What do front end 2020 HYUNDAI SONATA models sell for?

Across 876 recorded sales of the 2020 HYUNDAI SONATA with front end damage, the median was $4,450, from $3,250 to $6,800. That is 3% below the $4,600 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Was $3,800 a good price for this 2020 HYUNDAI SONATA?

1972 comparable 2020 HYUNDAI SONATA listings sold at auction for a median of $4,600, spanning $3,350 to $7,150. At $3,800 this one went 17% below 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 2020 HYUNDAI SONATA's pre-damage retail value at $18,551. It sold for $3,800 — 80% 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 "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2020 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.

What does a salvage title mean for this HYUNDAI SONATA?

This 2020 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.

Is 27,748 miles high for a 2020 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Comparable 2020 HYUNDAI SONATA listings at auction averaged 73,404 miles across 1972 sales, so at 27,748 miles this one sits 62% 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.
