What do front end 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA models sell for?

Across 396 recorded sales of the 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA with front end damage, the median was $3,400, from $3,050 to $4,250. That is 4% below the $3,550 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

What does a clear mean for this HYUNDAI SONATA?

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.

How far is this HYUNDAI SONATA from an export port?

The lot sat at IAAI in FL - SANFORD. 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.

Is 139,372 miles high for a 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Comparable 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA listings at auction averaged 79,282 miles across 1194 sales, so at 139,372 miles this one sits 76% 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.

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA. It is a short status flag applied by the auction, not the result of a mechanical inspection. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

Who sold this 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA?

The listing seller was PROGRESSIVE. Seller type is a useful signal: insurers typically consign total-loss vehicles, rental and fleet operators consign on a cycle regardless of damage, and dealers consign trade-ins they do not want to retail. Each implies a different history behind the same damage label.
