What do hail 2018 BUICK ENCORE models sell for?

Across 41 recorded sales of the 2018 BUICK ENCORE with hail damage, the median was $3,975, from $3,200 to $5,700. That is 7% above the $3,700 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Was $4,050 a good price for this 2018 BUICK ENCORE?

349 comparable 2018 BUICK ENCORE listings sold at auction for a median of $3,700, spanning $3,050 to $5,600. At $4,050 this one went 9% 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 2018 BUICK ENCORE's pre-damage retail value at $12,619. It sold for $4,050 — 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 BUICK ENCORE?

This 2018 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.

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

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 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.

Is 90,199 miles high for a 2018 BUICK ENCORE?

Comparable 2018 BUICK ENCORE listings at auction averaged 62,846 miles across 349 sales, so at 90,199 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.
