Wrecked 2004 Lexus ES questions

How much is a wrecked 2004 Lexus ES worth?

Most sold for $250 to $475 at US auctions over the last 6 months, with a median of $375 across 95 sales. Where yours lands depends on the damage, whether it runs, mileage and title.

Does it matter if my 2004 Lexus ES still runs?

Yes. 81% of the ones sold still ran and drove. Runners with light damage sell toward the top of the range; non-runners, flood and fire cars sell toward the bottom.

Should I part out my wrecked 2004 Lexus ES or sell it whole?

At a median of $375, selling whole usually wins: parting out takes months, and fees and the leftover shell eat most of the difference.

Can I sell a 2004 Lexus ES with a salvage title?

Yes. Buyers of damaged cars handle salvage titles every day and price the brand in. A missing title narrows the pool of buyers more than a salvage brand does, and state rules decide who can buy a car without one.
