30 Dodge Hornet lots for sale across 29+ Copart locations – model years 2023–2025, avg. mileage 33,000 mi. 10% clean title, 70% salvage; Front End is the top damage (47%). Bids start at $600, and recent Dodges sold for a median winning bid around $2,100 before fees across the make.
The Hornet is Dodge's newest nameplate, only in showrooms since 2023, so there's essentially no sold history here yet to build a price from. Across the make a recent Dodge sold for a median winning bid near $2,100 before fees, most between $1,200 and $4,750 before fees, though a Hornet that shows up this early typically carries far less mileage and a cleaner service record than that make-wide mix suggests. Most stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
Underneath the Dodge badge, the Hornet rides on the same Stellantis small-wide platform as the Alfa Romeo Tonale, and Stellantis assembles it in Italy rather than North America – a detail worth remembering if you're planning a rebuild and wondering about parts lead times. The GT trim runs a turbocharged 2.0-liter four with real power on tap, while the R/T pairs a smaller 1.3 turbo with an electric motor and a battery pack mounted under the rear seat and cargo floor. On any R/T lot, treat the high-voltage battery the way you would on a modern hybrid – a hard hit or flood near the rear axle means budgeting for a pack you can't price from photos alone. All-wheel drive is standard across the lineup, so there's a rear-mounted motor or a mechanical AWD system to account for depending on trim. Because the platform and infotainment come from a European sister brand, confirm any electronics fault isn't a software issue before assuming it's a hardware failure.
Buying is quick: register free – no dealer license – set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
Note: ACV and damage data come from the original auction listing. Always check the condition and title yourself before you bid.
FAQ
What condition are these Hornets in?
About 30 lots on a model barely a few years old, 70% salvage-titled and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End is the most common damage, and mileage averages just 33,000.
Is a salvage Hornet worth buying?
Possibly, given how new and low-mileage most of these still are. There isn't enough sold history yet to quote a Hornet-specific price, but across the make a recent Dodge sold for a median winning bid near $2,100 before fees. A damaged high-voltage battery on an R/T or unresolved electronics faults are where the math stops working; a clean-title Hornet is the lower-risk starting point.
What should I check before bidding?
The high-voltage battery pack first on any R/T plug-in hybrid, especially after a rear hit or flood damage. On the GT, check the turbo and cooling system like you would on any new turbocharged four. On either trim, confirm dashboard warnings aren't tied to a software glitch rather than real hardware.
Can I insure and register a salvage Hornet?
Not while it's still salvage. You register and insure it only after it's rebuilt and passes a state inspection; once re-titled rebuilt, most insurers will write it – just not the company that totaled it. Check with your insurer before you bid.
How does the auction work?
Register free, no dealer license needed. Set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
How do I check a Hornet's history before bidding?
Every lot lists the VIN, damage type and title brand. Run the VIN through a vehicle-history report – worth doing even on a car this new, since a hidden brand can wipe out the resale value fast.
What are good alternatives to the Hornet?
The Chevy Trailblazer covers the same small-crossover class at a lower price point, and the Jeep Compass is the in-house alternative if you'd rather stay with a Stellantis brand.
