What do side 2016 AUDI S3 models sell for?

Across 15 recorded sales of the 2016 AUDI S3 with side damage, the median was $5,025, from $3,650 to $8,900. That is 7% below the $5,400 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Was $4,600 a good price for this 2016 AUDI S3?

149 comparable 2016 AUDI S3 listings sold at auction for a median of $5,400, spanning $3,200 to $8,975. At $4,600 this one went 15% below that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

This AUDI S3 sold without keys — does that matter?

Yes, usually. A missing key means the vehicle often cannot be started or moved under its own power at the yard, so its condition is harder to verify and buyers bid more cautiously. Replacing a modern key and reprogramming it to the immobiliser typically runs into the hundreds. It is one of the more common reasons an otherwise sound car sells below its comparables.

How much below its undamaged value did this AUDI S3 sell for?

The insurer put this 2016 AUDI S3's pre-damage retail value at $14,340. It sold for $4,600 — 68% below that. A gap this size is normal for auction vehicles: the buyer takes on the repair cost, the paperwork and the risk that damage is worse than the photos show.

What does a salvage title mean for this AUDI S3?

This 2016 AUDI S3 was sold on a salvage title. A salvage title means an insurer declared the vehicle a total loss. Repairing it and passing a state inspection can convert it to a rebuilt title, which stays on the record permanently and affects resale value.

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2016 AUDI S3. It is a short status flag applied by the auction, not the result of a mechanical inspection. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.
