Question 1

What do water/flood 2025 HYUNDAI SONATA models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 13 recorded sales of the 2025 HYUNDAI SONATA with water/flood damage, the median was $8,850, from $5,300 to $10,600. That is 8% below the $9,600 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $9,700 a good price for this 2025 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Accepted Answer

1864 comparable 2025 HYUNDAI SONATA listings sold at auction for a median of $9,600, spanning $5,700 to $14,450. At $9,700 this one went 1% above 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 2025 HYUNDAI SONATA's pre-damage retail value at $26,823. It sold for $9,700 — 64% 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 TX - HASLET. The nearest major vehicle export port is Houston, 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 2025 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 12 miles high for a 2025 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2025 HYUNDAI SONATA listings at auction averaged 16,107 miles across 1864 sales, so at 12 miles this one sits 100% below 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.
