Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Across 49 recorded sales of the 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA with normal wear & tear damage, the median was $4,288, from $3,050 to $10,500. That is 23% above the $3,500 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $3,225 a good price for this 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Accepted Answer

1050 comparable 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA listings sold at auction for a median of $3,500, spanning $3,050 to $4,800. At $3,225 this one went 8% 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 SONATA?

Accepted Answer

This 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA 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 SONATA from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in FL - FORT PIERCE. The nearest major vehicle export port is Jacksonville, 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.

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 SONATA. 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 159,595 miles high for a 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA listings at auction averaged 80,046 miles across 1050 sales, so at 159,595 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.
