Toyota is one of the deepest pools at auction, and it runs the whole range – Camry and Corolla sedans, RAV4 and Highlander crossovers, Tacoma and Tundra trucks, plus the Prius hybrids that no other make lists in these numbers. Over the last two years 675 salvage and repairable Toyotas sold here, most between $2,100 and $8,100 before fees; front-end damage led at 32% on these mostly crashed cars, with rear-end hits and minor dents next. Resale is the reason the make moves so well. A Toyota holds its value on the retail side, so a rebuilt one has room in it that a rebuilt domestic often doesn't. Most of these cars stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.

What to check depends on which Toyota it is. The trucks and the 4Runner are body-on-frame, so start with the rails – Toyota frames from the 2000s are known for rust, and a front hit that shoves the crossmember back turns a cheap truck into a parts truck. The sedans and crossovers are unibody. A hard front hit there means strut towers and the radiator support, and on anything 2018 and newer the radar behind the grille and the camera at the windshield add a recalibration bill to the bodywork. Hybrids carry a high-voltage pack under the rear seat or floor, so read a flood lot as a battery gamble rather than a cleanup job. Hail and minor dents are the safe end of the board. And line the title brand up against the damage photos on every lot, because they don't always agree.

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 arrange pickup, US delivery or export; we handle the paperwork.

Note: ACV and damage data come from the original auction listing. Always check the condition and title yourself before you bid.
