What do front end 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA models sell for?

Across 1308 recorded sales of the 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA with front end damage, the median was $4,550, from $3,300 to $7,200. That is 4% below the $4,750 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Was $6,000 a good price for this 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA?

2964 comparable 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA listings sold at auction for a median of $4,750, spanning $3,350 to $7,500. At $6,000 this one went 26% above that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

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

The insurer put this 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA's pre-damage retail value at $21,039. It sold for $6,000 — 71% 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.

What does a salvage title mean for this HYUNDAI SONATA?

This 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA was sold on a salvage title. A salvage title means an insurer declared the vehicle a total loss. Repairing it and passing a state inspection can convert it to a rebuilt title, which stays on the record permanently and affects resale value.

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2021 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.

Is 56,276 miles high for a 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Comparable 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA listings at auction averaged 71,767 miles across 2964 sales, so at 56,276 miles this one sits 22% 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.
