What do mechanical 2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE models sell for?

Across 84 recorded sales of the 2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE with mechanical damage, the median was $3,750, from $3,150 to $5,400. That is 3% below the $3,850 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

What does a clean title mean for this HYUNDAI SANTA FE?

This 2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE was sold on a clean title. 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.

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

The lot sat at COPART in NC - CHINA GROVE. The nearest major vehicle export port is Charleston, roughly 280 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $250-$325, 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 2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. 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.

Is 179,244 miles high for a 2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE?

Comparable 2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE listings at auction averaged 97,446 miles across 1892 sales, so at 179,244 miles this one sits 84% 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.

Did this 2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE 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 mechanical damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.
