What do water/flood 2017 FORD EXPLORER models sell for?

Across 14 recorded sales of the 2017 FORD EXPLORER with water/flood damage, the median was $4,250, from $3,100 to $6,800. That is 6% above the $4,000 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

What does a non-repairable mean for this FORD EXPLORER?

This 2017 FORD EXPLORER was sold on a non-repairable. That is the most restrictive category: in most US states the vehicle cannot be retitled for road use and is intended for parts or export only. Import rules vary by country, so check locally before bidding.

How far is this FORD EXPLORER from an export port?

The lot sat at COPART in SC - SPARTANBURG. The nearest major vehicle export port is Charleston, roughly 130 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $200-$300, 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.

What does "ENHANCED" mean on this listing?

ENHANCED is the auction's own condition note for this 2017 FORD EXPLORER. It marks a lot the auction has given extra listing prominence, not a statement about condition. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

Who sold this 2017 FORD EXPLORER?

The listing seller was USAA. 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.

Did this 2017 FORD EXPLORER 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 water/flood damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.
