The 2016 Subaru WRX auction market at a glance

The middle half of sales ran from $500 to $2,800, a 5.6x spread, so the damage on the car matters far more than the badge.

60% 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 (57% of sales), followed by rear end (12%).

Next to neighboring years of the WRX, a 2017 brought $125 less at the median, and a 2015 brought $50 less at the median.

The typical one crossed the block with about 109,000 miles.

Wrecked 2016 Subaru WRX questions

How much is a wrecked 2016 Subaru WRX worth?

Most sold for $500 to $2,800 at US auctions over the last 6 months, with a median of $1,275 across 182 sales. Where yours lands depends on the damage, whether it runs, mileage and title.

Does it matter if my 2016 Subaru WRX still runs?

Yes. 60% 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 Subaru WRX or sell it whole?

At a median of $1,275, selling whole usually wins: parting out takes months, and fees and the leftover shell eat most of the difference.

Can I sell a 2016 Subaru WRX 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.
