Question 2

Was $6,500 a good price for this 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU?

Accepted Answer

770 comparable 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU listings sold at auction for a median of $3,550, spanning $3,050 to $5,425. At $6,500 this one went 83% 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

How much below its undamaged value did this CHEVROLET MALIBU sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU's pre-damage retail value at $14,150. It sold for $6,500 — 54% 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.

Question 4

What does a clean title mean for this CHEVROLET MALIBU?

Accepted Answer

This 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU 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.

Question 5

Is 50,262 miles high for a 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU listings at auction averaged 82,121 miles across 770 sales, so at 50,262 miles this one sits 39% 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.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

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