Accepted Answer

Across 20 recorded sales of the 2017 FORD FOCUS RS with front end damage, the median was $6,350, from $3,550 to $10,400. That is 13% below the $7,300 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $5,200 a good price for this 2017 FORD FOCUS RS?

Accepted Answer

39 comparable 2017 FORD FOCUS RS listings sold at auction for a median of $7,300, spanning $3,550 to $10,500. At $5,200 this one went 29% 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 3

What does a salvage mean for this FORD FOCUS RS?

Accepted Answer

This 2017 FORD FOCUS RS 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 4

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

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2017 FORD FOCUS RS. 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.

Question 5

How far is this FORD FOCUS RS from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in IL - GRANITE CITY. The nearest major vehicle export port is Baltimore, roughly 700 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $450-$675, 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 6

Is 129,828 miles high for a 2017 FORD FOCUS RS?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2017 FORD FOCUS RS listings at auction averaged 65,311 miles across 39 sales, so at 129,828 miles this one sits 99% above 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.
