Question 1

What do minor dent/scratches 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 16 recorded sales of the 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA with minor dent/scratches damage, the median was $5,000, from $3,050 to $9,200. That is 5% above the $4,750 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $4,400 a good price for this 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Accepted Answer

2710 comparable 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA listings sold at auction for a median of $4,750, spanning $3,350 to $7,500. At $4,400 this one went 7% 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 SONATA 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

How far is this HYUNDAI SONATA from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in NV - NORTH LAS VEGAS. The nearest major vehicle export port is Long Beach, 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

Is 71,984 miles high for a 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA listings at auction averaged 71,007 miles across 2710 sales, so at 71,984 miles this one sits 1% 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 6

How much below its undamaged value did this HYUNDAI SONATA sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA's pre-damage retail value at $16,210. It sold for $4,400 — 73% below that. A gap this size is normal for auction vehicles: the buyer takes on the repair cost, the paperwork and the risk that damage is worse than the photos show.
