What do front end 2018 BUICK ENCLAVE models sell for?

Was $3,450 a good price for this 2018 BUICK ENCLAVE?

630 comparable 2018 BUICK ENCLAVE listings sold at auction for a median of $4,200, spanning $3,250 to $6,600. At $3,450 this one went 18% 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 BUICK ENCLAVE 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 BUICK ENCLAVE sell for?

The insurer put this 2018 BUICK ENCLAVE's pre-damage retail value at $20,866. It sold for $3,450 — 83% 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 "ENHANCED" mean on this listing?

ENHANCED is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 BUICK ENCLAVE. It marks a lot the auction has given extra listing prominence, not a statement about condition. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

What does a clean title mean for this BUICK ENCLAVE?

This 2018 BUICK ENCLAVE was sold on a clean title. A clean title means no total-loss brand was recorded at the point of sale, which is unusual at salvage auctions and typically lifts the price.
