Question 1

What do water/flood 2023 KIA FORTE models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 68 recorded sales of the 2023 KIA FORTE with water/flood damage, the median was $5,200, from $3,700 to $7,300. That is 6% above the $4,900 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $6,500 a good price for this 2023 KIA FORTE?

Accepted Answer

5113 comparable 2023 KIA FORTE listings sold at auction for a median of $4,900, spanning $3,400 to $7,650. At $6,500 this one went 33% 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

How much below its undamaged value did this KIA FORTE sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2023 KIA FORTE's pre-damage retail value at $17,901. It sold for $6,500 — 64% 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.

Question 4

What does a non-repairable mean for this KIA FORTE?

Accepted Answer

This 2023 KIA FORTE was sold on a non-repairable. That is the most restrictive category: in most US states the vehicle cannot be retitled for road use and is intended for parts or export only. Import rules vary by country, so check locally before bidding.

Question 5

What does "RUN AND DRIVES" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2023 KIA FORTE. 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 6

Is 90,054 miles high for a 2023 KIA FORTE?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2023 KIA FORTE listings at auction averaged 43,293 miles across 5113 sales, so at 90,054 miles this one sits 108% 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.
