What does a salvage title mean for this KIA FORTE?

This 2018 KIA FORTE 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 "ENHANCED" mean on this listing?

ENHANCED is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 KIA FORTE. It marks a lot the auction has given extra listing prominence, not a statement about condition. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

Is 221,667 miles high for a 2018 KIA FORTE?

Comparable 2018 KIA FORTE listings at auction averaged 70,036 miles across 97 sales, so at 221,667 miles this one sits 217% 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.

Where was this KIA FORTE located?

The lot was held at COPART in QC - MONTREAL-EST. Location sets the inland transport cost to a port or a repair shop, and state title rules differ, so two otherwise identical cars can be worth noticeably different amounts.

Did this 2018 KIA FORTE come with keys?

Yes — this lot was listed with keys present, which usually means the vehicle could at least be started or moved at the yard. Combined with mechanical damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.
