Was $6,575 a good price for this 2023 KIA FORTE?

5655 comparable 2023 KIA FORTE listings sold at auction for a median of $4,850, spanning $3,350 to $7,500. At $6,575 this one went 36% above that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

What does a scrap-mi mean for this KIA FORTE?

This 2023 KIA FORTE was sold on a scrap-mi. The title type is the auction's own classification and determines what can legally be done with the vehicle afterwards.

How far is this KIA FORTE from an export port?

The lot sat at IAAI in MI - FLINT. The nearest major vehicle export port is Baltimore, roughly 550 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $475-$650, 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.

What does "NOT RUN" mean on this listing?

NOT RUN 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.

Is 13,719 miles high for a 2023 KIA FORTE?

Comparable 2023 KIA FORTE listings at auction averaged 44,374 miles across 5655 sales, so at 13,719 miles this one sits 69% 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.

Did this 2023 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 fresh water damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.
