The 2016 Chevrolet Traverse auction market at a glance

The middle half of sales ran from $200 to $700, a 3.5x spread, so the damage on the car matters far more than the badge.

74% still ran and drove when sold; most were lightly or moderately damaged, which props up the median.

The most common primary damage was front end (53% of sales), followed by rear end (17%).

The monthly median moved up about 27% from April to September; medians swing with the mix of damage sold each month, so read that as direction, not a forecast.

Next to neighboring years of the Traverse, a 2017 brought $75 more at the median, and a 2015 brought $50 less at the median.

The typical one crossed the block with about 123,000 miles.

Wrecked 2016 Chevrolet Traverse questions

How much is a wrecked 2016 Chevrolet Traverse worth?

Most sold for $200 to $700 at US auctions over the last 6 months, with a median of $375 across 365 sales. Where yours lands depends on the damage, whether it runs, mileage and title.

Does it matter if my 2016 Chevrolet Traverse still runs?

Yes. 74% 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 2016 Chevrolet Traverse 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 2016 Chevrolet Traverse 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.
