Question 1

Was $3,450 a good price for this 2016 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE?

Accepted Answer

120 comparable 2016 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE listings sold at auction for a median of $3,500, spanning $3,075 to $4,750. At $3,450 this one went 1% below that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

Question 2

What does a salvage mean for this CHEVROLET TRAVERSE?

Accepted Answer

This 2016 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE was sold on a salvage. 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.

Question 3

How far is this CHEVROLET TRAVERSE from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in IA - DAVENPORT. The nearest major vehicle export port is Houston, roughly 1,000 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $650-$950, 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 4

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2016 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. 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.

Question 5

Is 37,114 miles high for a 2016 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2016 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE listings at auction averaged 91,407 miles across 120 sales, so at 37,114 miles this one sits 59% 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

Who sold this 2016 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE?

Accepted Answer

The listing seller was NORTH STAR INSURANCE. Seller type is a useful signal: insurers typically consign total-loss vehicles, rental and fleet operators consign on a cycle regardless of damage, and dealers consign trade-ins they do not want to retail. Each implies a different history behind the same damage label.
