Question 1

What do normal wear & tear 2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 84 recorded sales of the 2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE with normal wear & tear damage, the median was $3,850, from $3,150 to $9,050. That is level with the $3,850 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $3,400 a good price for this 2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE?

Accepted Answer

1882 comparable 2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE listings sold at auction for a median of $3,850, spanning $3,100 to $5,400. At $3,400 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

What does a clear mean for this HYUNDAI SANTA FE?

Accepted Answer

This 2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE was sold on a clear. 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.

Question 4

How far is this HYUNDAI SANTA FE from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in AL - MOSS POINT. The nearest major vehicle export port is New Orleans, roughly 350 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $300-$425, 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 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 SANTA FE. 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

Is 149,301 miles high for a 2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE listings at auction averaged 97,508 miles across 1882 sales, so at 149,301 miles this one sits 53% 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.
