Showing results 1 - 24 of 2429
2,429 Honda CR-V lots for sale across 210+ Copart locations — model years 1997–2026, avg. mileage 121,000 mi. 18% clean title, 79% salvage; Front End is the top damage (53%). Bids start at $200, and recent CR-Vs sold for a median winning bid around $4,800.
The CR-V is the compact crossover in Honda's auction pool and the priciest mainstream Honda to buy here. Over the last two years 62 salvage and repairable CR-Vs sold here, most between $2,700 and $11,100 before fees; front-end damage led at 31%, with rear-end hits close behind and hail at the cheap end. That $11,100 upper mark is the tell. Late-model hybrids and clean-title sixth-gens hold their value at auction the way they do on a dealer lot, so the salvage discount on a young CR-V is thinner than on a Civic. Most of these stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
The engine under the hood tells you which checks matter. Fourth-gen (2012–2016) runs the 2.4 four, a five-speed automatic through 2014 and a CVT after that — the early CVT cars drew idle-vibration complaints, so look for a mention of it. Fifth-gen (2017–2022) put the 1.5 turbo in most trims, and that engine's cold-climate oil-dilution issue led Honda to extend the warranty on 2017–2018 cars in northern states; the 2.4 stayed on the base LX through 2019 and is the simpler buy. The hybrid arrived for 2020 with its battery under the cargo floor, which puts the pack in the crumple zone on a rear hit, so a rear-ended hybrid needs a pack inspection before you price it. Sixth-gen from 2023 keeps the 1.5 turbo and a 2.0 hybrid. On AWD models the rear differential wants fresh fluid every few years — a groan on tight turns means it never got any. The body is unibody, so a front hit into the strut towers is the expensive one, while hail and minor dents are the safe end. When the shell is done, the non-repairable CR-V lots sell cheap for the drivetrain and doors.
Buying is quick: register free — no dealer license — set a maximum bid and the system bids 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 CR-Vs in?
About 2,429 lots, 79% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End leads the damage board at 53%, mileage averages about 121,000, and the pool leans toward fifth-gen cars with a growing share of hybrids.
Is a salvage CR-V worth buying?
Yes when the strut towers are straight and the engine is healthy — a rebuilt CR-V resells better than almost any compact crossover. Recent CR-Vs sold for a median winning bid around $4,800 before fees, so the room over a clean-title CR-V is real but thinner on late-model cars. A crushed rear on a hybrid or milky oil on a 1.5 turbo kills the math.
What should I check before bidding?
Strut towers and the radiator support on any front hit, since it's unibody. Then the engine: oil condition on the 1.5 turbo, the CVT on 2015–2016 cars, and the battery pack on any hybrid with rear damage. Cross-check the title brand against the damage photos; they don't always agree.
Can I insure and register a salvage CR-V?
Only after it's rebuilt and passes a state inspection — then most insurers will cover it, just usually not the company that paid out the claim. While it's salvage-titled it can't go on the road. Check with your insurer before you bid.
How does the auction work?
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 — the paperwork's handled.
How do I check a CR-V's history before bidding?
Every lot shows the VIN, damage type and title brand. Run the VIN through a vehicle-history report for prior accidents and title events, and match the reported mileage against the odometer photo before you commit.
What are good alternatives to the CR-V?
Buyers cross-shop the Toyota RAV4 and the Nissan Rogue in the same compact-crossover class; staying with Honda, the smaller HR-V runs cheaper. The RAV4 usually has the deepest salvage pool of the three.
