Question 1

What do minor dent/scratches 2017 BUICK ENCORE models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 16 recorded sales of the 2017 BUICK ENCORE with minor dent/scratches damage, the median was $3,900, from $3,150 to $5,100. That is 4% above the $3,750 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

What does a salvage title mean for this BUICK ENCORE?

Accepted Answer

This 2017 BUICK ENCORE 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.

Question 3

How far is this BUICK ENCORE from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in WA - AIRWAY HEIGHTS. The nearest major vehicle export port is Tacoma, roughly 60 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $200-$300, 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.

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 2017 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.

Question 5

Is 94,475 miles high for a 2017 BUICK ENCORE?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2017 BUICK ENCORE listings at auction averaged 65,664 miles across 272 sales, so at 94,475 miles this one sits 44% 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

Did this 2017 BUICK ENCORE come with keys?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this lot was listed with keys present, which usually means the vehicle could at least be started or moved at the yard. Combined with minor dent/scratches damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.
