Question 1

What do rear 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 162 recorded sales of the 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA with rear damage, the median was $5,000, from $3,500 to $7,800. 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 $4,800 a good price for this 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Accepted Answer

2773 comparable 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA listings sold at auction for a median of $4,750, spanning $3,350 to $7,500. At $4,800 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

What does a salvage mean for this HYUNDAI SONATA?

Accepted Answer

This 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA was sold on a salvage. 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.

Question 4

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.

Question 5

Is 86,128 miles high for a 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2021 HYUNDAI SONATA listings at auction averaged 71,119 miles across 2773 sales, so at 86,128 miles this one sits 21% 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 far is this HYUNDAI SONATA from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in LA - LAFAYETTE. The nearest major vehicle export port is New Orleans, roughly 130 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $200-$300, 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.
