What do front end 2016 KIA OPTIMA models sell for?

Across 50 recorded sales of the 2016 KIA OPTIMA with front end damage, the median was $3,475, from $3,050 to $4,050. That is 1% above the $3,450 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

What does a salvage vehicle title mean for this KIA OPTIMA?

This 2016 KIA OPTIMA was sold on a salvage vehicle 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.

How far is this KIA OPTIMA from an export port?

The lot sat at COPART in TX - WILMER. The nearest major vehicle export port is Houston, 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.

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2016 KIA OPTIMA. 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.

Is 147,348 miles high for a 2016 KIA OPTIMA?

Comparable 2016 KIA OPTIMA listings at auction averaged 91,068 miles across 251 sales, so at 147,348 miles this one sits 62% 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.

Did this 2016 KIA OPTIMA 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 front end damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.
