Question 1

What do side 2022 KIA SELTOS models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 71 recorded sales of the 2022 KIA SELTOS with side damage, the median was $5,150, from $3,500 to $8,100. That is 5% above the $4,900 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $3,950 a good price for this 2022 KIA SELTOS?

Accepted Answer

795 comparable 2022 KIA SELTOS listings sold at auction for a median of $4,900, spanning $3,300 to $7,700. At $3,950 this one went 19% 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

How much below its undamaged value did this KIA SELTOS sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2022 KIA SELTOS's pre-damage retail value at $17,402. It sold for $3,950 — 77% below that. A gap this size is normal for auction vehicles: the buyer takes on the repair cost, the paperwork and the risk that damage is worse than the photos show.

Question 4

How far is this KIA SELTOS from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in KY - LEXINGTON. The nearest major vehicle export port is Savannah, 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

This KIA SELTOS has side and minor dent/scratches damage — how does that affect it?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Is 79,371 miles high for a 2022 KIA SELTOS?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2022 KIA SELTOS listings at auction averaged 55,973 miles across 795 sales, so at 79,371 miles this one sits 42% 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.
