Question 1

What do mechanical 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 16 recorded sales of the 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA with mechanical damage, the median was $5,400, from $4,050 to $6,600. That is 14% 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 $4,600 a good price for this 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Accepted Answer

2596 comparable 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA listings sold at auction for a median of $4,750, spanning $3,350 to $7,500. At $4,600 this one went 3% 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

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 $10,662. It sold for $4,600 — 57% 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.

Question 4

How far is this HYUNDAI SONATA from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in CA - SAN MARTIN. 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.

Question 5

Is 173,329 miles high for a 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA listings at auction averaged 70,698 miles across 2596 sales, so at 173,329 miles this one sits 145% 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

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

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2021 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.
