Question 1

What do right front 2026 KIA SPORTAGE models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 31 recorded sales of the 2026 KIA SPORTAGE with right front damage, the median was $10,525, from $5,800 to $15,100. That is 2% below the $10,700 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $14,000 a good price for this 2026 KIA SPORTAGE?

Accepted Answer

1070 comparable 2026 KIA SPORTAGE listings sold at auction for a median of $10,700, spanning $5,800 to $15,600. At $14,000 this one went 31% 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

How far is this KIA SPORTAGE from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in CA - CARSON. The nearest major vehicle export port is Long Beach, 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.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2026 KIA SPORTAGE. 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 5

Is 1,843 miles high for a 2026 KIA SPORTAGE?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2026 KIA SPORTAGE listings at auction averaged 8,409 miles across 1070 sales, so at 1,843 miles this one sits 78% below 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.

Question 6

Who sold this 2026 KIA SPORTAGE?

Accepted Answer

The listing seller was AUTO CLUB OF SOUTHERN CA (ACSC). Seller type is a useful signal: insurers typically consign total-loss vehicles, rental and fleet operators consign on a cycle regardless of damage, and dealers consign trade-ins they do not want to retail. Each implies a different history behind the same damage label.
