before you read the low end of the sold-price range.
What should I pay for a salvage Volvo 245?
Work from the median final bid on this page, then adjust for the repair in front of you. A Volvo 245 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 Volvo 245 sells for at auction?
Usually yes, and not evenly. Open the year links to see where the Volvo 245 final-bid curve flattens — that flat stretch is where salvage buying tends to pay best.
Are these final bids what a repaired Volvo 245 would sell for?
No. These are auction results for damaged or salvage Volvo 245 vehicles — the price at the close of the sale, before transport, fees and repair. Retail value sits well above them.
