Question 1

What do theft 2021 KIA SPORTAGE models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 78 recorded sales of the 2021 KIA SPORTAGE with theft damage, the median was $5,000, from $3,500 to $7,450. That is 14% 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

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 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 3

Is 36,133 miles high for a 2021 KIA SPORTAGE?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2021 KIA SPORTAGE listings at auction averaged 69,452 miles across 1607 sales, so at 36,133 miles this one sits 48% 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 4

Who sold this 2021 KIA SPORTAGE?

Accepted Answer

The listing seller was MERCURY INSURANCE. 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.

Question 5

Did this 2021 KIA SPORTAGE come with keys?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this lot was listed with keys present, which usually means the vehicle could at least be started or moved at the yard. Combined with theft damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.

Question 6

Can I buy this 2021 KIA SPORTAGE from AutoBidCar?

Accepted Answer

No. AutoBidCar is an archive of past auction listings, not a seller — we have never owned this vehicle. This 2021 KIA SPORTAGE was listed at IAAI as lot 44273591 and any sale happened there. We publish the record so buyers can research what comparable vehicles actually sold for.
