Question 1

What do minor dent/scratches 2021 KIA SORENTO models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 18 recorded sales of the 2021 KIA SORENTO with minor dent/scratches damage, the median was $12,700, from $7,000 to $16,000. That is 81% above the $7,000 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $12,700 a good price for this 2021 KIA SORENTO?

Accepted Answer

1527 comparable 2021 KIA SORENTO listings sold at auction for a median of $7,000, spanning $4,050 to $10,700. At $12,700 this one went 81% above 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

What does a clean title mean for this KIA SORENTO?

Accepted Answer

This 2021 KIA SORENTO 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.

Question 4

How far is this KIA SORENTO from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in SC - SPARTANBURG. The nearest major vehicle export port is Charleston, roughly 130 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $200-$300, 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 SORENTO. 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 120,437 miles high for a 2021 KIA SORENTO?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2021 KIA SORENTO listings at auction averaged 77,166 miles across 1527 sales, so at 120,437 miles this one sits 56% 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.
