What do mechanical 2021 BUICK ENCORE models sell for?

Across 23 recorded sales of the 2021 BUICK ENCORE with mechanical damage, the median was $4,675, from $3,600 to $7,600. That is 6% above the $4,400 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Was $4,700 a good price for this 2021 BUICK ENCORE?

580 comparable 2021 BUICK ENCORE listings sold at auction for a median of $4,400, spanning $3,200 to $7,600. At $4,700 this one went 7% above that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

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

The insurer put this 2021 BUICK ENCORE's pre-damage retail value at $14,914. It sold for $4,700 — 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 "RUN AND DRIVES" mean on this listing?

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2021 BUICK ENCORE. 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.

What does a clean title mean for this BUICK ENCORE?

This 2021 BUICK ENCORE 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.

This BUICK ENCORE has mechanical and minor dent/scratches damage — how does that affect it?

Damage recorded in two areas usually points to a heavier impact than either label suggests on its own, and it raises the odds of structural damage behind the panels. The auction records the primary and secondary areas only; it does not assess the frame. Photographs and, where available, a physical inspection are the only way to judge how far it goes.
