Question 1

What do hail 2018 BUICK ENCLAVE models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 41 recorded sales of the 2018 BUICK ENCLAVE with hail damage, the median was $5,725, from $3,750 to $7,799. That is 36% above the $4,200 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $3,700 a good price for this 2018 BUICK ENCLAVE?

Accepted Answer

617 comparable 2018 BUICK ENCLAVE listings sold at auction for a median of $4,200, spanning $3,250 to $6,600. At $3,700 this one went 12% below that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

Question 3

How much below its undamaged value did this BUICK ENCLAVE sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2018 BUICK ENCLAVE's pre-damage retail value at $12,950. It sold for $3,700 — 71% 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.

Question 4

What does "RUN AND DRIVES" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 BUICK ENCLAVE. It means the vehicle started and moved under its own power during a brief check at the yard. It is not a mechanical inspection and says nothing about how far it would drive. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

Question 5

Is 136,749 miles high for a 2018 BUICK ENCLAVE?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2018 BUICK ENCLAVE listings at auction averaged 97,155 miles across 617 sales, so at 136,749 miles this one sits 41% above that. At salvage auctions mileage moves the price far less than damage does — a low-mileage car with structural damage will still sell under a higher-mileage clean one.

Question 6

How far is this BUICK ENCLAVE from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in MO - COLUMBIA. The nearest major vehicle export port is Houston, roughly 780 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $500-$750, which is a real part of the landed cost and one reason identical cars fetch different bids depending on where they sit. Rates are indicative market figures rather than quotes, and rise with fuel prices and in winter.
