What do front end 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU models sell for?

Across 266 recorded sales of the 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU with front end damage, the median was $3,500, from $3,050 to $4,600. That is 1% below the $3,550 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

What does a salvage-al mean for this CHEVROLET MALIBU?

This 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU was sold on a salvage-al. 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.

How far is this CHEVROLET MALIBU from an export port?

The lot sat at IAAI in AL - ATHENS. The nearest major vehicle export port is New Orleans, roughly 350 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $300-$425, 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.

Is 113,597 miles high for a 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU?

Comparable 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU listings at auction averaged 82,192 miles across 860 sales, so at 113,597 miles this one sits 38% 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.

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU. It is a short status flag applied by the auction, not the result of a mechanical inspection. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

Did this 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU come with keys?

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 front end damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.
