What do minor dent/scratches 2016 KIA OPTIMA models sell for?

Across 12 recorded sales of the 2016 KIA OPTIMA with minor dent/scratches damage, the median was $3,650, from $3,050 to $4,150. That is 6% 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 clean title mean for this KIA OPTIMA?

This 2016 KIA OPTIMA was sold on a clean title. A clean title means no total-loss brand was recorded at the point of sale, which is unusual at salvage auctions and typically lifts the price.

How far is this KIA OPTIMA from an export port?

The lot sat at COPART in TX - HOUSTON. 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 "RUN AND DRIVES" mean on this listing?

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2016 KIA OPTIMA. 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 143,638 miles high for a 2016 KIA OPTIMA?

Comparable 2016 KIA OPTIMA listings at auction averaged 91,258 miles across 259 sales, so at 143,638 miles this one sits 57% 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 minor dent/scratches damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.
