Question 1

What do theft 2021 KIA SELTOS models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 14 recorded sales of the 2021 KIA SELTOS with theft damage, the median was $5,500, from $3,750 to $7,725. That is 25% above the $4,400 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $3,650 a good price for this 2021 KIA SELTOS?

Accepted Answer

1558 comparable 2021 KIA SELTOS listings sold at auction for a median of $4,400, spanning $3,200 to $6,500. At $3,650 this one went 17% below that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

Question 3

This KIA SELTOS sold without keys — does that matter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, usually. A missing key means the vehicle often cannot be started or moved under its own power at the yard, so its condition is harder to verify and buyers bid more cautiously. Replacing a modern key and reprogramming it to the immobiliser typically runs into the hundreds. It is one of the more common reasons an otherwise sound car sells below its comparables.

Question 4

How far is this KIA SELTOS from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in ID - DETROIT. The nearest major vehicle export port is Tacoma, roughly 500 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $425-$600, 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.

Question 5

What does "RUN AND DRIVES" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2021 KIA SELTOS. 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.

Question 6

Is 116,778 miles high for a 2021 KIA SELTOS?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2021 KIA SELTOS listings at auction averaged 65,194 miles across 1558 sales, so at 116,778 miles this one sits 79% 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.
