What do mechanical 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU models sell for?

Across 11 recorded sales of the 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU with mechanical damage, the median was $3,625, from $3,050 to $4,950. That is 2% above the $3,550 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

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

829 comparable 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU listings sold at auction for a median of $3,550, spanning $3,050 to $5,400. 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.

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

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.

What does a clean title mean for this CHEVROLET MALIBU?

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.

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

Comparable 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU listings at auction averaged 82,469 miles across 829 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.

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

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.
