Accepted Answer

Across 23 recorded sales of the 2021 CHEVROLET MALIBU with normal wear & tear damage, the median was $10,588, from $3,650 to $15,250. That is 175% above the $3,850 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $20,750 a good price for this 2021 CHEVROLET MALIBU?

Accepted Answer

940 comparable 2021 CHEVROLET MALIBU listings sold at auction for a median of $3,850, spanning $3,100 to $6,150. At $20,750 this one went 439% above 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

This CHEVROLET MALIBU sold without keys — does that matter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, usually. A missing key means the vehicle often cannot be started or moved under its own power at the yard, so its condition is harder to verify and buyers bid more cautiously. Replacing a modern key and reprogramming it to the immobiliser typically runs into the hundreds. It is one of the more common reasons an otherwise sound car sells below its comparables.

Question 4

How far is this CHEVROLET MALIBU from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in CA - GARDENA. The nearest major vehicle export port is Long Beach, roughly 200 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $250-$350, 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 5

Is 18,366 miles high for a 2021 CHEVROLET MALIBU?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2021 CHEVROLET MALIBU listings at auction averaged 83,249 miles across 940 sales, so at 18,366 miles this one sits 78% below 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.
