Question 1

What do side 2023 HYUNDAI SONATA models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 226 recorded sales of the 2023 HYUNDAI SONATA with side damage, the median was $6,600, from $4,150 to $9,700. That is 5% above the $6,300 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $3,950 a good price for this 2023 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Accepted Answer

2571 comparable 2023 HYUNDAI SONATA listings sold at auction for a median of $6,300, spanning $3,875 to $9,800. At $3,950 this one went 37% 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

What does a clean title mean for this HYUNDAI SONATA?

Accepted Answer

This 2023 HYUNDAI SONATA was sold on a clean title. 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.

Question 4

How far is this HYUNDAI SONATA from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in CA - VAN NUYS. 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

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2023 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.

Question 6

Is 26,100 miles high for a 2023 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2023 HYUNDAI SONATA listings at auction averaged 43,277 miles across 2571 sales, so at 26,100 miles this one sits 40% 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.
