Question 1

What do theft 2018 HYUNDAI ELANTRA models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 57 recorded sales of the 2018 HYUNDAI ELANTRA with theft damage, the median was $3,563, from $3,050 to $4,775. That is 5% above the $3,400 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $3,000 a good price for this 2018 HYUNDAI ELANTRA?

Accepted Answer

1315 comparable 2018 HYUNDAI ELANTRA listings sold at auction for a median of $3,400, spanning $3,050 to $4,550. At $3,000 this one went 12% 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

This HYUNDAI ELANTRA sold without keys — does that matter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, usually. A missing key means the vehicle often cannot be started or moved under its own power at the yard, so its condition is harder to verify and buyers bid more cautiously. Replacing a modern key and reprogramming it to the immobiliser typically runs into the hundreds. It is one of the more common reasons an otherwise sound car sells below its comparables.

Question 4

Is 102,703 miles high for a 2018 HYUNDAI ELANTRA?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2018 HYUNDAI ELANTRA listings at auction averaged 77,641 miles across 1315 sales, so at 102,703 miles this one sits 32% 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.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. 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 6

How far is this HYUNDAI ELANTRA from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in CA - FONTANA. The nearest major vehicle export port is Long Beach, roughly 200 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $250-$350, 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.
