What do front end 2018 KIA OPTIMA models sell for?

Across 135 recorded sales of the 2018 KIA OPTIMA with front end damage, the median was $3,350, from $3,050 to $4,300. That is 4% below the $3,500 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

What does a salvage title mean for this KIA OPTIMA?

This 2018 KIA OPTIMA 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 OPTIMA. 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.

This KIA OPTIMA has front end and mechanical damage — how does that affect it?

Damage recorded in two areas usually points to a heavier impact than either label suggests on its own, and it raises the odds of structural damage behind the panels. The auction records the primary and secondary areas only; it does not assess the frame. Photographs and, where available, a physical inspection are the only way to judge how far it goes.

Is 108,125 miles high for a 2018 KIA OPTIMA?

Comparable 2018 KIA OPTIMA listings at auction averaged 83,209 miles across 486 sales, so at 108,125 miles this one sits 30% 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 OPTIMA located?

The lot was held at COPART in AB - ROCKY VIEW COUNTY. 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.
